      Rob Brown great now I have to get a 14 inch snare lol

    • @Rockin_Ross
      @Rockin_Ross Před 6 lety +1

      I have the ebony coated version of this on my 14.
      I've used these heads since the 80's and have taken a bit of ribbing over it from other drummers.
      "So you like the sound of cardboard boxes huh?" Is what I usually get. But I've found these tune up beautifully and last much longer under regular use.
      Great video as always my thumpification brother. You're truly inspirational.

    • @fatmatrow
      @fatmatrow Před 6 lety +1

      Ross Gillis I use the uncoated red ones one the 10 and 13 rooms on my little premier artist birch club kit. They control the ringing and make them perfect for small venues and smallish outdoor gigs.

    • @fatmatrow
      @fatmatrow Před 6 lety

      Ross Gillis they just sound so fat and perfect

  • @alexisaasteel
    @alexisaasteel Před 6 lety +15

    That groove you play on the medium tuning section... it's amazing by itself, but your sound just makes it superior. Please keep making us all better drummers man. Can't get enough of your knoledge yet !

    That head sounds great at all three tunings. Beautiful Yamaha kit! Thanks for the review.

    @DoppelgangerShockwave Před 6 lety +7

    I was floored by its sound at the highest tension. I was surprised who lively and crisp it sounded. Will definitely be putting one on my snare. :)

  • @juliansmith5844
    @juliansmith5844 Před 6 lety +3

    This drum head has won my heart. I’ll be getting one quite shortly. By the way I absolutely love all of your videos. Your tips are very helpful and useful. Please keep them coming! 😎👍🏽

  • @Rockin_Ross
    @Rockin_Ross Před 2 lety +1

    I’ve been a fan of these since the 80’s and I can tell you, the reasons you gave for liking them are spot on.
    Disregard the silly comments that “they sound like cardboard boxes” as anyone saying that needs tuning lessons.
    I have the ebony coated on my 14x6 mahogany snare and it’s just perfect. Your snare is pretty deep too, so it shows just what this great head can do.

  • @giorez
    @giorez Před 6 lety +7

    Man, I just saw one of your videos on Ted Reed's Syncopation book from 2009. It's so cool to see how much you've grown as a musician and in your career.
    You inspire us all, Rob.
    Cheers.

  • @RazeTheWeak
    @RazeTheWeak Před 4 lety +1

    ROB! Just put this head on a 14x6.5 Pearl Masters today. Friend had it laying around and let me take it home. I was blown away! Gotta admit, I had already tried to talk myself into not liking it based on what others had said. When I first put hands on it I was shocked by how dead it sounded. Literally, sounded like a shower curtain. But there is something unique about it once it is on the snare. It can be tuned JAW and sound gushy without needing any external dampening, but where it really shines is when it is cranked up a bit. It cuts a lot of the higher registers outta the snare and you get a deep, warm, woody pop. It's durable as hell too. Can barely tell I was playing on it. Definitely keeping this head in the rotation.

    @turtlepurple9304 Před 5 lety +1

    i just watched this video . about a month ago i broke my snare batter head so i saw this red evens head . after playing the original blue hydraulic heads on all my kit but the kick about fifteen years ago i snapped it up straight away . and you are correct . it is bloody fantastic . just wish they came in purple to match my new purple craze reference kit by Pearl. another great vid. thankyou

  • @brianbash

  • @rossrinkenbaugh4005
    @rossrinkenbaugh4005 Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks for the review awesome video. I love the 2 key tuning method man, fast and easy. Also that Evans drum head seems like it could make any half way decent snare sound like gold.

  • @debbiehernandez5325

    @giannibadeau3344 Před 2 lety

    Hey Rob thanks for the lead on the moises app, love it. I use it for drum samples. Also love the new in-ears. They let more ambient drum sounds through so I can play to a click during band rehearsal. Thanks also will try the evans hydraulic heads!! Youre the best!!

  • @sarojaband4664
    @sarojaband4664 Před 6 lety +2

    Great overview Mr. Brown. Been playing Evans hydraulic heads for over 20 years. They're currently on the 12, 13, 14, 16, and 18" power toms on my original 1986 Tama Superstar drumset. Massive fundamental tone from the hydraulics, and they last a very long time compared to all other heads (almost 2 1/2 years since last head change!}. I play with fat Corpmaster drumsticks and hit rimshots on toms, and these heads take the pounding and rarely detune. I upgraded all the batter hoops to diecast and the tuning stability is excellent. Keep up the outstanding work Rob! Subscribed.

