Aquarian Super Kick III Black Drum Head - 18 in.

The Aquarian Super Kick III is a coated, single-ply, medium-weight, ebony bass drum head with a power dot in the center for added reinforcement. The Super Kick III bass drum head produces a low-end, well-defined punchy sound due to Aquarian's patented Floating Muffling System, which is a narrow felt muffle ring attached to the backside of the drum head.Safe-T-Loc HoopThis hoop system prevents slippage inside the hoop so that the head does not detune during a performance and will not pull out. Tuning is consistent and the head stays in tune.Sound Curve Collar DesignThis design allows the Aquarian drum head to seat perfectly on the bearing edge. No wrinkles even with loose tuning. It conforms instantly to any shell design and makes tuning fast, easy and more accurate.Triple Locking SystemThis unique system provides drummers with previously unheard of advantages in resonance and playability. First, holes are punched in the bottom of a U-shaped channel, which has been formed in the drum head. These holes allow the epoxy to flow into the "Safe-T-Loc" channel. Second, the "T-Ribs" that form the Safe-T-Loc channel prevent the epoxy and the drum head, from slipping and pulling away from the hoop. Lastly, the Locking Shoulder acts as a "stop" to ensure the correct collar height for the drum head.
