Evans
4.7
(73)
"Evans G2’s all around."
"EMAD for the bass drum"
"Evans G2 clear or coated."
"Evans HD Dry snare."
"Evans UV2’s tom batter. Clear or coated"
"Evans G1 tom reso. Clear"
"Evans Snare Side 300."
"Evans EMAD2 bass drum."
"Seconding the UV2’s, I really love them!"
"Check out Evans UV2's. They're between the tone of a coated and clear head, but that coating is ridiculously durable so it makes your heads last a lot longer which more than justifies the slightly higher price."

Aquarian
4.7
(14)
"I'm using an Aquarian Triple Threat coated head. It's 3 ply 7mil head plus an Aquarian Studio ring. Plus I stuck some little rubber & felt furniture glides to the ring just experimenting with it. Plus an Aquarian Duradot & 2 T-tabs. I really love the sound & man does it crack."
"Aquarian's Force Ten heads are about as deep and punchy as you get without getting completely dead like Hydraulics."
"It sounds amazing, I prefer it to my usual coated emperor/ clear ambassador combo"
"Also if you want maximum punchiness check out Aquarian's Force Tens. They're 50% thicker"
"Anything from Aquarian has always sounded great in a live setting."
"Standard 2-ply heads are the ... Aquarian Response 2."
"Drum kick-Aquarium Super Kick2"
"Something about the Aquarian Superkick 2 on a bass drum. It's amazing for any type of music."
"Aquarian makes Super 2 heads which have a 5-mil and 7-mil instead of two 7-mils."
"Aquarian Texture Coated. Simple but perfect."
