I bought modern vintage drumheads for my kit because of this video. I really like the sound and my drummer friends as well... That was the perfect choice!
I had texture coated heads on my batter sides as well, but I’ve since replaced them with Modern Vintage...I ended up putting the textured heads on the reso side(s) and I’m really enjoying the sound & feel a lot🥁🔨
I like how you demo these heads wide open. Other demo videos sometimes muffle the life out of the heads and you can not hear the sound signature of the heads, nor the drums. By the way.... nice rhythmic playing!
I was on the edge between these and the Evans calftones (I know they are thinner, I think) but this video just sold me on the Aquarians. I have an old 60s Gretsch with 13" and 16" toms. (20" kick though, but still sounds huge). I think I will put a Calftone EQ4 on the kick though... but the toms will likely be these. I currently have Fiberskyns and they are OK, but I'm not thrilled. Just a tad thick.
It's often the case in these videos that we don't get enough information. Are there heads the 10 mil or 7 mil? What are the bottom heads? Vintage? 10 mil or 7 mil? Did they use a tuning device or not? What are the pitches of the top and bottom heads when you muffle one of them and tap the other? Is the bottom head higher, lower, or the same pitch? Without this kind of information these videos are not that useful.
I'd like to hear them unmiked without all the EQ....I put them on my kit, and very dead, thud sounding..tried using a Drum Dial to equal the lug settings, but still not right...
Make sure you have a clear head on the resonant side that's cranked up, then get the top heads how you like them. Haven't tried these heads, so just a thought. Wonder if they're anything like Remo Vintage Emporers.

Gorgeous Ludwig kit my friend, I love it! Those head sounds really great too, thanks for posting!
I’ve got Aquarian texture coated on my dw design series. I like them,but I’m considering these.

The kit with those heads sounds very good. I am curious what you are using on the reso side?

So how do you like them? I'm in the same boat, Calftone vs Mod Vint. Med.
I want to just keep listening to the first drumming bit
Can I ask what reso skins you have on the toms?

what are the bottom heads
What is the reso on the bass drum?
Yeah, this

+PapaG Cortellino Don't tune based on a dial. All in the ears!

@@HaloAdmiral The dial is a wonderful tool and accurately measures head tension. Also can be used to diagnose shell/hoop problems.
