Evans BD20HR 20inch Hydraulic Red - Bass

As part of the D'Addario family, a world - class leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and reliability. Years ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and now they're still at the forefront of innovation. These Hydraulic Red two - ply bass heads, made in the USA, have a thin oil film between the plies. This helps cut out unwanted overtones, giving you a classic sound like early 70s rock and roll with short sustain. They're super easy to tune, great for tricky drums or those new to tuning. Tighten the tension for a deep thump or loosen it for a slappy sound.

Using your Evans 20 - inch Hydraulic Red bass drumhead is a breeze. First, make sure your drum is clean before installing the head. When tuning, start with all the tension rods slightly loose. Then, gradually tighten them one by one, going around the drum in a star pattern to ensure even tension. For a deep, thumping sound, tighten the tension rods more. If you prefer a slappy sound, leave them a bit looser. As for maintenance, keep the drumhead dry and away from direct sunlight to prevent the oil film from drying out or the head from warping. After each use, wipe the head gently with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any dirt or debris, use a mild drumhead cleaner and a soft brush to clean it. Also, be careful when handling the drumhead to avoid punctures or tears.
