Evans Hydraulic Glass Drum Head - 13"

The Evans Hydraulic Glass Drum Head - 13" is a powerhouse of controlled, punchy tone, offering a deep, vintage-inspired sound that’s instantly recognizable. Designed for drummers who crave fat, warm, and focused tones with minimal overtones, this drumhead delivers effortless tuning and a beautifully dampened resonance straight out of the box. Whether you’re chasing the thud of classic rock, the tightness of funk, or the smooth depth needed for studio perfection, this drumhead is built to provide exceptional playability with minimal fuss.

Innovative Two-Ply Oil-Dampened Construction

The Hydraulic Glass drumhead features two plies of 7mil film, providing extra durability while maintaining a smooth, controlled response. What makes this series unique is the thin layer of oil sandwiched between the plies, a design that naturally suppresses excessive overtones while enhancing the drum’s low-end punch. This results in a fat, warm, and slightly compressed tone with an unmistakable quick decay—perfect for drummers who want tight, focused, and effortlessly mix-ready sounds without the need for additional muffling.

This distinctive oil-filled construction also makes the drumhead extremely durable, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy playing conditions. Whether you're laying down deep-pocket grooves or playing high-energy fills, the Hydraulic Glass head responds with a smooth, even attack and just the right amount of sustain.

Easy Tuning with Level 360 Technology

Tuning issues? Not with this drumhead. The Level 360 Technology ensures that the drumhead seats perfectly on the bearing edge, making it incredibly easy to tune. Even on difficult drums, this design allows for a broader tuning range, from a low, thunderous boom to a tight, cutting punch. This means less time spent fiddling with lugs and more time actually playing.

For drummers who have struggled with getting their toms to sit right in a mix or who want a pre-EQ’d sound without extra dampening, this drumhead is a game-changer.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Genres

The Hydraulic Glass series has been a go-to for drummers across multiple styles, particularly those who need quick, focused response and tonal consistency. The 13-inch size makes this head a perfect fit for rack toms, delivering a warm, controlled midrange punch that complements a variety of kits.

Live players will appreciate how the reduced overtones keep their sound tight and defined, while studio drummers will love the rich, smooth sound that sits perfectly in a mix without excessive post-processing. If you're after the classic 70s rock thud, the funky snap of controlled toms, or a versatile head that sounds great in almost any setting, this is the one for you.
