AquarianTC Super Kick II Drumhead 20 in.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The coated 20-inch version of Aquarian's Super Kick II kick batter. For drummers replacing the head on a standard 20-inch bass drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 20-inch kicks on jazz, gigging, and compact rock kits
- Swapping out a dented head that no longer holds pitch
- Players wanting a controlled kick note straight out of the box
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 18- or 22-inch bass drums — the size has to match exactly
- Anyone needing a resonant front head with a logo or port
- Drummers after a long, open, boomy sustain
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
20 in.
Fits a 20-inch shell only. Measure the drum's diameter; the head size has nothing to do with your old head's brand.
Detail 03
TC — textured coating
Matte surface instead of clear film. Slightly warmer, less glassy attack, and it hides beater scuffing better.
Detail 04
Super Kick II
Aquarian's controlled kick series, built to shorten the note so you need less internal muffling.
Detail 05
Around $69
Mid-tier pricing. A kick batter takes the most abuse on the kit, so it's the head worth spending on.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Head only — no pillow, beater patch, claws, or tension rods included
- 02Measure your shell at 20 inches before ordering; sizes don't stretch
- 03Tune in a star pattern; uneven tension causes wrinkles and lost punch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does TC mean?
Texture Coated — the head has a matte coated surface rather than clear film, which warms the attack slightly and resists visible beater marks.
02Coated or clear — which should I get?
Coated gives a slightly softer, warmer attack and hides beater wear. Clear is a bit brighter and more cutting. Both control the note the same way.
03Will this fit a 22-inch kick?
No. Bass drum heads are cut to a specific shell diameter. A 20-inch head won't reach over a 22-inch drum.
04Do I need to remove the hoop to install it?
Yes. Loosen and remove the tension rods and claws, lift the wood hoop off, swap the head, then retension evenly.
