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.

  • Low in tone high in quality
Size: 8-inch Color: Red
Took several weeks to get all red Evans hydraulic heads for our hrly room kit. Once they finally all arrived, we took a day to install and tune and stretch. Not only do they have a real nice look they have great tone and sustain they don't damage as easily as 1 ply heads. I highly recommend Evans heads. Only issue is there's not one person or BUISNESS that you can purchase all the heads your kit will need . It is unfortunate no one can stock do to Evans not producing enough. If your willing to wait then it's worth it. ... show more

  • No overtones
Size: 18-inch Color: Red
If overtones or ringing are your problem, they aren’t anymore with a Hydraulic head. The thin layer of oil and thick plies of Mylar ensure only impact and the basic fundamental tone come out. I put one on an 18” floor to serve as a vertical bass drum-type thing, works like a champ. Beginners love these (I used them back in the day) just put them on any old set of drums and don’t worry about ringing. Will last forever as long as you don’t over tighten them. ... show more

  • Amazon sells drum heads.....who knew?
Size: 16-inch Color: Red
I have been playing Evans drum heads on and off for 40 years, so my reasons for buying them might not be unbiased. I play a very old (77-78) Ludwig set, and "hydraulic" (meaning 2-ply with a thin coating of oil between the plies) drum heads just seem to work on my dilapidated old shells. And the red color looks great on my red drums. ... show more

  • My new head
Size: 8-inch Color: Blue
As a drummer, we are looking for that perfect head. I have found that for myself in the Hydraulic oil induced head. Perfect sustain (short & punchy,) and the color isn't to bad either (blue, which there are other colors) because I own the Pearl Ice Oyster Blue shell. I gave it 3 star on durability because it seems to dent easier than the norm. ... show more
