Description
The EVANS Hydraulic Black in 13 inches delivers the oil-damped punch that made this series a go-to for drummers chasing that classic early-70s rock sound. A thin layer of oil sits sandwiched between two plies of film, giving the head its trademark fat, deep, and short-sustain tone while boosting overall durability compared to a single-ply design.
- Two-ply construction with an internal oil layer for a controlled, dampened attack
- Fat, deep, short sound suited to rock and heavier styles
- Known for being unusually forgiving to tune, even for less experienced players
- Built on EVANS Level 360 technology
What makes this head especially practical is the Level 360 collar. EVANS extended the flat playing surface all the way around the head’s edge, so it makes even, consistent contact with the bearing edge of your drum shell. That solves a common headache with synthetic heads that need to be forced into place — instead you get smoother tuning, a wider usable pitch range, and more consistent tone across the whole head.
If your kit has been fighting you at tuning time, or you just want a quick, reliable fix for a troublesome drum, the Hydraulic Black’s easy-tune reputation makes it a solid pick — no drumming pedigree required.
