Description
The EVANS Hydraulic Black is built around a thin layer of oil trapped between two plies of film, a construction method that dates back to the fat, deep, punchy sound of early 1970s rock drumming. That oil layer does double duty: it dampens overtones for a controlled, short attack while also adding toughness to the head so it holds up to heavy playing.
- 16 inch size
- Two-ply construction with oil film between the plies for damping and durability
- Delivers a fat, deep, short-sustain tone rooted in classic 70s rock sound
- Known for being easy to tune, ideal for players who struggle with tuning or drums that fight back
- Built with EVANS Level 360 technology for a true, even fit
Beyond tone, this head solves a fitting problem that’s plagued synthetic heads for decades. EVANS Level 360 technology extends a level playing surface a full 360 degrees around the head, paired with a vertically enhanced collar. That collar makes consistent contact with the bearing edge of your drum shell without needing to force the head into place. The payoff is a head that tunes more easily, opens up a wider usable pitch range, and produces cleaner, more reliable tone across the whole surface — no more fighting a head that just won’t sit right on your shell.
