Aquarian Focus-X Drumhead for Controlled Tone, Fat Toms, and Articulate Snare Response
The Aquarian Focus-X Series is a clear, 10mil single-ply drumhead designed for players who want built-in tone control without adding external muffling. Its vented muffling ring is tucked into the hoop underneath the head, helping reduce unwanted ring while keeping the drum’s natural response intact. On tom-toms, the Focus-X delivers a fat, controlled tone with a focused attack. On snare drums, it provides a sensitive and articulate response, making it a versatile choice for drummers who need clean definition and controlled sustain. Because the muffling is built directly into the head, the Focus-X is especially useful for close-up miking in live performance or studio recording. It is also available in a coated reverse Power Dot version for players who want even more focus, durability, and control.Key Features
