These toms sound absolutely beautiful!
Yes they do!!!
Same heads Nick Menza used on his Tama RockStars on his Countdown to Extinction tour 1992 with Megadeth. They made his toms, bass drum, and snare drum sound like cannons going off absolutely beautiful sounding! Also it is the sound I am going for! Thanks for the vid man drums sounds good. I will buy them sometime soon!
Hey Caleb!!! You are absolutely right... this heads have a unique clarity and tone to them, gorgeous!!! As you said, makes the drum set sound like a cannon and a beautifull sounding instrument... Enjoy your new set of Studio X heads!!! Feel free to share this video!
thejavi777 I will thank you!
some of the best sounding toms i've heard!
Thanks my friend!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man!!! Perfection.❤
love them toms!!
Greg Williams Glad you like it!!
Awesome tom sounds!
Thank you Andy!
You could've put plastic wrap over those drums, and they would've sounded killer. And, those sound like the old-school recording customs, too. I still have mine from '92. And, even with the old style tom mounts they sound amazing. You did Aquarian a big favor with this demo. These sound amazing. Well done!
They do sound amazing! My favorite drumset! Thnk you Phill!
@@javiapontenashville Yup…I finally broke down and picked up a set of the Absolute Hybrid Maple (just got them last week), which sound absolutely stunning, btw. But, I got them to compliment my Hot Red RC’s (they need the bearing edges re-cut, at this point). Call me crazy, but I just prefer the sound of the original RC’s. Yes, they are more subdued, but they sound warmer, as well, IMO. This video with that head combination really showed that off. Was fun to watch. Not many videos of original RC’s out there these days. I’m glad I found your channel.
Drums sound great and so is the playing.
Thank you Mike!! Glad you like the sound! 🙏🏻
I like these studio X heads.
i love so much those drumheads Aquarian,,,,
Hey Alain! They are simply the best stuff!!!
Runnin some Response 2’s over a Modern Vintage Medium Reso head. Nice and warm!!

Demonic Sweaters Glad you like it! Please feel free to share this video and explore others here in my channel! Cheers!!!

Francisco Alvillar Man that’s awesome! Glad you like the sound and of course, happy to konow you use the best drumheads!! Please feel free to share and explore other videos here in my channel!
Excellent, excellent drummer. Great sounding drums too.
You could play anything and sound great on it.
danlc95 Thank you brother!!!
I have a custom made, 13x6.5 maple snare. I was at a guitar center in Nashville to get a Evans snare head. the sale man talked me into trying the aquarian studio X OMG it totally changed my snare sound to the sound I've been searching forever! wish i could thank that guy at guitar center! every drummer who's heard my snare live, asked me if i would sale my snare drum! I just laugh and say NO
YEAH!!!
That 10" tom really sings!
Yesss!! ❤
just got a 10 inch and 14 inch for my Pearl roadshow kit! these sound badass af!
My favorite drumheads
Wise man!
Sounds pretty damn good
Bobby Chappell Thank you!!!
damn, sounds really good.
Thank you Brandon!!!
Yamaha Drums... i love !!
Yeah!!!
This is awesome. I just got some new Coated Super 2s and I was wondering what the next tom head I might get would be. These actually sound amazing.
Hey brother!!! Man glad you like them! The Super 2s are awesome... Everything that's Aquarian Drumheads is awesome!!
WOW i gotta try these on my 80s yamaha RCS
Yes you do!!!! You won't regret it!!
Nice thx for actually playing them!
Killer drum sound. That kick........heaven
Glad you like it!! Share it if you like... Thanks!
@@javiapontenashville hows the longevity of the tom heads? Im a pretty hard hitter....
nalleydrummer they are pretty good at it. I’m a pretty heavy hitter and these have lasted quite long time.
@@nalleydrummer that head is also available with a power dot for harder hitters.
Bravo!
Thank you!!!!
What's your recording setup looking like? I'm impressed with your sound. Way better than the empty/thin sounding kits I'm hearing all over RUclips. Great job and great showcasing these heads. I got the Performance II's coming to me soon but when those wear out, I'll probably go for these. Good work man. 👍
Thank you David for those kind words...
