Description

Hydraulics feature two plies that sandwich a thin layer of oil and give the fat, deep, and short sound pioneered by early 70's rock and roll. The oil decreases sustain and enhances attack and low-end. Additionally, Hydraulics are famously easy to tune...making them a perfect fix for troublesome drums and younger players looking for instant sound. From the Manufacturer Hydraulic Blue Series OverviewEvans blue Hydraulic series features a thin film of oil between two plies of thin film offering maximum durability, a fat, deep and short sound pioneered by early 70's rock and roll. Hydraulics are famously easy to tune, making them a perfect fix for troublesome drums and players with little tuning experience. The revolutionary Evans Level 360 drum head technology is found in the proprietary collar design that extends the level playing surface of the drum head 360 degrees around the drum. This vertically enhanced collar design ensures balanced contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in: • Ease of fit • Ease of tuning • Extended tuning range and quality of sound Available on all Evans 6 – 20 inch Batter and Resonant Drum set, Snare Side, Concert and Marching Tenor heads. Evans Level 360 technology solves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting a variety of drum shells without using force that chokes the responsiveness of the head and the drum’s performance. The Level 360 BlueprintThe benefits provided by Evans Level 360 technology stem from a groundbreaking collar design:Steeper Collar: Extends the level plane of the drum head to ensure balanced contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell. Roll-over Hoop: Provides strength and stability where the film meets the hoop, for greater durability without diminishing performance. Balanced Contact: For ease of tuning and enhanced quality of sound. Greater Tonal Range: Wider tuning options result in higher levels of responsivness and resonance, giving you the confidence to tune your drums high or low.

  • Hydraulic drum head
Size: 14 Inch Color: Blue
So, quality head by a well known company. Came quickly and without incident. Price was good. I bought this 14" head to see if i liked the sound of hydraulic heads on my Yamaha Stage custom birch kit. It definitely had a bit of a deeper fatter sound .... however, more so with medium tension and not much stick rebound. I like my heads a bit tighter ( i prefer the sound and i get better stick rebound ) Overall, the difference in sound from my one ply Remos to the Evans hydraulic ( both at a bit higher tension ) was negligible. I was not particularly "blown away" by this head and i still had to use muffling with it. It also has a weird feel to it at medium tension .... kind of like hitting with a drum stick .... a slice of American cheese with the plastic wrap on it is the only way i can describe it. I'm not by any means saying this head is garbage .... i'm just saying that it wasn't for me and to spend $200+ to replace all the heads on my kit didn't seem worth it for a very "slight" difference in sound than my current Remo heads. I can muffle my Remos and get practically the same "fat" studio type sound as the hydraulics. Maybe others would notice more of a significant difference from their current heads .... i didn't. Again, not bashing the head or the brand. All this being said .... since i like to experiment with my kit , i decided to try the hydraulic on my snare drum. I will say that it gave my snare a bit of a deeper "pop" which i like. My snare is only 5.5" deep , but now sounds deeper than with the original Remo single ply head i had on it. So, i kept the hydraulic on my snare and like my snare sound better now than i did b4. So, it's all good. The blue is very cool as well lol. ` ... show more

  • Not for everyone, but I love them
Size: 12 Inch Color: Blue
Hydraulics are an acquired taste. They wouldn't be my first choice as far as best sounding heads go, maybe not even top 5, but man these things are durable. They also may be the easiest heads to tune, thanks in part to the Evans 360. This was my first time trying one out on my snare batter. I use a 12" metal snare from an old Mapex Venus kit, mainly because of its small footprint. I play exclusively live with a mic, and though I normally need to muffle the snare, this head was good to go as soon as I tightened the lugs. Nice controlled sound. One could argue that it sounds a bit muted or "dead", but through the mic it sounds pretty awesome. After 6-7 shows, my previous G2 would have quite a few indentation, however this head still has a taut, flat surface. Loving the blue color too. I picked up some glass heads for my toms. Everything blends very nicely. I'm thinking about trying out hydraulics on my roto toms soon. Though rotos commonly use single-ply, I'm thinking they may sound decent through a mic. Only thing I'd be reluctant about is the kick, but that's mainly because I love the EMAD so much. Overall, I recommend these if you: - are looking for a specific dampened sound - will be playing them through mics - value durability over an open sound - have trouble tuning your drums, especially if the shells are out of round ... show more
