Like your old standby, the Aquarian Hi-Energy snare drum head starts with a single ply of 10-mil film. But bonded to its entire surface is a super-fine layer of Aquarian's Power Dot material to gently control overring, plus a center reverse Power Dot for added reinforcement. These enhancements go the extra mile to prolong the life of your head and deter overtones. The result is an easy-miking snare head that retains the natural qualities of your drum but boasts a crisp, controlled crack and a full low end. Sweetwater drummers particularly like the Aquarian Hi-Energy head for steel and brass snares, and especially recommend this head to rock drummers who prefer a consistent backbeat over a wide range of dynamic control.
