16" Tom Drumhead with 2-ply Film and Thin Layer of Oil - Black

The Evans Hydraulic Black tom drumhead features two plies sandwiching a thin layer of oil, giving the head an especially fat, deep, and short sound made famous by early-70s rock. The oil decreases sustain, while enhancing attack and low end. Plus, Evans Hydraulic Black drumheads are famously easy to tune, so they're a great choice for troublesome drums or beginning players wanting instant access to great sound.

Drums as dead as you are inside

By Cryle from florida
Music Background: @cryledrums

this are NOT for everyone. if you want a bright clean sound, with beautiful resonance to enjoy the tone of your drums, this aint for you.

i however absolutely love them. they have a built in muffle that makes the drums sound like a body hitting the pavement. if you want an attack with nothing behind it, these are for you.

i have a 13" and 16" one up one down, g1 reso. i did have a 10" for a bit but it sounded bad with these heads. you want these for that bigger (rock, metalcore, darkpop) sound. i wouldn't go smaller than a 12" imo.

these also can take a beating. i am not kind to my kit and beat these with tree trunks (like marching sticks) and they have done really well under stress

also shout out the rep/sales engineer homies who helped me

Sounded like garbage

By Sweetwater Customer from VA

I bought these based on the description to get that big 70's rock sound...instead it sounded like dropping a medicine ball on carpet. No tone, just a dead sound. They are also ridiculously thick which is probably not helping the situation. I honestly can't think of a good "sound" you would ever want to use these for.

Literally the worst

By Sweetwater Customer

Miraculously makes my 16" floor tom sound like a basketball hitting a concrete wall. Impressively awful

Amazing sound and amazingly easy to tune

By Donny A. from Wabash, IN
Music Background: Self taught drummer

I"ve always have had a hard time getting the ring out of my drums and know fellow drummers with the same problems and have tried lots of different things with some success but these heads are so simple to tune, I had 5 toms to tune and had them all tuned in 10 minutes with very little ring and the sound is so amazing! I would recommend these to anyone wanting a easy setup and amazing sound!