Starclassic kit with the aluminum SLP? Freaking mean sounding!
Absolutely agree bro!!! And with these heads it most sound crazy beautiful!
What a amazing sound does that studio x produce. I love the sound since first time i hear it on a PDP. Totally change the sound of that PDP. I immediately put on mime. It has a peculiar sound even mic and live. Awesome! The question is, I don't know if you had have the opportunity to listen the Evans genera dry for the snare, from Aquarian, which snare head do you recommend me to my snare? Something similar I mean, very dry and low pitch. Thanks! Great vid!
Well, first of all, thank you for the kind words... glad you like Aquarian Drumheads, they are simply the best drumheads period! In regards the snare drum head, it all depends on the kind of snare drum you're talking about. Not all the drumheads react equally to a snare drum and less likely to be from another brand. A comparable snare drumhead for the one you just mentioned would be the Triple Thread, a very dense drumhead that projects very well in hi and low tuning as well. It also has a great feeling to it and is very versatile. Hope this helps...
ok, thanks!
I used to use the Genera Dry in the 90s.
If I had to recommend a substitute from Aquarian based on what I've used, it would be the Focus X. I haven't used the Triple Threat yet, though.
Duh,I just read the description.
The Tom's sound Fuller than most of everything on yt
Glad you liked it Anthony!!! Feel free to share this video man!!
Do a demo with the white dot studio x!! ;)
That's a great suggestion! Will do!! Just did one with the Texture Coated... Hope you check it out and enjoy it!
Javiar,we r FB friends! I gotta tell you I never really used Aquarian heads other than the Super Kick but this video may have just changed my mind! Would love to hear the drums without the mics.
Hey Charlie!! I think I have some vids here in RUclips without mics. Althou what you heard in this video was only mic placement, a little bit of room and good tuning... Glad you liked it!!!!
AWESOME!!! Thanks bro!
yes it's the best sound on RUclips
Wow, these sound great! I’m curious though what heads you are using here on the bottom resonant side?
Hy Greg!! I always use Classic Clear heads on the bottom resonant side
I assumed so but just wanted to ask to find out for sure. Thanks Javier!
@@gtdrummer6429 No problem Greg! Feel free to share it and THANKS!!!
what did you use for your snare to sound like that? I have two 8 piece Pearl export series and a Roland V-Drums V-pro Series TD 30 kV I can't even get mine to sound like that.
Wow Jordan!! That's pretty cool gear man! I think it just has to do with the mic placement, the type of snare drum and the tuning. Obviously the type of drumhead plays a big deal of matter too... The snare drum is a solid ply maple shell and it's tuned mid-high for a nice crack but keeping a nice amount of natural tone of the drum... THANK YOU JORDAN!!!
+thejavi777 okay thanks!!
Hi, Could you please tell which mic brands and placement are you using? thanks :)
The mics are Shure Beta series. As far as the mic placement there's not to much I can say other than the standard positioning. The mics looking towards the center of the drum where the stick makes contact with the head and in the case of the kick, the mic is placed in front of it...
So what kind of Aquarian snare head are you using? And how are you tuning the toms, top and bottom? Great sounding drums btw!!!!
Hi Brenda!!! Thanks for your kind words! i'm using a Focux X Coated on the snare drum and a Classic Clear snare side on bottom. In terms of tuning, I do the following: I use the DrumDial for the bottom head and tune each tension rod to the same amount of tension with it... For the top head I tune all the rods as low as I can go without wrinkles showing in the head. Then I identify which one is the lowest with the DrumDial and start tuning the rest of the rods by that lowest pressure. Ussually ends up with the top head one to one and a half step lower than the bottom head. Hope this helps you! Good luck and happy drumming!!
Thanks! This does help!!
Super!!!!
@@javiapontenashville you should try a tunebot, i love mine. then you would know top and bottom head frequencies and the fundamental frequency of the whole drum
just beautiful brother! do they make these in a double ply? im a rock/metal player...i need that extra shield of durability!
Rob Kenyon Glad you like it brother!! You should check out the Response-2 and Performance-2 Series... These two lines are serious sounding double ply heads, I’m sure you’ll like them.
