Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
I really like the Classic Clears (the ones that are actually clear) and have used them on several kits, but the Classic Clear Black, which I bought recently, I returned. For some silly reason Aquarian actually paints the inside of a clear head with some sort of black spray paint to give it the black color. It's inconsistent, which can be seen when light hits the heads and the paint dampens the head. This may work for a resonant kick head, but is totally silly to implement this process for a tom head. The other two big head manufacturers use black mylar for their black heads. Not sure what Aquarian is thinking with this design and I'm a huge Aquarian fan. I cannot recommend the Classic Clear "Black" heads at all. I will continue to use Aquarian heads as they sound great and are super durable but I will never order Classic Clear Black heads ever again unless they get real and stop using paint and use an actual black mylar.

Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
Classic Clears are easily the most affordable out of the big 3 single plys out there. Aside from price, why choose Aquarian over the other 2? Well, it depends on your preference. In my experience I've found Aquarian Classic Clears to be similar in resonance but deeper, darker, and posessing a lower fundamental note than both Remo and Evans. Does this mean you can tune lower with them? Well, not necessarily. I've found Remo to be the best at low tunings (low 14" or 16"), Evans to be the best at high pitched tunings (8 and 10" toms), and Aquarians to be good for a fat thick sound on your 12, 13, and 14" toms.
If 'deep' is your thing, Aquarian is the way to go. Their mylar is darker pitched and also seemingly more resonant when tuned just right. You'll get that "wooooom" resonance, if that's your thing.
Evans on the other hand has a high-pitched quality to them. They are very bright (or plastic-y depending on your ear). Remo is clear and bright.
So take your pick. I've found them all to be durable with Evans being the most durable. After a few hours of play on my Classic Clears they are showing some wear. I also have not been able to successfully tune my 14" tom (Pearl Masters Studio BRX) low enough without it 'papering out' on me.

Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
I use this for my reso head, it is great for what it is. I like the feel and sound is improved when used in combination with the Performance II batter head. Love these Aquarian skins.
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
I have them as Resonant heads and they really complement the Performance II Power dots. I ordered the black and they just paint the inside to achieve this. Although you can not tell once they are mounted and they sound better than any thinner resonant head I have used before. The weight of the head is just right.
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
These are stronger than remo's but not for heavy hitters (or people who use big sticks) They are very however sensitive and easy to tune. If you think remo ambassador clears are your favorite try these. They sound better, are more durable, and tune/seat easily. I use them for the 10 and 12 tom (top/bottom). They do not tune low enough on a floor tom for me (personally) but thats only because I like my 14" floor to sound as low as it will allow the Evans EC2 and Remo PS3 are the best floor tom heads if you tune low IMHO. Overall great heads. highly recommend them.
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
I recently changed my top heads to Aquarian response 2 coated heads and could not believe the difference in sound. I replaced the bottom heads with the clasic clear and they compliment the top heads perfectly. They tuned up well and I feel like I have a new drum set. I would not have believed the sound could be so much better, but it is. I'm sold!!!
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
I just slapped these babies on my tom bottoms this morning. They sing with clear, warm tone. The only drawback from the sound is that my toms sound kida dead. But that's only because I have my pinstripes on still. But, when I get my texture coated response 2's they will sound great. Buy it! Great for any style of music. Every aquarian head I've boughten has been straight 10's. I love aquarian.
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
These look awesome in black, as reasonant heads. The black ones, I know, have Aquarians reqular logo, not the cursive classic clear. This is good, looks better, if you're looking at details anyway. I use all aquarian heads. I use these with coated performance II's, which aren't currently available from musician's friend. Perhaps they'll see this and think about it...
Comments about Aquarian Classic Clear Drumhead:
Aquarian Classic Clear drumheads have a nice, bright, open sound when you use the on the resonant side of your toms. Although im not sure of what they sound like on the batter side. But if you do like a more bright, open tom sound, then the best thing to do is probably to use Aquarian Studio-X's on the batter side, and Aquarian Classic Clear's on the resonant side, but that is my opinion. Thank you!
