Aquarian 14" Jack De Johnette Signature

Amongst drumhead manufacturers Aquarian is at the level of Evans or Remo. So, for me I don?t see the point to battle about who?s the best between the 3 of them... it is more a matter choice. I personally really enjoy this de johnette. If you want to try something different, a bit wild, this one is for you. Rather dry and very focus, not much of ringing and the look is also neat.

On the other hand, I had to try one of their inverted power dot, and I really don?t like them. Just playing a power dot head feels not right for me.Aquarian or any other brand.

Beautiful dry sounding head, textured feel for brushes and a lot of durability. Can't really be tuned low, but great for midrange and above.

I really did not expect much of a difference as I had been using decent remo heads but the tug and crack off my snare now is superb and the black looks deadly.

Quite a nice head tonally for a single ply. Just a little "wetter" than a conventional "Texture Coated" 14" but this doesn't really justify the price hike against Aquarian's standard TC range. I've just fitted these to a brand new DW Collectors kit as a "change" from Aquarian's "Texture Coated" and "Classic Clear" that I've used for many years. Would I buy these again? NO

Perfect price and quality!

Very durable and great tone

Have been using this skin for ~10 years now on every snare I've owned.
Has great range, holds up well regardless of the type of music or how hard it's being battered.
Can't remember a gig where another drummer hasn't asked me about the snare head, either because of it's look or it's sound.
