Description
Evans Hydraulic Black Drum Heads are a throwback to the iconic drum tones of the 1970s, delivering deep, punchy sound with ultra-short sustain and instant dampening—no external muffling needed. Built with two 7mil plies of film and a thin layer of oil in between, these heads naturally suppress overtones, giving you a tight, fat tone straight out of the box.
The vibrant black translucent finish isn’t just visually striking—it also offers a slightly softer attack than clear hydraulic heads, making it perfect for players who want a smooth, rounded sound with plenty of control. They’re especially popular for rock, metal, metal, funk, R&B, and studio recording, where a warm, dry tone is essential.
Suitable for use on toms or snare drums, Hydraulic Black heads provide consistency, durability, and a vintage-inspired sound that locks in beautifully with the mix.
Why Choose Evans Hydraulic Black Heads:
-
Instantly controlled, studio-ready tone
-
Eye-catching design adds style to any kit
-
No need for gels or dampening rings
-
Great for classic funk, rock, metal, metal, and soul tones
-
Trusted Evans quality with a unique visual edge
