Evans 14" Hydraulic Blue Snare

Volume is ofetn a problem in smaller venues, and while I recognise this was not the application Evans had in mind when they launched this - but it does in fact work very well here. I have thge head on Gretcsh 14"x5.5" snare and have it slightly de-tunned. I don't use any other dampeneing, and it has a great resonat sound but isn't so agressive that it blots the sound landscape. I've recommended to other drummers, and they've had the same experience.

This drum head works great on metal snare drums. Especially on aluminum! Ludwig type.
Great sound on a rimshot!
Sounds very interesting for pop, funk, classic rock, disco...
For any dance music.

Having seen players like Sput use this head I thought i'd give it a shot for a phat snare sound. Only tried it on one snare so far, but i'm liking it! I've tried it down low and absoutely cranked on a DW Brass snare. Like the blue colour as well, pretty hip.

Was used on cheap BASIX snare drum to make it sound low and dirty. Worked perfectly. Double ply Hydraulic series saturates the sound of a drum to the low end. In my experience, heavy drum heads can fix the ringing of a cheap instrument or make good instrument sound with really low end.

11/10
Evans are the best!!!

Exactly what I was looking for.
Snare sounds really big and clean, with less harmonics and a fat punch.
If you're looking for a 70s sound (like Bonham's loose snare on some tracks), this will do the right job

Brought it for my snare as I play in a metal and rock covers band. Very ggod skin and great sound. Great value for money
