sweet man! i just got this head for my 8 piece pearl vision. Best bass head man!! what song is playing??

[GeorgesMusic]

@shockwave2468 Glad you dig it! The song is an original composition and recording from Eric Lacovara in the purchasing department here at George's Music. He also does a lot of the gear videos we post and is an excellent guitar player!

[shockwave2468]

@GeorgesMusic man. how can i get a cd?

[GeorgesMusic]

@shockwave2468 Check out Eric's current band Blind Ugly Chicken on MySpace. You can contact him there and he'd be happy get a CD out to you.

is hidraulic?

[GeorgesMusic]

@deathdrummerwild No. Just two ply.

I don't think this is a very accurate demo. Most people have a reso head on their bass and taking that away doesn"t give an accurate comparison. Besides, that powerstroke head also has a dampening ring and has very little to no overtones.

[cole2paul]

I agree. I also would like him to clarify what a "normal" bass drum head is. Does he mean stock or what? Because that definitely looks like a pinstripe to me.

[Mirozenx]

would you reccomend this or the emad?

[youdave777]

the problem IS - these guys don't know to how to record videos! sorry, that's the fact. you're IN a music store, put a MIC on the drum! a good mic! don't rely on the audio from your cheap video-cam!

- in this clip the aquarian sounds like a freebie bass drum .wav file for sampling. or just plain weak. TRUST me though, this IS a great drum-head! with just one good mic it sounds like a million bucks in my studio! a great head, but these days i actually prefer the aquarian force 1 clear.

what a dog-shit review

[AxuDrum]

That first one aint just a normal head... Its a powerstroke 3..

[UltraPercussion]

Aquarian super kick I is as good as the second gen but it plays jazz too. That super kick II is nice.

[luvya325]

I have a question? So im thinking of buying these heads but my question is there are 2 heads rite so that means 1 for each side? Or wat haha i kno it might sound stupid but i am confused lol (:

[TheStrainers]

@TheStrainers and dont forget the kick pad its the best, better than evans and remo, those patchs suck i go through them, never went through a kick pad,dont forget, the kick pad is super sticky, once its on its on for ever.

[TheStrainers]

spk2s are the best bass drum heads period ,for live and recording.you put nothing in the drum and tune it up and pow. i just put on a ps3 and it is good but i am going to need some kind of extra muff to get it as punchy as the super 2s.

[TheOthersDrummer]

Those two heads sound almost exactly the same

[NotableJInx2]

god take that music off, it makes me puke !
