N.B.: This is a mashup of our 3 ULTIMATE bass drum head comparison videos (Evans comparison has been made in May 2018, Aquarian and Remo in December 2019) hence the slight variation in tempo (and change in clothing, rug or snare etc.) All heads were tuned at the same exact tension. We are grateful that every manufacturer provided their respective heads free of charge to help us make the original videos. Hope this clarifies any misunderstanding!
Kick: Yamaha Absolute Maple Hybrid 22X18"
Performer: Andrew Wyatt
The audio was recorded using a matched pair of AKG C414 for overheads, a AKG D112 inside the bass drum and a AEA R84 outside the bass drum.
The video was filmed using a Canon Eos 70D and a Canon Eos Rebel T3i.
Thank you for watching! - เพลง

I counted 48 different tests here. If, and only assuming a conservative 20 minutes to change and tune each head, that is 16 hours plus whatever time it took to make sure audio and video was ok, etc. A massive amount of work, and truly appreciated. thanks.
Not to mention the money spent on each of these!😳
@@Rockin_RossApproximately 70 euros each 🤣 so it would cost 3360 euros, that's a lot ...
Most underrated comment of all time.
its crazy that the head companies arnt doing these videos themselves, these are how i choose heads now.
@@krusher74 Yes me too 🤣 I'm gonna buy the Aquarian superkick II coated
Man, you will never receive enough thanks for what you've done here. I'm half way thru and hit pause to write this before I go ahead and finish watching. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for the tremendous effort you put into that.
Hi Ludovic, Thank you for the kind words! Worth the effort :)
I'm just here to agree. We all needed this for soo long.
Amazing comparison. Great comprehensive video
Force 1 clear
I landed on this video after doing a search on bass head options. I got only 2 mins into it, this is an epic video. 💯% Agreed!!! I'm rethinking all of my kits now.

Thanks!
Some are missing, but thanks, it helps.
Back in 2003-2005 when I was last playing drums all I had was a local music shop and forums online. Getting back into drumming in 2022 and having this kind of content available is beyond what I would've ever imagined. Thank you so much for these videos.
Same!
@@nicholasbstone Same..... We had none of this back then.
Wow! I've been playing 59 years and never realized how many BD heads there were and how big the differences were! I use Evans Emad with thin muffle ring but I gotta say, the Aquarian Super Kick II around 10:15 won me over! Thanks for this great comparo.
I cannot imagine how long this took to make with all the head changes.... But this was a huge service to the drum community! Thank you! No one has the time or money to try every head to see what they like most, so you solved this for everyone!

This is hero's work. Thank you for these examples and the work you put into this video. This is EXTREMELY helpful. Cheers to you.
I know others have said this already, but the amount of work u put into this is beyond words. Taking each head off, putting a new one on, tuning it, recording yourself to the same beat, repeat 70+ times. Thank u already adding what I need to my shopping list lol
This is the best, no BS, comparison ever.
Great format! Consistent flow...
Nailed it! Excellent work! Thank You.
10:18 My favorite bass drum head. Aquarian Super Kick II
DITTO
@@seansherrod8725 *DITTO USED TRANSFORM*
Agreed!! That’s what I’m running
Wish I had this when I was younger and had no idea what the drum heads would sound like before I would buy them. You have done God’s work❤️🔥🤞🏽
Exactly how a video with this many heads should be. Straight to the point and not a word spoken ✨
There are simply no words to describe how much I appreciate you guys doing this.. -Thank you so much - On top of everything, this is just plain fun to listen to. :) Bless :)
great work! I sat through this whole thing only to confirm what I learned through 30 years of swapping drum heads: Aquarian Super Kicks are all that matters on the bass.
I'm a Remo guy, but that aquarian superkick 1 clear is my favorite!
Used sk1 on my dw collector exotic birch, it brought thunder and you could feel the shock wave feets away. A lot better than my emad2
Yep!
I’m a remo guy too (I don’t like evans cuz I think it’s has a kind of high pitch tone) , but lately I’ve been using force 1 for my 24 kick cuz I can’t find p3 for my kick at that time. And I think it’s really great for its price. So one point to aquarian from remo guy lol.
Just put a set on My gig set. A 22x18 gretsch poplar drum. Man, what a great sound it givea.
No words can describe how valuable this is. Thank you! And, love the rhythm you use for the demonstration. I'm sure this represents weeks of effort to produce.
Excellent production.
