For that big, fat, wet, '70s sound.
Another Evans exclusive, Hydraulic heads are heavy-duty, twin-ply drumheads that have an oil-filling between the two plies to greatly reduce drum resonance and, at the same time, emphasize the fundamental and lower overtones of the drum.
*Note: Evans is in the process of updating their product packaging. Rest assured that while the packaging you receive may differ from what's shown here, the same great Evans heads you rely on are still inside.

These hydraulic glass heads are a great choice for those who want wet attack with depth. I recently purchased a drum set with toms that rang out for days. This is excellent for live performances but at practice and in recording it's overkill. I've tried the hydraulic blue on the low tom and it was like pounding a washtub, way too dead for my taste. I thought I'd give the glass a try since they're known for brighter attack and it turned out to be just that.
Tuned high they still have a bright long sustain for a dampened head. Tuning these batter heads low and the resonant heads very low gave me just the right chest thumping sound for heavier styles. They take some breaking in but are very durable and perfect for small venues and practice spaces. If you have a kit that doesn't resonate a lot or don't like any muffling in your tuning, these aren't for you.
For others who want to try the Evans Hydraulic line, I own them all and are basically categorized as:
Glass - Open; Blue - Muffled; Black - Dead.

I had a G2 on my floor tom and I also was muffling it with a remo Muffl. I started thinking that my floor tom was too dead, and that I needed a pre-muffled tom head. So I got this head for my 16 inch floor tom. Big mistake. I tuned it up, and let me tell you, I just wished I would have woken up from this 'bad dream' right then and there. I tune my toms quite low (sometimes to the point of wrinkles), and these sound very dead at that point for my tastes. I hate tuning my toms high, but had to try it with this head. It sounded way too ringy. It is so hard to find the sweet spot in this head that it is pathetic, and I am have one of the best sounding drumkits I know. If I can't tune a head, it is crap. In fact, these are so bad they are just like pinstripes, which are the worst heads ever.

Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
I generally use G2's on my 8"-14" toms, but have an 18" floor tom that I Occasionally add. This head decreases the rumble on the 18", and helps craft a nice punchy, controlled tone, making the 18" very useable.
In the past, I've used hydraulics on all of my toms to help curb the overall volume of the kit and it works quite nicely.
I do not recommend them for general studio work. They are designed to eliminate the "warm" frequencies, shorten the sustain, and accentuate the attack and fundamental tone.

Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
I got these a month ago for my black Tama Stagestar 10", 12" and 14" toms and my 16" gray Enforcer second floor tom, and I have to say, this was perhaps the best purchase I've ever made for the drums. They have more ring than the EC2s that I had used before, but still have a nice, short sustain. Even the plywood Enforcer floor tom sounds amazing with a Hydraulic Glass batter head. I will never use any other batter head for my toms. I most highly recommend this drum head.

Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
Im using this drumhead on my 16" Gretsch Catalina Club Rock Floor Tom, and It literally Freaking Shakes the ground when Its hit! IT HAS A WONDERFUL SOUND!!!! Couldn't be happier!! EVANS FOR LIFE!!!
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
First let me say, there are maple guys that like big open sounds and there are birch/mahogony guys that like focused sound. Well I'm the latter of the two. I play allot of rudiments within my fills and I want to hear what I'm playing. I want the attack to be precise. After 30 years of playing, I haven't found any drum head that gives me a focused attack and low end sound like Evans Hydraulic. These heads can make cheap drums sound great too. To put it in prespective, It's no secret that Yamaha Recording Custom Drums are the most recorded drums. The reason why is, there are less studio overtones to eliminate in birch wood. If you're a church drummer that doesn't want allot of overtones or maybe a country drummer where less is more, these heads are great. Happy drumming, And rememer, it's not how good of a player you are, it's how much you love what you are playing.
Decreases unwanted overtones, increases low end and punch while providing increased attack.
The most durable head I've ever played.
Most heads cost about the same, they cost what they cost.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
It is the ONLY Head I use!
Been using them since the Late 70's
Most durable head I have ever played. Keeps tone the Longest!
Simply the BEST head Ever!
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
these are great heads. they do everything they say they do, and sound great. With a bit of careful tuning, you can eliminate all unnecessary overtones. I have them on all of my toms and they give my drums the exact sound I'm looking for.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
I have been using Evans Hydraulics for 2 decadesI have tried others way back when, but nothing sastified my ears like the thick & rich & punchy sound that I hear with little or no overtones depending on the tuning and size of the shells.I use larger drums 14x12 rack, 16x14 rack(used as floor tom), and a 16x18 floor. Hydraulics really let the power of these drums shine through; I tune low so the audience can feel the thunder!! Every one hears the sound that comes out of their drums differently. I happen to like the thud sound of the 70's & 80's before all the techno stuff that's why I only use HydraulicsMy drums, my choice. Try em for a big sound!!
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
Okay so I've read the other reviews and I like how they all contradict each other. Basically I would recommend you try these heads first. They are not resonant and they eliminate over tones, but that's exactly what I want. They don't fit everyone's taste though. I use them in my pop-punk/hardcore band and they're perfect. I don't know how they would sound with jazz though, I don't play much jazz.
Comments about Evans Hydraulic Glass Drumhead:
I have played drums for about 8 years now. I do really well actually. I have gotten better at tuning and I have used REMO Weather King Pinstripes,Weatherking Coated,Black Dots and Remo Weatherking Power Strokes..which I really liked. But my local drum shop recommended these Evans Hydraulic heads for a Vistalite kit I have and they worked really well!! Beautiful tone. Nice and thick and just the right ring. Can't say enough good things about them. Their all I really want to use now. And on my 24" kicks I use the Evans Emad 2. My Drum sizes are 10,12,14,16 Floor 18 Floor all with Hydraulics. Even on my Maple kit the Hydraulics sound the best for me. Highly Recommended.
