Evans Hydraulic

Two plies with oil between them

Hydraulic heads seal a thin layer of oil between two plies, producing an extremely short, fat tom sound. It is one of the most idiomatic drum sounds of the 1970s and has never fully gone away.

Category

  • Drumheads

    The consumable that changes a drum's voice more than the shell does. Single and double ply, clear and coated, with and without built-in muffling.

Made by

  • Evans

    Chick Evans made the first plastic drumhead in the 1950s, and the brand — part of D'Addario since the mid-1990s — is one of two names that cover most of the market. Evans is associated with the level-360 collar, oil-filled double-ply heads, and the EMAD system's interchangeable external muffling ring.
