Aquarian produces the most heavy-duty coatings and drumheads.
This one is somehow more sensitive than normal 2-ply.
Very pleased with the sound and durability. It also looks like new even after extensive use.

I purchased a Yamaha maple 12" snare that came with this same series of head and was so impressed with the evenness of tone and simplicity within tuning that I bought this one for another Yamaha maple snare. Great purchase! I don't know what Aquarian does, but they were able to outdo my Remo Coated series snare head by far by making the drum sound more pronounced. Though I am a Remo guy typicall for all other heads on a drum, I am beginning to get curious of what other heads from Aquarian might do for my tone.
