Description

The Evans Hydraulic Red Bass Drum Head brings together classic 1970s-style tone with modern durability and a vibrant visual aesthetic. Made from two plies of 7mil film and featuring a thin layer of oil between them, this head is designed for players who want a short, deep, and focused bass drum sound—with no need for external dampening.

The translucent red finish not only looks stunning under stage lights but also delivers a slightly warmer and smoother attack than clear models. It’s a favourite among drummers in funk, soul, R&B, rock and metal genres looking for tight low-end that doesn’t ring out or get muddy.

Whether you’re gigging, recording, or building a vintage-style kit with modern reliability, the Hydraulic Red offers controlled tone, fast setup, and standout appearance in one head.

Why Choose the Evans Hydraulic Red Bass Drum Head:
  • Instantly delivers a warm, punchy kick drum sound

  • Built-in oil damping reduces overtones and sustain

  • Striking red visual finish enhances stage presence

  • No need for internal pillows or extra muffling

  • Durable, consistent, and ready for live or studio use
