Description
The Evans Hydraulic Red Bass Drum Head in 22 inch is a bold, punchy batter head for drummers who want instant depth and control with a striking look. Its translucent red finish stands out on stage while delivering the classic short, fat thump associated with hydraulic heads. Ideal for rock, pop and live worship, it suits players upgrading from stock heads who need quick results without heavy muffling. Whether you are building a focused studio sound, tightening up a rehearsal room kit or adding visual flair to your live setup, this head gives you a reliable, microphone friendly low end that sits easily in the mix.
Features
Deep, controlled low end
The Hydraulic Red produces a tight, punchy fundamental with a short decay, reducing unwanted ringing so your bass drum sits neatly in the mix. It gives you that classic, fat thump without needing excessive internal damping, making it ideal for live shows and recording sessions.
Two ply, oil damped construction
Two layers of robust film with a thin oil layer between them tame overtones and enhance durability. The result is a focused voice that stays consistent at low and medium tensions, perfect for modern kick sounds with minimal fuss.
Level 360 collar for easy tuning
Evans Level 360 collar seats evenly on the shell for faster head changes and smoother tuning. It improves contact with the bearing edge, helping the head tune evenly all around the drum and maintain pitch stability over longer sessions.
Roadworthy durability
Built to handle regular rehearsals and confident pedal work, the dual film design resists dents and stretches less over time. It offers a reassuring feel under felt, wood or plastic beaters, keeping its tone and punch gig after gig.
Striking translucent red finish
The vivid red colour adds a distinctive visual hit to your kit without compromising sound. It pairs well with acrylic and wrapped drums alike, giving your bass drum a recognisable look on stage and in the studio.
