Description

The Evans 22″ Hydraulic Black Bass Drum Head offers a retro-inspired tone with modern engineering, making it an excellent choice for drummers who want tight, fat bass response without the hassle of additional muffling. Its two-ply 7mil construction is infused with a thin layer of oil that naturally controls sustain and overtones—giving you a focused, punchy tone right out of the box.

Designed to recreate the iconic thud of the 1970s, this head is ideal for styles like rock, metal, funk, soul, and studio recording, where tonal clarity and short decay are key. The gloss black finish not only adds striking visual appeal but also provides a smooth surface with balanced stick or beater response.

Whether you’re aiming for a vintage vibe or just want a bass drum head that delivers controlled low-end power, the Hydraulic Black is a dependable and stylish solution.

Why Choose the Evans 22″ Hydraulic Black Bass Drum Head:

  • Delivers vintage-style low-end punch with modern control

  • Integrated damping eliminates the need for extra muffling

  • Sleek black finish adds visual impact to your kit

  • Consistent, focused tone for live and studio use

  • Built to last with Evans’ high-quality construction standards
