wayyyy too dead for my liking. but if its what you want, go for it
i'd reccomend the aquarian force 10s though, theyre 20mil thick (2x10mil plies) but arent as "dead" IMO
Hi, I want to replace the stock heads on a Tama Swingstar kit I picked up used. Looking for a classic/hard rock sound.
Thinking about Evans hydraulic heads.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
Well ..... it certainly was ONE of the classic sounds. If fat, deep, short tone is what you're striving for .... they'll do it. A little too muffled for my tastes. Even the Pinstripe (which I think is a tad fuller). The only drums I really used/liked pinstripes on, were acrylic shells (Zickos & Ludwig Vistalites) and Remo Roto Toms. I'm more a fan of Emperors or Powerstroke3's over Ambassadors.Hi, I want to replace the stock heads on a Tama Swingstar kit I picked up used. Looking for a classic/hard rock sound.
yep it is, the laer of oil really kills the overtones, and IMO, the tone of the drum as well.From what I could find online the Evans are two 7 mil plys with a layer of oil. Maybe it's the oil that deadens the Evan's sound more than the Aquarians. But the Aquarians are thicker.

You can make your own hydraulics by spreading vegetable oil on your drum heads.
You're welcome.
