Made with a thin layer of oil between two plies of 7 mil film (6.5mil & 7.5mil for Hydraulic Black), these frost coated heads not only suppress unwanted overtones, but are also famously easy to tune. Hydraulics have a defined attack, short sustain, and dark tonal character—plus extra warmth, focus, and depth, thanks to Evans frost coating. This coated drumhead also features Level 360 Technology and is available in red, blue, and black.

If it's a current product it has 360, and will state it on the box but not on the head itself. **Q: Is the photo accurate - does it really look like it has bubbles in it when it's tuned/tightened on the drum?** A: Yes. The picture is a very accurate depiction, even when torqued. **Q: I'm fairly new to playing the drums will this hydraulic drum head give me a good sound i need for a new bee. thank you** A: This snare is amazing For rock! If you're looking to have a really have snare hit on 2 and 4 then this is your thing. If you want a more versatile snare I'd reccomend a reverse dot head or along those lines ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attacking *by H***A on 20 May 2025* Attack is high on snare loved it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by O***K on 17 March 2025* Ive been using this for 2/3 years now and its still give that fat snare that i need . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***N on 5 February 2024* I got this as i read a lot of good reviews and needed a new snare head , I liked the other hydrolic heads so got this to go with my Tom's.
