Evans Hydraulic Black 12-Inch Tom Drumhead – 2-Ply Oil-Filled with Level 360 Technology

Product Description

Experience the legendary fat, deep, and short sound that defined early 70s rock and roll with the Evans Hydraulic Black series tom drumhead. This 12-inch batter head features a unique construction consisting of two plies of thin film that sandwich a thin layer of oil. This innovative design dampens high-frequency overtones and sustains, significantly enhancing the low-end attack to deliver a powerful, punchy tone that cuts through the mix.

Beyond its iconic sound, the Evans Hydraulic drumhead is renowned for its playability. The oil barrier makes these heads famously easy to tune, providing an instant “wow” factor that makes them an excellent choice for younger players or anyone struggling to tame a troublesome drum. Maximum durability is ensured by the two-ply design, making it a reliable workhorse for gigging musicians and heavy hitters alike.

This drumhead is equipped with Evans’ revolutionary Level 360 Technology. The proprietary collar design extends the level playing surface of the drumhead 360 degrees around the drum, ensuring balanced contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell. This vertically enhanced collar design eliminates the age-old dilemma of heads not fitting various drum shells, resulting in ease of fit, ease of tuning, and an extended tuning range. Whether you tune your drums low for a thunderous floor tom sound or higher for distinct attack, the Level 360 technology provides greater responsiveness and consistent quality of sound.

The Roll-over Hoop design provides additional strength and stability where the film meets the hoop, offering greater durability without diminishing the head’s dynamic performance. Available in a sleek black finish, this head not only sounds professional but looks the part on any drum kit.