You could also check out the Clear Super 2 w/ X Ring (MSR2__). They're a two ply head (5mil top ply, 7mil bottom ply), and have the same Studio X ring featured on the single ply models on that two ply head.
Roy Burns sent me out a set for my lesson kit way back in the mid 2000s, when they were released. I stopped teaching there in 2007 and they're STILL on that set and sound great!
The Studio X is my favorite tom head, but I'll be experimenting more with the Super 2 w/ X Ring more in the future.
Does anyone know if aquarium offers a coated version of these drum heads?
They do… Enter aquariandrumheads.com abd you’ll find all the models available.
What are your shells made of maple, birch, oak?
Birch, this drumset is a Yamaha Recording Custom from the late 80's... 1989 to be exact!
Could I get someone's opinion on these heads vs. The Response 2 coated black?
Adam Kemper Thanks for watching!!! This heads are one ply and they are clear as you can see in the video, which makes them brighter and thinner than the R2 Black which are 2 ply heads plus the black coating. The Response is darker and more fat sounding head with a lot of attack to it, very precise on the tone and versatile as well. Hope this will help you in something... Cheers and thanks again!
thejavi777 Thanks for the info, I'll probably go with the Response 2 heads then.
Just put a set of these on my Mapex Saturn V kit... singing!!!!!! Are your drums oak?
James Adams This set up is Birch.
Bass drum have a Super kick 2 or 1?
J A Super Kick One 💪🏻
snare sounds great as well- what head is on it , anyone know?
It’s a Focused X Coated on top, mid tuning.
@@javiapontenashville SWEET
Thinking about getting the studio x coateds for my pearl roadshow set.
What is the sound difference between these and the focus x?
Dat Boy The Focus X tends to be a more focused and a bit dryer sound because of the dot in the center. Besides that, both are great heads.
@@javiapontenashville thank you! I am looking for something that would be in the middle of the classic clear and performance 2 heads sonically speaking. The classic clears wold go on my 8" and 10" and the performance 2's would go on my 16" and 18". I want something with a medium amount of sustain. What would you recommend? Also what are the Studio X with Power dots like?
Dat Boy Have you tried the Super 2 or the Response 2 models? I recommend that you give these two lines a try... You won’t regret it!
What was all that tom’s head?
Sogzo Ear hope you are doing fine! The heads in all toms are Studio X Clear by Aquarian Drumheads... From the 10” all the way to the 16” floor tom. The kick drums has a Super Kick for batter. Hope this helps.
The question Is: studio x or powerstroke 3 on Tom ?
Studio X Rob! All the way!
@@javiapontenashville Thanks. Have you tried both? Why Studio x are better than Powerstroke 3 on Tom ?
Hey Rob! Yes, I’ve tried both and the reason why I like the Studio X more than the PS3 is the fact that I find the Studio X easier to tune, easier to control, much better sound results and better feel. For my style of playing and taste, I prefer the Aquarians. I do not think one is better than the other, I believe it’s all about preferences and taste.
@@javiapontenashville Ps3 muffle more the sound or just the same?
Well... In my experience the Studio X has more volume and projection. I feel that the powerstroke is more focused to the sound and contolled. That could be felt like it’s more muffled than the Studio X, but at the end of the tunnel it’s just a matter of taste. What you prefer in your sound! That’s the beauty of it!!!
I bet these would make good reso heads especially on floor toms
Hey! Finding out would be a fun project… No doubt about it, they would make the floor toms sound huge!
Hmm. I tried something new I'll record it
E😮😮😮😮
The snare wires are too noisy
You're probably right amp... I heard it OK but it's just a matter of preferences I think. Thanks for your comment!!!
Aquarians are excellent drumheads. However I understand everybody has different tuning methods or styles, I never could stand to hear drum heads so low that sound like you beating on paper.snare sounds great though
i dont like that slack sound either, but i'm not hearing that here at all
So much snare rattle
Sorry about that... Sympathetic buzz.
@@javiapontenashville drums sound amazing but im ocd when it comes to snare buzz
jim bob hahah! I completely uderstand...!
They sound terrible... I guess its all in what you like. Personally I enjoy some tone... That way I can tell my 8in tom from my 10in tom. His snare has a better tom sound lol
