The EVANS Hydraulic Blue snare head features two plies of 7-mil film with a thin layer of oil in between, offering maximum durability, along with a fat, deep and short sound pioneered by early ’70s rock and roll. Hydraulics are famously easy to tune, making them a great fix for troublesome drums. EVANS Level 360 technology is incorporated to extend the level playing surface of the drum head, 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in easy tuning, extended pitch range and optimum quality of sound. EVANS Level 360 technology resolves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting the drum shell without using considerable force.
