Independent shopping perspective
EVANS Red Hydraulic is an 18-inch drum head built from two 7-mil film plies with a thin layer of oil between them. That construction delivers a fat, deep, short sound and is intended for maximum durability. Its easy-tuning design is especially useful when a troublesome drum needs a more manageable setup or when the player has limited tuning experience. The red finish gives the head a clear visual identity on the drum.
