Aquarian Super Kick II Bass Drumhead for Focused Punch and Built-In Tone Control
The Aquarian Super Kick II is part of Aquarian’s best-selling Super Kick line of bass drumheads, designed for drummers, drum techs, and recording engineers who want a controlled, musical kick drum sound without loading the bass drum with blankets, pillows, or external muffling. It delivers easy bass drum tone control with a focused response and strong low-end punch. Aquarian’s patented Floating Muffling System uses a narrow band of acoustic felt to create a pre-dampened yet natural sound. The felt moves and breathes with the drumhead, helping reduce unwanted high-end frequencies while enhancing the low-end impact of the bass drum. Super Kick bass drumheads are available in single-ply, double-ply, and hybrid-ply versions, with clear, texture coated, and vintage coated finishes. Across the Super Kick series, the goal is simple: better bass drum tone control with less extra work, because your kick drum should not need a pillow collection to behave.Key Features
