Aquarian Accessories

Ron Marquez formed Aquarian Accessories with jazz drummer Roy Burns back in 1980. Together they developed several successful products including a series of popular drumheads. Ron established his own powder coating company in 1974, which led to his introduction to Roy who was looking for some manufacturing assistance for a new line of drumheads. Roy and Ron opened Aquarian in Orange County, California, and for over 25 years have remained best friends, working side by side. In fact during each NAMM show you will likely see both men in their booth.