Regardless of how much time (hrs) you spent making this, this was 12:30 minutes of educational gold.. IMHO, this is the best Kick/Bass drum head comparison on TH-cam.
I Salute You! Thanks
Thank you for the kind words Brad! We're glad you appreciate the work!
Thank you so much for doing all of these comparisons!
I love this channel, thank you so much for doing these
Surely there's a special place in heaven for you.
Thank you so much for doing this, after watching I will try switch from Emad to Aquarian Super Kick ll or Modern Vintage 2, now that I have a bass drum that sounds really good I think the Emad is choking it out a bit. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
You guys are the best for posting these comparison videos!
Wow, this deserves all the love. Thank u so much for taking the time to do this!
I swear that coated Remo Emperor still held its own! I’m still running a clear Remo PS for 20 years lol. Gonna try an Aquarian Super Kick, sounded really good too!
I have a sk2 and they sound great. They thump
You mean your Bass drum remo head lasts up till to 20 years? 🤔
Just wow! the beat is locked in my head now! Thanks for making this!
Crazy good comparison!!!! Really enjoyed the ENTIRE vid!! Bravo!!!
Great! Thanks for the video!🥁🥁🥁
One of the best and most helpful videos out there.. thanks man!
Damn dude. Just the swap outs and tuning of all these heads. You're the real mvp. Thanks for the awesome test. And pure audio with no mics or effects or anything, super nice to hear the real sound.
Incredible work. I just came across this and you now have a sub for life. Very much appreciated. I can't wait to see what else you've done! Cheers!
soo many good choices out there I'm over whelmed!!! great video!
This is a fantastic demonstration! Thank you for the upload! ...and nice drumming also! Cheers
Just incredible work man! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Perfect!! Thank you so much for your time comparing bass drum skins! Real helpful.
Holy cow !!! That was brilliant ! And very very helpful !!!! Thanks
WOW! This was incredibly useful! This must have taken a ton of time to put together. Thank you!
Thank you for this!! I am now subscribed! Epic video that every aspiring drummer needs to hear.
Top 5 most useful TH-cam videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Just imagine how long this video would be if you did 3 tunings per head lol. Low mid range and high
Thanks for your kind words! Oh boy haha! Took total of 5 days of changing/tuning/playing heads and an extra week to edit the footage ;)
THANK YOU for making this video!!! I know this took hours upon hours to do. Extremely helpful. And no talking too! You guys are awesome
Man, thanks a lot for this comparison video. Amazing!
Thank you for your hard works! Respect! Cheers from Hong Kong!
Ì have to admire the effort that went into making this video! Great job! Thanks for doing it!
Wow thank you so much for this! All the skins you had to put on plus the tuning. Great job! This video can be used as a basis for bass drum sound!
Thx a lot for the service!!! Awsome!!! Greetings from germany Christoph 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for making these videos!
Man I really appreciate this. You put an unbelievable amount of work into this and I thank you very much !!
Prob the most important drummer video out. lol
I remember commenting on the snare head comparison video but, did not on this one. I needed to. Absolutely invaluable. In this field, the most important videos on YT for all players. A tremendous Thank You for all your hard work. And kudos to the player(s) on these. Really cool rhythms.
Now that´s a really fine and detailed comparison, and wouv...SO interesting to hear the differences in the heads....very huge difference in the sound of the plastic and the low ends.
nice combination of demos! thanks!
Wow incredible video. Thanks a ton for this!
Man what effort you put into this. Thanks so much. I gotta go with Remo Powerstroke 3 clear and Aquarian Force 1 Clear. Both sounded amazing.
Wow what a crazy amount of effort making this . . thanks
crazy good video - wow! so many heads ... so little time. :) thanks for putting in the effort here. much appreciated!
Having played a super kick 2 irl, I can say with confidence that it is one of the best sounding bass heads out there, I assume super kick 1 is similar. Highly recommend, great vid 👍
Thanks so much,best drum video for head sounds ever.I put the Evans 360 clear on my 26 inch vista-lite bass and it sounds thunderous. Great job on this video.
this must have taken some time :thanks for the effort
This is so fantastic!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I've got a Super Kick 3 on my kit right now, but I've been wanting something deeper and LOUDER. I've been thru this 3 times already marking down what interests me so I can go back to each one. WOW!!
Thank you for this, nice groove!
Beautiful work ! huge thanks !!
Thank you again. So wonderful. This video really helps.
