Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from a Classic Clear in the same size?
Performance II is Aquarian's two-ply head. It gives more durability and a shorter, more controlled note. The Classic Clear is more open with longer sustain.
02Will it last longer than a single-ply head?
Two plies give more material under the stick, so yes for hard hitters. Denting and stretching take longer to show.
03Do I still need moongel or tape?
Usually less. The second ply cuts overtones on its own, so many drummers run these with no added muffling.
04Is this a batter or resonant head?
It is built as a batter head — the two-ply construction is for stick contact. Resonant sides usually take a thinner single-ply head.
