A classic sound, short in sustain. Tension it tight for a real thump or loose and slappy. Two plies sandwich a thin film of oil that supresses unwanted overtones.
From the Manufacturer
Evans 22" glass (clear) Hydraulic two-ply bass head features a thin film of oil between the plies that suppresses unwanted overtones. A classic sound, short in sustain. Tension it tight for a real thump or loose for a more slappy sound.
Evans Hydraulic series features 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. Available in 3 colors: glass, black and blue.
For over 40 years, Evans has been a pioneer of drum head manufacturing and design. Known for innovative designs such as EMAD, EC2S, and the Hydraulic series, Evans drum heads are made in the USA in a state of the art manufacturing facility. Acquired in 1996 by D’Addario and Company, the global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand is synonymous with quality and consistency.

Cut the resonance - bass drum sounds like a cannon. So far so good.

These heads produce a softer, deeper tone, with less over ring. Great sound for rock drummers. The blue color looks amazing on my '69 Ludwig Oyster Pearl (Ringo finish) set.

Generally speaking this is definitely not the head for me, but it has its place and doesn’t really deserve the flak it gets from drum head snobs. I’ve got it on the kick of my low volume practice rig, this head paired with an Evans sound off mute and I’m getting a really nice kicky thud in a small practice room without overwhelming anything. I would not go with this on my regular acoustic kit but I could see it working fine if this sound is what you’re going for.

I had an Evans Emad batter head on my bass drum, it was about 12 yrs old, been on three kits and sounding a bit flat.. So after a bit of research Ibought this after seeing a guy on YouTube review and demo it, his kick drum with the right tuning sounded like a canon! Maximum thumpification as he called it haha.. My toms have these heads too, same colour. Kit is now sounding the best it ever has, had punters at gigs comment on the sound of it too. Can’t be bad. Highly recommended.

They really changed the tone of this vintage Tama set, and I like it. The colors are very cool bonus and really gives the set an awesome look. I don't have to use tape and/or cloth to dampen the sustain and that is nice.

I needed a new front for my kick so I could put vinyl on it for my friend’s church. Works perfectly.

Nach 2,5 Monaten oberes Fell gerissen. Die Snare Drum wurde 2 bis 3 mal die Woche von meinem 6-jährigen Sohn benutzt.Scheinbar ist das Hydraulic System noch nicht ausgereift.

Great batter head if you want all thud and resonance. I have a hazy ambassador on the resonant side and need zero muffling, no pillow, no anything for a solid thud. Tighten the batter for a snappier attack. Good for hip hop drumming, 70/80s power rock, metal, or any time you want a clear quick bass drum sound. Warning: not for any style where you want sweet resonant tone, this sound is dead by those standards.

This head sounds fantastic, and unlike many such heads, these are two-ply with a hydraulic fluid between them. This helps the head to resonate at a lower pitch, and the two-ply system helps it stand up to serious beating. Two-ply also reduces the overall volume of the bass drum, which actually balances its sound *very* *very* well with the kit overall.I used Aquarian for years..... Evans is "head" and shoulders above the rest!I use Evans Genera Dry heads for my piccolo and standard snares, I use Evans Hydraulic heads for all toms and my bass drum. I also use Evan Genera Resonant heads for all drums except the bass drum -- I use an Evans Black (ported) EQ3 on the bass drum resonant side.

Increíble, tanto el precio como el sonido, a cualquier batería, ya sea barata y mala como la mía o la mejor, hace superarse con este parche.

I ended up putting this on the front as a resonance head. With the EMAD 2 as my batter head. I have placed the Evans EQ dampening pad inside, and......WHOA!!!!! My kick has never sounded so good! I get a ton of compliments on a blue resonance head. The kick has such a cool look, and a crazy thick and tight sound. With the blue head on front and clear head in back, the audiences can see through the kick drum when I'm on stage. I've been hearing non-stop compliments for weeks. I've got blue hydrolics on my toms too. They are great for a quick attack and thick sound. They do not ring out. They are not for soft drummers who need resonance when playing with a light touch. But a little bit of pressure and they really open up. I give them 5 stars. Just know what sound you are going for when purchasing drum heads. These are perfect for what they do