Wow, I mean just absolutely "WOW"... EXCELLENT JOB!!!
For person who has ADD and traumatic head wound this was the BEST informative bass drum head video that I have ever been able to watch in it's ENTIRETY! Not sure if you've done it already but I'd be really interested to see you do the same thing with other the drums. I've already hit the subscribed option to your channel, thanks again for this.
This is the best version of this type of video that I've ever seen
Good God this is a great video! Kudos to you for the time and energy to make this. It is without a doubt the best drum head comparison I have ever seen. You have answered so many questions I've had and undoubtedly saved me a ton of money. I will definitely be buying from your shop next time I'm in Montreal.
Sure Dennis, come by and we'll be glad to help you!
Great demo! Thank you very much for the time and the effort! My preference is the white coated Emperor.

Doing gods work! We patiently await the video for Tom heads ❤️
Thank you for this! I know this took a ridiculous amount of effort!!
I have been an Aquarian super kick. And after this demonstration. Still am!!! Love it!👍🏻👍🏻
Geez man you must be sick of that beat. But hey, thanks for the valuable info on these bass heads. Your effort gets an A+. Doing the lord's work.
Best video on TH-cam!!! Thx a lot!
GREAT VIDEO. THIS IS SOOO USEFUL
Incredibly helpful video!!
This was probably the most concise demonstration of kickdrum heads I've seen. The top three manufacturers were represented, in an equal play pattern. I was very surprised by Evans' EMAD Calftone. Deep punch, yet still defined enough to translate fast footwork with musical precision. Thanks for posting!
Amazing! Thank so much for this comparison video! I’ll go for The clean superkick ii.
This is truly, amazingly insightful.
Thank you for doing this and helping me in my Kick Drum Batter Head Selections!
Their are some Killer Heads here!
Thanks so much for your Efforts and posting this.
Bruuuuhhhhhhhh you did the best comparison ever thank you so much!!!! This is how you test a bass head no mic inside or near just a room sound
Thank you, this (I am sure!) was a lot of work - VERY helpful, and very much appreciated!
Fantastic video!
Cheers
Wow that's solid and amazing.
Te mereces muchos likes por tu gran tiempo y esfuerzo que buen material 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've been using Clear Powerstroke 3s for 13 years. This video made it clear, theres no need for a change.
That’s my top choice.
And with internal muffling they shine.
Try the ps3 Black dot
Wow it lasts up till 13years..i think it because you always play soft n light, sure it cause last for years.
@@mohddalibinzali1165 I meant I've been using Powerstroke 3 heads in general, not the same head for 13 years
nice job. incredibly useful.
thanks
awesome video! Thank you so much for posting. This really helped me. You must have a ton of patience to change bass drum heads this many times!
Remo guy here.
Clear/Coated Pinstripe is my default choice. These days I really enjoy Coated Vintage Emperor and Clear Powersonic!
And of course Aquarian’s Super Kicks are absolute classics too
I bought the super kick 10 based on this video review love the sound
Thanks guys
thank you for doing this!!
incredible works!
This is a great video and a lot of hard work went into it as everyone said. Amazing to have figured out a groove that demonstrates the sound without getting tiresome after so many repetitions. The only thing that trips me up is, when they switch to the other snare, I always go "whoa which kick head is that?? That sounds awesome!!"
I liked this video, alot. I am glad after hearing all of those i still like my current head choice the best (aquarian super kick 1 with regulator reso) on both my 20x8 and 22x16 basses.
Thankyou so much for this!!!!
Great comparison to consider! It made my foot and leg tired just watching and listening to all the different heads. 🥵
I really apreciate your work and willing to share this sounds for everyone who wants to know all the kind of quality of sound from several drumheads
You have a lot of patience dude ! Good job and helping all drummers of all levels.
Great job! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for posting this
Thanks to this video I changed out my bass drum head with an Aquarian Super Kick II. I also ordered an Evans Blue UV coated Hydraulic. I will also be ordering an Evans EQ4 clear and EMAD 2.
Meine Güte, war das eine Leistung 👍👍👏👏Was für eine Arbeit, jedesmal Fell wechseln, stimmen und spielen ! Das muss Stunden gedauert haben, dies aufzunehmen !!!! 1000 DANK !
Great video. So many great sounds from all three manufacturers. I guess it depends on what sort of sound you’re looking for. In most cases drummers want a fat bottom end. The only exception is jazz, where the kick is used completely differently to the rest.
