Unique construction produces a sound like no other
The secret to the signature Hydraulic sound lies in how these drumheads are made. These Evans drumheads begin life as two humble plies of synthetic film. Before being attached to the rim, the head is filled with oil and quickly sealed off. Once it’s tuned up, the oil acts as a built-in dampener that controls overtones and reduces the drum’s overall sustain. The result of this construction method is a drumhead that produces a warm, fat sound. Plus, with Evans Hydraulic Drumheads on your kit, you won’t have to use gel, tape, control rings, or wallets to get the sound you want.
