Was just reading through the "Mexico" thread and it reminded me. Just over a year ago I switched over to Aquarian heads from Remo (after 30 years of Remo). I have been very happy with the product. A free "kick pad' came with the Force I batter I ordered. It was a Satin finish head, hence a little "bumpy". I placed the kick pad on the head as one normally would and lo and behold - the darn thing would NOT stick to that head.

.
The glue on the pad was certainly sticky enough. But it would pop right off after one or two hits. I would hope to think "I" could not have messed up applying said pad

. Not a big issue, but I did find it odd that they included the pad and it would not adhere to the head. I assume it would adhere fine to a smooth gloss head.
