Detail 01
Two 7-mil plies with oil between them
The layered Hydraulic construction is the basis for its maximum-durability design and short, deep sound.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around two 7-mil films separated by oil, the 14-inch Red Hydraulic head brings a fat, deep response with a deliberately short decay to a tom. Its construction is aimed at maximum durability, while the Hydraulic design keeps tuning straightforward. It is a practical choice when a troublesome drum needs a more manageable setup and a controlled, early-'70s-rock-inspired voice.
