Which Aquarian drum head should I buy?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

Choose an Aquarian head that matches your drum’s diameter and the weight or finish you want. These options cover a 14-inch Modern Vintage Thin, a 16-inch Modern Vintage Medium tom head and a 12-inch Super 2 Clear.

Start with the size — a head needs to match your drum’s diameter, so these three aren’t interchangeable alternatives for the same drum.

For a 14-inch drum, look at the Modern Vintage Thin. For a 16-inch tom, the Modern Vintage Medium is the size-matched option here. The Super 2 Clear fits a 12-inch drum and is explicitly listed as a clear head.

The supplied details don’t establish their sound, durability or construction beyond those descriptions. Once you’ve checked the size, compare the full specifications before choosing; don’t rely on the range name alone to judge how a head will play.
