Kick drum perfection

Fantastic head. Sounds and feels amazing! If you like pre muffled kick heads, then the Remo SMT heads should be on the top of your list to try. Highly recommended!

It's soooo difficult to say there's a better head than Evans

It's soooo difficult to say there's a better head than Evans, but Aquarian seems to be a longer lasting choice. Tuning is ridiculously easy which I assume is because of the beefy hoops. They're definitely something worthy of consideration

Gibraltar drum hoop.

I needed to replace a hoop thatwas stronger than the previous one, and could mount a mic with ease.

Built like a battleship

Like all Sonor hardware, it's built like a battleship. I bought 2 of these to use with my new Sonor double bass kit, so I could have 1 crash cymbal on each bass drum and the twin toms on a double stand in between. Basic old-school Ginger Baker setup. It looks fantastic and everything is rock solid.
