We're testing a set of Aquarian Super-2 Clear skins. [ Ссылка ]

Aquarian Super-2 Clear is a series of see-through, double ply drumheads. The distributor has sent us a set of skins in the following sizes: 10", 12", 14" plus and additional 14" Aquarian Texture Coated to put on the snare, which comes with the pack.
The drum kit we put the heads on was a MES Midas Studio (birch/maple shells), a Natal Arcadia Steel 14"x8" snare, as well as Aquarian Classic Clears as resonance skins. The toms and the snare drum were tuned with the help of the Tune Bot device, and in the following fashion:
10" tom - high tuning, pitch D#
12" tom - high tuning, pitch C
14" tom - high tuning, pitch G#
14" snare - high tuning, pitch A

10" tom - medium tuning, pitch C
12" tom - medium tuning, pitch A
14" tom - medium tuning, pitch F
14" snare - medium tuning, pitch G

10" tom - low tuning, pitch A
12" tom - low tuning, pitch F#
14" tom - low tuning, pitch D
14" snare - low tuning, pitch E.
