Aquarian

collapse expand iconDescription

The Aquarian Super Kick II drum head delivers a powerful, defined kick drum sound for rock and heavy styles of music. This 2-ply, 22" drum head features Aquarian's patented Floating Muffling System—a narrow felt muffle ring attached to the backside of the head to produce a tight, punchy tone with minimal overtones. The Super Kick II is designed for players seeking an aggressive kick drum sound with a focused attack and short sustain.

Floating Muffling System Provides Built-In Control

Aquarian's innovative Floating Muffling System incorporates a felt damping ring attached to the underside of the drum head. This allows you to adjust the level of muffling to your desired sound by sliding the ring closer to or further from the edge of the drum head. For a shorter, tighter tone, position the ring closer to the center. For more resonance and a broader tone, move the ring toward the edge. This gives you complete control over your kick drum's tone and sustain.

2-Ply Construction Withstands Heavy Playing

The Super Kick II features two plies of Aquarian's proprietary drum head film for durability and consistency. This sturdy, 2-ply construction ensures the drum head can handle the punishing demands of hard-hitting playing styles without denting or warping. The added thickness also helps produce a full, round tone with solid low-end punch. For players seeking maximum volume and projection, the Super Kick II delivers.

Easy Installation and Tuning

Like all Aquarian drum heads, the Super Kick II installs quickly and tunes up easily to your desired pitch. An adhesive backing secures the felt muffling ring in place during installation. Simply remove the ring, install the drum head as normal using a standard drum key, reattach the ring and tune the drum. The Super Kick II's focused tone allows for easy tuning by ear to achieve your perfect kick drum sound.

Additional Sizes Available

The Super Kick II drum head is available in 14", 16", 18", 20" and 22" sizes to suit a variety of kick drums. For a punchy, defined tone in a compact kick, choose a smaller 14" or 16" size. Larger 18"–22" sizes will produce a full, resonant kick drum tone with solid low-end projection perfect for rock and heavy styles.

omG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this bassdrum head is absolutly amazing! i have owned for about 2 years now! I prefer to have this drum head somewhat loose to give you that desired clicky sound you want. this head is perfect match with the Aquarian regulator resonant head with small hole.I also did not mention I dont put a single pillow or any sort of muffling in my bass drum. I also have a giraltar double pedal click pad for the perfect clicky sound. I'd like to see any other head pull that off. All i ever get compliment after compliment about how amazing my bass drum sounds. OMG especially miked. Over all you will never go wrong with this head and never need a new one for one for a very long time.

ehh not the best

ive broken 3 bass heads in the past year or so. one was the stock head on my new set taht lasted about 5 months, a remo powerstroke 3 which went for around 6 months, and this which lasted me little over a month. this NEEDS more muffling inside the drums, where as the remo powerstroke 3 needed none for my taste. it also gave me a much more of a hitting water type of sound than the thump i got with the remo. overall very expensive, and i believe i wasted 40 dollars on this head. would deffinatly go remo powerstroke again but they didnt have it in stock when i went.

    I've tried EMAD, GMAD and SMT bass drum heads. None of them come close to the mid-cutting, bass-boosting ability of the Aquarian Super Kick II. It is the perfect bass drum batter side head.

    I have always been a fan of the Aquarian Super Kick Series. My favorite to date is the Super Kick II. I am primarily a Gospel drummer. I appreciate the amount of attack this head offers along with the flexibility tune it either high or low without sacrificing the overall tone of the head. I would absolutely recommend this product.

    I first used this head on a set I owned years ago with a 22" bass drum. The difference in sound was amazing. I now have had a 24" kick drum for close to 20 years. I put this head on it probably 15-16 years ago. It just now gave way and gave up the ghost. I put my old Evans EMAD head on it until I get another Aquarian. No other head compares to this one as far as sound quality and durability.
