Product Details

SKU: B14HB

EVANS Hydraulic snare batter heads give you the fat, deep, short sound pioneered by rock and roll drummers in the 1970s. Made with a thin layer of oil between two plies of 7 mil film (6.5mil & 7.5mil for Hydraulic Black), these frost coated heads not only suppress unwanted overtones, but are also famously easy to tune. Hydraulics have a defined attack, short sustain, and dark tonal character—plus extra warmth, focus, and depth, thanks to Evans frost coating. This coated drumhead also features Level 360 Technology and is available in red, blue, and black.

Ideal For: Rock, Funk, Rock/Pop

Made in the USA at our New York production facility.

How to tune your drum set

How to Choose a Snare Drumhead

Snare drumheads can have a significant impact on the sound of your kit. EVANS makes a variety of snare heads, to give you everything from damp “thuds” to sharp “pings”. Your sonic preferences are important, but to choose a snare drumhead you need to first pick a size. Not all EVANS heads come in all sizes, so you’ll definitely want to start there.

Once you know the size of your snare, you can further narrow down your snare batter options by choosing single or double ply. Thinner heads will have more attack and sound punchy, defined, and articulate, while thicker heads have a tone which will blend in a bit more. Therefore, in general, single ply heads are brighter, while double ply heads are darker. However, two plies will give you more of another important aspect of snare heads: durability.

EVANS Snare drumhead product pages have detailed explanations of each head. You can find any sound you’re looking for—and all EVANS heads feature Level 360 Technology to provide ease of tuning, extended pitch range, and optimum quality of sound. There are tried-and-true single ply options like Power Center Reverse Dot, which provide a definitive snare sound, fat backbeat, and solid rebound. There are also coated, double ply heads like UV2, which use patented UV-cured coating to create a premier drumhead with increased attack and maximum durability.

There are no shortage of options when it comes to EVANS snare batters. So, no matter what your snare drumhead preference, we’ve got you covered. And if you need help finding your perfect drumhead, let our Drumhead Finder guide you with a few simple questions.

A Well-Oiled Machine

For many, drumhead tuning can be a frustrating, time-consuming experience. Thankfully, the EVANS Hydraulic series heads take much of the guesswork out of the dark art of tuning, all while giving you the fattest and roundest sounding tone. For those who would rather spend their time playing, the ease of tuning provided by Hydraulic heads’ unique oil injected two-ply construction allows them to do just that.
