Description
The Evans Hydraulic Black brings back the punchy, dark snare tone that defined rock drumming in the 70s. What makes it different from a standard two-ply head is a thin layer of oil trapped between the plies — 6.5 mil and 7.5 mil film — which naturally chokes off excess ring and overtones before they ever reach your ears. The result is a head with quick decay, strong attack, and a low, focused voice that sits well in a mix without needing a lot of muffling.
Evans finishes this head with their frost coating, giving it a textured surface that adds warmth and a bit of grit to the sound while also making it forgiving for brush and rim work. Underneath, Level 360 Technology keeps the collar consistent all the way around the hoop, so tuning stays even and the head seats properly on your snare — no fighting with wrinkles or uneven pitch.
- 14″ coated batter head in black
- 2-ply construction with oil layer between plies (6.5 mil / 7.5 mil film) for overtone control
- Hydraulic technology for a fat, deep, short-sustain sound
- Frosted coating adds warmth, depth, and texture
- Level 360 Technology for easier tuning and consistent seating
- Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA
If you want the punchy, controlled snap of a classic rock snare without reaching for extra dampening, this head does the work for you.
