Evans Drum Heads - Hydraulic Blue Tom Drumhead, 12 Inch

Hydraulics are an acquired taste. They wouldn't be my first choice as far as best sounding heads go, maybe not even top 5, but man these things are durable. They also may be the easiest heads to tune, thanks in part to the Evans 360. This was my first time trying one out on my snare batter. I use a 12" metal snare from an old Mapex Venus kit, mainly because of its small footprint. I play exclusively live with a mic, and though I normally need to muffle the snare, this head was good to go as soon as I tightened the lugs. Nice controlled sound. One could argue that it sounds a bit muted or "dead", but through the mic it sounds pretty awesome. After 6-7 shows, my previous G2 would have quite a few indentation, however this head still has a taut, flat surface. Loving the blue color too. I picked up some glass heads for my toms. Everything blends very nicely. I'm thinking about trying out hydraulics on my roto toms soon. Though rotos commonly use single-ply, I'm thinking they may sound decent through a mic. Only thing I'd be reluctant about is the kick, but that's mainly because I love the EMAD so much. Overall, I recommend these if you: - are looking for a specific dampened sound - will be playing them through mics - value durability over an open sound - have trouble tuning your drums, especially if the shells are out of round

Hydraulics aren’t for everyone or every kit, I use them on a DW Acrylic kit and they sound really deep and low bottom , a pure punch. I just love the feel and depth. I have a DW Maple kit as well and in my opinion the hydros take away from the true maple tones. Also the construction of these heads are incredibly strong and long lasting, you can beat the crap out of them and they will last and sound great for a very long time.

The description says it all, versitial, durable, easy to tune, quality sounding heads. Just bought my second set (2019) to replace my set from 2013. Best BANG for you buck. Favorite of mine and all my drummer friends.

Love these drum heads , sound is amazing, much better then expected, I highly recommend these drum heads. 100 percent.

great heads there's goo in between them heads, something about hydraulic you can see the little bubbles crying between the plastic this makes a great sound, buy it and when you tighten them, the goo changes form slightly ah, good times, good times

No los he instalado pero en su momento escribiré una reseña

great stick feel/rebound warm punchy sound last a WAY long time (ten years on my bass and 6 on a tom) tune up fast worth the $ for sure

Obviously tuning is the main factor here, but these heads are extremely good sounding. Currently, they are my favorite and sound the best compared to a couple of kits I play on regularly with other brand heads.
