Where are you located? We have plenty of Evans blue hydraulics in stock ready to ship. Let us know your retailer name and we will contact them. Thanks, Rick
As is shown in my info, I am in Norman, OK. When I was in the market, no one in Norman or even the entire OKC area stocked Evans blue hydraulics. They could all order them. I wound up finding them on line from a tip from one of the drum web sites I am on. I have purchased what I need. But I have three questions:
1: Last year at Tulsa's The Big Beat - Drum Day, where I had my first Zickos set, I met a rep from Evans who told me after I showed him my kit (as I suspected) that Evans made the original blue hydraulic heads for Zickos with the Zickos logo on them. Is this true?
2:The original heads had plastic counter hoops and I had one separate rendering it useless. I replaced it with an Evans and all was well. My second set that that I pieced together didn't have blue heads and I put new Evans heads on it. At first they sounded very dull and lifeless to the extent that I almost replaced them, but over time they have come alive and are giving me the sound I like. Do you have any explanation for this?
3: My favorite sticks are Regal 5-B Maple and I have not found any other manufacturer that makes a comparable stick. I understand that Regal is discontinuing this model. I even went out and bought 9 pair so I would have them for a while. I don't go through sticks very often, so they should last me a while.. Any chance Pro Mark might pick it up in the future?
