22" Aquarian Small Off-Set Port Resonant - White

Product Description

The Aquarian Small Off-Set Port Resonant is a white resonant (bottom) head for bass drum, fitted with a small off-set port hole. The hole makes it easier to place a microphone or trigger close to the batter head without losing the fullness a fully closed resonant head provides. A good choice if you want control over the sound without going fully open.

An off-set ported resonant head sits between a fully closed head and one with a large centered port in terms of how much air escapes the drum. The smaller, off-set opening preserves more of the fundamental tone and low-end fullness than a large centered hole would, while still giving easy access for close-miking the bass drum in the studio or on stage.

What the port does to the sound

Compared to a completely closed resonant head, the small opening gives a slightly drier, more controlled tone with less sustain – without making the bass drum thin or lacking body. The head acts as the resonant side and is paired with a batter head of choice on the opposite side of the drum.

Who It's For

Suited for players who want to mic the bass drum from inside without switching to a fully open head, while still keeping a full, cohesive fundamental tone.
