Texture Coated Series

The Texture, Coated Series drumhead, is a 10mil, single ply, medium weight head that produces a responsive and resonant tone with sticks, mallets, and brushes. The Aquarian Z-100 coating is one of the thinnest and most durable coatings ever developed. Unlike conventional coatings, it resists chipping, and it lasts and lasts and lasts! Aquarian “Safe-T-Loc” hoop, combined with our “Sound Curve” collar design provides for easy tuning, great stick response and zero slippage inside the hoop. Aquarian’s Texture Coated heads offer consistent tone, increased resonance, and the sensitive response that drummers expect from a traditional sounding single ply drumhead.

The Aquarian Difference

Incorporated into all Aquarian heads is a patented 360-degree Safe-T-Loc™ Hoop that eliminates slippage and detuning. The Aquarian Hoop makes it virtually impossible for a head to pull out or pucker, resulting in more consistent tuning with increased resonance.

Aquarian’s exclusive multi-ply vacuum tunning process helps reduce tone killing air pockets and dead spots by removing more of the air caught between plies. The result is a 2 ply head that is more responsive and resonant. The thickness of the drumhead film is a determining factor in how fast the head will vibrate. The thinner the material, the faster it vibrates, producing higher frequencies and more noticeable overtones. Thicker drumhead film generates lower relative frequencies. All of our heads are made exclusively from Aquarian’s ultra-responsive 3,5,7 and 10mil thick NuBRITE drumhead film.

The number of plies used to make a drumhead will affect the response and the timbre of a drum. Combining more plies together adds more mass resulting in fewer overtones that adds warmth, focus, and durability. Aquarian heads come in One, Two, Three, and Hybrid ply combination models.
