Questions & Answers
No, because they're thicker, and reso heads require only one ply.
Rock has 10", 12", and 16" head packs, while Standard has 12", 13", and 16" head packs. Fusion is also available in three sizes: ten, twelve, and fourteen inches.
You can, but you don't have to. To get the sound you want, use the hardware that came with the drum and tighten or loosen it as needed.
I'm not sure what I'd do if I were you. My sound is best when there are no resonate heads.
Selected User Reviews For Evans Hydraulic Glass Tompack, Fusion (10 inch, 12 inch, 14 inch)
Easy to tune, nice appearance, well-controlled sound, a little more ring than I'd like, but better than the Calftones I'd previously worn. br>Pinstripes have a little more ring control. br>It appears that I still require a dead ringer for my 12" tom, despite the fact that my 10" and 14" floor toms do not require ringers. That could be my drum, or it could be something else entirely. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> The resonant head on the 12" tom was the problem, causing the drum to sound huge and hollow. br>I lowered the volume, and it now sounds the same as the others. br>WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA!.
Evans Hydraulic heads are the second set I've purchased. I've been playing drums for 56 years and believe these heads are among the best, though I prefer to dampen my toms depending on the venue. Hydraulic heads produce a crisp, heavy sound that does not require manual damping. With great success, I used my first Evans hydraulic heads on a maple set of drums. I've been playing birch drums for the majority of my gigs for the past ten years, and these heads have made a huge difference in the sound I was looking for. These guys are unbeatable!.
Without any additional dampening, it gives my Yamaha Stage custom toms just the right amount of resonance. I play in a small 10x10 room, and these heads make the drums sing without the horrible overtones that clear or coated heads produce. I tune in just past the wrinkle-free zone. I put a point on these heads and played them for a month (about 3 hours per week), and they show no signs of wear.
These are genuine hydraulic heads, as described. Between the two plies, there is a really effective dampening oil. If you want a warmer, more refined sound with built-in overtone reduction, these are the headphones for you. Individually, they're a good buy, but in this three-pack, they're even better. Each item is safely packaged and shipped from the factory.
These were purchased for use on a low-cost pulse drum practice set for a small community band. This set had a few different sets of heads before we put these on, and it never sounded as good as it does now. Despite the fact that it is not a high-end set, the conductor had to stop dead in her tracks to ensure we did not bring out our good concert set. Tonality, response, and tuning simplicity are all very impressive. I would strongly recommend these because if they can make the practice junk drum sound this good, I can't wait to use them on the high-end set. I used Evan G1 resonate heads to pair them with.
I recently bought a drum set with toms that could be heard for days. This is fantastic for live performances, but it's way too much for practice and recording. I tried the hydraulic blue on the low tom and it sounded like pounding a washtub, way too dead for my taste, so I thought I'd try the glass since they're known for brighter attack, and it was exactly that. br> They have a bright long sustain for a dampened head even when tuned high. Tuning these batter heads low and the resonant heads even lower produced the perfect chest thumping sound for heavier styles. All of this allows these musicians to cover nearly any genre in small venues and practice spaces. These aren't for you if your kit doesn't have a lot of resonance or if you don't like muffling in your tuning. br> For those interested in trying out the Evans Hydraulic line, I own them all and they are divided into the following categories: br>Glass is a type of material that can be used to create a variety of different things. Open; Blue - Muffled; Black - Dead.
Our drummer is playing on a vintage Pearl drum set. We had the original skins on them, but he requested that the heads be replaced with these. Because it was my kit, I went straight for the heads, which he installed. br> The tone of the music shifted dramatically. It's so much richer and more profound. I'm not sure if the originals were worn out, dried up, or something else, but these were a relatively inexpensive upgrade that significantly improved the sound.
