Evans Hydraulic tom batter heads deliver the rich, deep, and short sound made famous by 1970s rock and roll drummers. With a thin oil layer between two plies of 7 mil film (6.5mil & 7.5mil for Hydraulic Black), these heads effectively suppress unwanted overtones and are incredibly easy to tune. They offer a distinct attack, short sustain, and a dark tonal character. This drumhead also features Level 360 Technology. Ideal for rock, metal, and funk music, Evans Hydraulic drumheads are unique in the market with their oil - layered design. The two plies ensure maximum durability. Level 360 Technology provides easy tuning, an extended pitch range, and top - notch sound quality. All Evans drumheads are designed, engineered, and made in the USA. Specifications include a 16 - inch size, clear treatment, 2 plies, and Hydraulic technology.
Using your Evans 16 - inch Hydraulic Blue Batter Head is a breeze. First, place the head on your tom drum carefully, making sure it fits well. Then, start tightening the lugs evenly in a star pattern to get a good initial tension. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until you reach the desired pitch. When it comes to playing, this head is great for rock, metal, and funk, so feel free to play with different styles. As for maintenance, keep your drumhead clean by wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures as this can damage the oil layer and affect the sound. If you notice any signs of wear or tear, it might be time to replace the head. Remember, since it's made in the USA, you're getting a high - quality product, so take good care of it to enjoy great drumming for a long time.
