Evans BD22HR 22inch Hydraulic Red - Bass

As part of the D'Addario family, a world - leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and consistency. 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 are made in the USA. They have a thin oil film between the plies that cuts out unwanted overtones, giving you a classic 70s rock - and - roll sound with short sustain. They're super easy to tune, ideal for tricky drums or players new to tuning. Tighten the tension for a deep thump or loosen it for a slappy sound.

Using your Evans 22 - inch Hydraulic Red Bass Drumhead is simple. First, place the drumhead on your bass drum. Make sure it's centered and flat. You can start with medium tension on the lugs around the drum. If you want a deep, thumping sound, gradually tighten the lugs evenly. For a slappy sound, leave the tension a bit looser. When tuning, it's a good idea to use a drum key to adjust the lugs one by one in a star pattern to keep the tension balanced. As for maintenance, keep your drumhead clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or fingerprints after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or cold, as this can damage the oil film between the plies and affect the sound. Also, be careful not to scratch the drumhead with sharp objects. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it might be time to replace the drumhead.
