TRANSCRIPT

THE AQUARIAN STORYIn 1980, Roy Burns and Ron Marquez pooled their considerable experience (a total of 70 years at

the time) to start AQUARIAN ACCESSORIES.

Roy was famous as a big band drummer in his early twenties performing with legendaries BennyGoodman, Lionel Hampton and Woody Herman. In the sixties he concentrated on studio work in NewYork City. He played a number of top TV shows such as the Tonight Show as well as numerous TV and radiocommercials. He also led his own jazz group and performed regularly at famous clubs like the Metropole and Birdland.

Ron, in his early years, was a systems analyst and manufacturing plant manager for the telephone company insouthern California. Later on, he ran various manufacturing plants. In 1974, he started his own company specializing inthe application of electro-static coatings. At this time, most protective metal finishes were solvent based. Even thoughelectro-static powder coating was the preferred metal finish in Europe, it was not well known in the U.S. Ron helped topioneer “powder coating” in the U.S., performing work for giant companies like Fender and Rogers Drums.

Meanwhile, Roy was touring the world as the first full time Artist-Clinician in the music industry. Hisbackground as a famous drummer, teacher, author and studio musician made him an ideal teacher/performer.In many instances, a “Roy Burns” Clinic was the first one attended by young drummers in the U.S. and a greatmany foreign countries. Roy actually “set the standard” for today’s drum clinicians. During the same period,literally thousands of drummers were reading his now famous "Concepts" column in Modern DrummerMagazine, which ran an unprecedented 12 years.

Around the same time, Ron expanded his electro-static coating business into manufacturingmotocross and bicycle accessories. He became one of the biggest suppliers of "handle bars"in unique colors to several major bicycle manufacturers in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Roy was much in demand as a clinician and his drum books were sellingat an all time high. His Elementary Drum Method and One Surface Learning are considered“classics”. Along with his heavy clinic schedule, Roy found time to be the “house drummer”for the Monterey Jazz Festival for nine years, backing some of the greatest names in jazz andblues.

With Roy’s experience in drumming and Ron’s high-tech background in manufacturing,AQUARIAN introduced a number of innovative and patented products plus a unique scientificapproach to manufacturing. The first product was the Cymbal Spring, followed by the X-10 Graphite Drumsticks.Ultimately, AQUARIAN DRUMHEADS were born and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Safe-T-Loc™ patented hoop prevented de-tuning and “pull outs”. This was an industry first. The “SoundCurve”™ collar design allowed the head to seat automatically, which greatly reduced tuning problems. Anotherindustry first. The Hi-Energy™ snare drumhead for heavy players combined true snare response and great durability.Another breakthrough by Ron. Roy, at the same time, developed the “Tap Test”™ to help drummers in selectingdrumheads. Also, an industry first. However, Ron and Roy shocked the drumming community with the introductionof the Super-Kick™ bass drumheads which received both a comprehensive and specific patent. The Super-Kick™ bassdrumheads have been described as "often imitated but never equaled". “Nothing sounds like a Super-Kick”, sayAQUARIAN endorsers.

Roy’s experience in music and drumming combined with Ron’s extensive engineering and manufacturingbackground has built an innovative company dedicated to helping drummers play music. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

With Aquarian's “Sound Curve”™ collar design, the bearing edgefinds its own spot in the curve. No wrinkles even with loose tuning.Aquarian drumheads tune fast and easy...every time!

Due to constant vibration, conventional drumheads all have somedegree of slippage inside the hoop, which results in de-tuning andlack of resonance and response.

TRIPLE LOCKING SYSTEM™ Aquarian’s unique “Triple Locking System”™ provides drummers withpreviously unheard of advantages in resonance and playability.

1. Holes are punched in the bottom of a “U” shaped channel which hasbeen formed in the drumhead. These holes allow the resin to flow intothe “Safe-T-Loc” channel.

2. The “T-Ribs” that form the “Safe-T-Loc”™ channel prevent the resinand the drumhead from slipping and pulling away from the hoop.

3. The “Locking Shoulder” acts as a “stop” to ensure the correct collarheight for the drumhead.

Jack’s style is iconic and his sound isdistinctive. Aquarian has designed a

single ply drumhead with a special blackcoating to compliment his distinctive

sound. This slightly thicker coating producesa dry, focused sound that is well suited for jazz

and fusion players.

These texture coated two ply heads have a reversePower-Thin Dot for extra durability. They sound greatin virtually all musical situations including Country,Blues, Pop, Rock and Metal. A very versatile drumhead.

Focus-X™ drumheads feature a “vented”muffling ring that eliminates unwantedring while maintaining a fat tone on tomtoms and a sensitive, articulate soundon snare drums. No muffling needed.Great for close up miking, live or inthe recording studio.
