Description

Dual-Ply Strength Meets Vintage Tone

Built with two plies of 10mil film, the Deep Vintage II offers a heavy-duty construction that enhances low-frequency response while withstanding the demands of hard playing. The slightly thicker Vintage Coating slows head vibration, producing a warmer, rounder tone with a soft feelโ€”evoking the sound and touch of traditional calfskin heads.

Superkick Floating Muffle Ring: Built-In Low-End Control

Incorporated into the Deep Vintage II bass drum models, the patented Superkick Floating Muffle Ring controls overtones and enhances definition without choking the drumโ€™s natural resonance. This integrated muffling system adds punch, clarity, and a focused low endโ€”perfect for live and studio situations where a big, controlled bass tone is essential.

Vacuum Molding Process: Maximum Resonance, Zero Dead Spots


Aquarianโ€™s exclusive Vacuum Molding Process eliminates โ€œdead airโ€ between plies, ensuring superior bonding and resonance. This process also adds structural integrity to the head, making it one of the heaviest and most durable vintage-style heads in Aquarianโ€™s lineup.

Why Choose the Aquarian Deep Vintage II?

Whether youโ€™re looking to warm up your toms or get a big, punchy bass tone without external muffling, the Deep Vintage II offers a perfect blend of vintage sound and modern performance. With its organic feel, focused response, and built-in Superkick control for bass drums, itโ€™s the ideal choice for drummers who value tone, durability, and classic character.

Bring the past into the presentโ€”rich, low, and unmistakably musicalโ€”with the Aquarian Deep Vintage II Drumhead.
