The Z-100 coating is the thinnest and most durable coating ever developed. Unlike conventional coatings, it resists chipping and it lasts and lasts and lasts. . . Aquarian “Safe-T-Loc”™ hoop, combined with our “Sound Curve” collar design provides for easy tuning, great stick response and zero slippage inside the hoop. . . Aquarian's Texture Coated heads offer a consistent sound, increased resonance and a sensitivity that drummers expect from a traditional sounding drumhead.
