Aquarian Drum Kit Tools (t-Tab)
Aquarian t-Tabs are like little bandages for your drum kit! Sticking one or more of these 10-mil adhesive patches on a drumhead helps damp unwanted overtones, focus attack, and deepen tone – all of which work well for close-miking. Even better, Aquarian t-Tabs are reusable and store in a plastic sheet that hangs around a lug screw to keep them clean and close by between applications.
Features:
- Damps overtones, focuses attack
- Great for close-miking toms/snares onstage and in the studio
- 3 coated and 2 clear strips
- Made from 10-mil plastic – the same thickness as a single-ply snare head
- Reusable – encourages experimentation
- Meant to be played on, unlike other muffling tools
- Slight radius conforms to the edge of a drum
- Included storage sheet keeps t-Tabs clean and close by between applications
The Aquarian Difference
Incorporated into all Aquarian heads is a patented 360-degree Safe-T-Loc™ Hoop that eliminates slippage and detuning. The Aquarian Hoop makes it virtually impossible for a head to pull out or pucker, resulting in more consistent tuning with increased resonance.
Aquarian’s exclusive multi-ply vacuum tunning process helps reduce tone killing air pockets and dead spots by removing more of the air caught between plies. The result is a 2 ply head that is more responsive and resonant. The thickness of the drumhead film is a determining factor in how fast the head will vibrate. The thinner the material, the faster it vibrates, producing higher frequencies and more noticeable overtones. Thicker drumhead film generates lower relative frequencies. All of our heads are made exclusively from Aquarian’s ultra-responsive 3,5,7 and 10mil thick NuBRITE drumhead film.
The number of plies used to make a drumhead will affect the response and the timbre of a drum. Combining more plies together adds more mass resulting in fewer overtones that adds warmth, focus, and durability. Aquarian heads come in One, Two, Three, and Hybrid ply combination models.
