## Overview

The Evans B14HBG Hydraulic 14-inch Snare Drum Head features a patented oil layer between two film plies to suppress overtones, combined with a frost coating that enhances warmth and focus.

Designed for drummers seeking the classic fat, deep, and short snare tone of early rock, this black-coated head is precision-engineered in the USA for professional-grade performance.

## Description

Evans Hydraulic snare batter heads give you the fat, deep, short sound pioneered by rock and roll drummers in the 1970s. Made with a thin layer of oil between two plies of 7 mil film (6.5mil & 7.5mil for Hydraulic Black), these frost coated heads not only suppress unwanted overtones, but are also famously easy to tune. Hydraulics have a defined attack, short sustain, and dark tonal character—plus extra warmth, focus, and depth, thanks to Evans frost coating. This coated drumhead also features Level 360 Technology and is available in red, blue, and black.

Review: The sound of this head was really great. I've only played about 5 hours since getting it a month ago. It still sounds better than my last head, but I'm disappointed it didn't last longer. There are mixed reviews so maybe I just got a defective one, but I won't be trying these heads out again on my snare, maybe the toms.
Review: Ottimo prodotto. Ho risolto i miei problemi legati agli armonici fastidiosi amplificati dalla stanza. Ho cambiato diverse pelli (dalle mono alle bistrato, anche con suono controllato) ma ottenendo solo leggeri miglioramenti (rullante in legno 14" x 5,5") Otiima per bacchette e rods; per una buona risposta nell'uso delle spazzole (con fili in metallo), basta usarla un pò ( a me dopo 4-5 gg. scivolavano bene); per le spazzole con fili di nylon, invece, tutto bene sin dall'inizio. Ben impressionato dalla risposta del prodotto, ho acquistato anche le altre nelle dimensioni 10" - 12"- 14" per toms e timpano. Come sempre ottimo il servizio desertcart (confezione e tempi di consegna). Soddisfatto.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I get this head in white 14 Hydraulic snare?**
A: Haven’t seen them in white, only black, red and blue

**Q: The head in the picture is not level 360 (no "level 360" stamp) but description says it has level 360. which is accurate? picture or item description?**
A: All the Evans heads use the 360 technology these days so they dropped it from the markings on the heads. If it's a current product it has 360, and will state it on the box but not on the head itself.

**Q: Is the photo accurate - does it really look like it has bubbles in it when it's tuned/tightened on the drum?**
A: Yes. The picture is a very accurate depiction, even when torqued.

**Q: I'm fairly new to playing the drums will this hydraulic drum head give me a good sound i need for a new bee.  thank you**
A: This snare is amazing For rock! If you're looking to have a really have snare hit on 2 and 4 then this is your thing. If you want a more versatile snare I'd reccomend a reverse dot head or along those lines
