A snare head you don't have to tape up to sound good!

Full and articulate sound, with no unwanted ring. Texture-coated head has a unique vented muffling ring tucked into the hoop on the underneath side of the head. Sensitive snare response. Satin finish texture coating is very versatile, sounds great with sticks or brushes.

Features:

The Aquarian Focus X batter head gave my already powerful COB Rogers Dyna-Sonic snare even more power without that anoying ring. I'll be trying out more Aquarian heads on my Rogers toms, Top of the line product. Not one mark on the tough coating.

Go To Drumhead for Snare

| Review By: Steven Scheifley | 10 months, 6 days ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

The Aquarian Focus-X Texture-Coated drumhead is my go to drumhead for snare.  The vented ring underneath takes out just enough over-ring to make it work wonders in the studio, but it equally sings out in live situations as well.  No more need for rings that fly off or moongel that can eventually buzz or the dreaded duct tape which ruins heads!  And this head is very durable, tunes easily, has great tone and lasts a long time.  I've yet to break an Aquarian Texture-Coated Focus-X snare head.  Then again, I'm not really a heavy hitter.  I use Vic Firth 5A and their AJ3, AJ4 and AJ5 sticks.  Now Aquarian does have a power dot version of this drumhead for those who like to pummel their drums into submission.  But for me, these heads are perfect.  I used to play Remo Ambassadors and Evans GI coated heads, but Aquarians to me just work better.  One more point to mention.  Last year, I had ordered a thin snare bottom head, and it got damaged from shipping.  So I called Aquarian about this, and I was transferred directly to Roy Burns himself who was extremely nice, and he had Aquarian send out a brand new snare bottom head at no charge.  Most times, I'm placed on hold forever and deal with people whose job it is to be rude or to say no, but that's not the case with Aquarian.  They treat their customers right.

read good reviews on it, only thing my local shop had so i picked it up. had it about 2 weeks total. popped it on, tuned/tightened it up and it sounded awful. completely dry, just sounds like you're hitting a rug. absolutely no body behind it. played my first gig with it, and i like to think i don't hit too heavy, but by the end of the show there were too many dents on the head to count. it never stayed in tune the entire time i owned it and it was destroyed after gig 1. terribly disappointed.

The sweetspot between too much ring and dead.

Overall:
I've been using this head for about two months.  I have a pretty aggressive style, and had previously only used two-ply drum heads.  I was worried about the head popping quickly based on past experience w/ one-ply heads, but so far it is holding up admirably.  I only took .5 off the quality score because the coating began to chip after my bassist started slamming on it.  Case in point: If you play like an ape and really lay into your heads (aka bad technique), this might not be the head for you.  But if your technique is good, it's perfect; a very durable head. Sound wise, it is equally impressive.  It has a bright, one-ply sound, but the vented muffle ring on inside of the head takes care of 90% of the hi-end ring.  It's the perfect head.  Thanks Aquarian! :)
