The Aquarian Studio-X Texture Coated drumhead is made with a single ply of coated 10mil film, and a control ring adhered to the underside. This head is a nice balance between sensitivity and control. The Aquarian Studio-X is a great choice if you want to reduce ringing overtones… The sound is more focused than an undampened single ply drumhead, thanks to the control ring. Overall the sound is pushed towards the mid-range and low-end, and there is still a nice amount of sustain and good sensitivity.
