I use the vintage heads by Aquarian on my 1977 Slingerland drums and love them, greg

Hi Dave, Glad all is coming together for you, and that things are looking up. keep us posted.

As far as the Aquarian Modern Vintage Heads go, I think they're crap, and I personally can't stand them. While they do appear to be better made, and of very high quality appearance wise, in comparison to Evans, and Remo, every head I ever bought all sounded like wet cardboard to me. And I also didn't like the stick feel of them neither. Of course other's mileage may vary, but I've heard this a lot about Aquarian Heads from others.

Essentially, I have a few boxes of 14's lying around here, and they'll never go back on any of my drums.

For me it will always be the Remo Diplomat Diplomat-M-5, Remo Ambassador, or Evans G-1.

Dave/All I should've elaborated a bit further, in that I never liked the Modern Vintage Head on any of my Snares. After not liking them on my Snares, I never felt the need to go any further with these on any of my other drums (Toms/etc)

For my snares it will always be the Evans G-1, Diplomat, and preferably the Diplomat M-5, but these are a real SOB to get lately.

The thinner, and livelier a head is, the better I like it.

I reckon it all depends on personal taste, the sounds you are looking for, and the style you play/like to play. As long as you like the head, that's all that counts! Mark