  • @mikepalmer2219

  • @mat4410
    @mat4410 Před rokem

    Used Hydraulics on all of my maple DWs to combat a serious acoustic problem and they sound great. I Remember these came from way back in the 70s with Steve Gadd using them on the Pearl Tom’s. The 360 technology and design is a welcome plus. I’m using UV1 on all of my snares…big change! Sound I never knew existed.
    Great channel Rob.

    I picked up two 22 inch EMAD and got just enough points to get one of these guys and an Evans shirt lol. Few more days and it will be here. I cant wait to try it out.

  • @PNW_Sportbike_Life
    @PNW_Sportbike_Life Před 6 lety +1

    Great sounding snare Rob, and cool ostinato groove on the med tension segment! I have never liked how Evans heads sound on my snares and I probably wouldn't try this one. I have a Gretsch 14x6.5 steel that gets a Remo Emperor, and a 14x7 Mapex Phat Bob, that also gets an Emperor. Cool Vid man; TY!

    • @RobBeatdownBrown
      @RobBeatdownBrown  Před 6 lety +1

      It's cool even if just to have for an option. Grab one!

  • @RA2Music
    @RA2Music Před 6 lety +1

    Great video as always Rob, thanks for it. Not a head I see myself using very often, but I agree that the UV technology Evans is using is really incredible. I am glad they are spreading the use of the tech to other lines. I would love for them to do the same with the Etched method from the J1’s, say on the Calftones for example (just a thought Evans). The head does seem surprisingly responsive to your ghost notes, something I generally find lacking in two ply, pre dampened heads in general. If you are looking for that fat, 70’s sound out of your drum this head should do it quite nicely.

    • @RobBeatdownBrown
      @RobBeatdownBrown  Před 6 lety +1

      You can't quite tune this head up as high as a UV1 or a Coated Ambassador, but this thing is surprisingly versatile considering how thick it is. And yea, the snare response kinda surprised me.

  • @W4RD1N8ER
    @W4RD1N8ER Před 5 lety

    My entire kit has these in Red although I wish I would have bought the coated snare I have one regular clear and the snare feels funny to me not too bad but I am used to coated skins always on my snare. I had a new HD dry on it before I might switch back or bite th bullet and get another new skin. I am extremely happy with these and will be playing these for some time not to mention my kit looks amazing with these on. I have played remo most of my life I really like Evans for feel and responsiveness I love my new hydraulics they are deep and thuddy if you pitch match the the reso and top they sing with the perfect amount off drop off no overtone issues. Use a tune bot you can’t go wrong!

  • @thunderfan77
    @thunderfan77 Před 6 lety +11

    I have clear Hydraulics over EC resos on all my toms and the black Hydraulic non coated on my snare over a Hazy 500. Throw in the EMAD Heavyweight on my kick and my entire kit sounds phenomenal! #MaximumThumpification

    • @zacflynn375
      @zacflynn375 Před 4 lety +1

      Holy shit I’m in the process of changing all new heads and other then my reso 7’s on the bottom Toms it will be exactly the same as yours! Haha! As I read this I was like “holy shit! This guy knows what’s up.” Haha

    • @jonhattanrai
      @jonhattanrai Před 2 lety

      I have almost the same on my kit. My snare is a ST Dry, and my other snare was a Blue Hydraulic, but it broke at 10 months and now I don't know if I want another Hydraulic for my snare. :/

    @XeRo333 Před 2 lety

    They need to apply this UV-Hydraulic combo from snares to all their toms too! Love how low and punchy the Hydraulic heads are and am blown away by the durability of the UV heads. Currently have a Heavyweight Dry on my snare and it has that UV coating and it didnt show any stick marks for at least the first 3 months or so. That right there says it all. Evans, please add this UV coating to the entire Hydraulic line

  • @matthewwhitaker4849
    @matthewwhitaker4849 Před rokem

    Would love to get some opinions on this... for a low tuning setting, do you prefer this head or a UV2 with an ERing for muffling the sound a bit?

    Sounds like 1 stop shop! Very versatile, like the quick tuning aspect. Bro, I used to play the hydraulic heads back in the late 70's early 80's on a snare but did ok on the snare. That thing is fab wherever you tune it. Tnx for the tip, can always count on ya!

  • @thomasnussbaum4711
    @thomasnussbaum4711 Před 6 lety

    Interesting! I've tested a red Hydraulic not long ago on a snare drum but it was too dry for my taste. But this one sounds totally different. It reminds me of vintage Brzezicki with the Pinstripe on the Super Sensitive, y'know? Or early Gould...

      The Hydraulic is Evans's best head in the entire lineup for low tunings

      Thanks, man. This is definitely a thick drumhead and you'll feel that under the stick when you play it, but it won't really hamper your playing. I'm used to 10mil skins on my snares so I did notice the difference. The cool thing is that it feels damn near bullet proof so you can really lay into those backbeats.
