What are the different types of Aquarian drum heads, and how do I choose the right one for my drum kit?

Aquarian offers a variety of drum heads designed to cater to different playing styles and tonal preferences:

- Clear Heads: Provide a bright, open sound with maximum resonance. Ideal for achieving a more pronounced, articulate tone. Suitable for rock, pop, and other styles where a clear, punchy sound is desired.

- Coated Heads: Feature a textured coating that offers a warmer, more focused sound with reduced overtones. They are often used for jazz and blues, where a softer, more controlled tone is preferred.

- Hydraulic Heads: Have a unique oil-filled layer between two plies, which provides a deep, controlled sound with minimal sustain. Perfect for genres like rock where a punchy, focused sound is desired.

- Texture Coated Heads: Combine the warmth of coated heads with additional texture for enhanced control and durability. Great for a variety of playing styles that require both warmth and resilience. The choice depends on your musical style and desired sound. For a versatile, balanced tone, clear heads are a good choice. For a warmer, softer sound, coated heads are ideal. Hydraulic heads offer a more controlled sound for aggressive styles.

How do I properly install and tune Aquarian drum heads?

To install and tune Aquarian drum heads:

- Installation: Remove the old drum head and clean the drum shell. Place the new Aquarian head onto the drum, ensuring it is evenly seated. Hand-tighten the tension rods in a star pattern to distribute pressure evenly.

- Tuning: Use a drum key to tighten the rods gradually in a star pattern to achieve even tension across the drumhead. Tap around the drumhead with a drumstick to check for any uneven pitch and make fine adjustments as needed. Continue adjusting until you reach the desired tone and pitch.
