Evans Hydraulic Glass — Oil-Dampened Power with a Clear Look
The Evans Hydraulic Glass delivers the same oil-filled, internally dampened construction that defines the Hydraulic series — the thick, punchy, ring-controlled attack that works so powerfully in dense live and studio mixes — with a clear top film instead of the coloured options. The Hydraulic Glass is the choice for drummers who want the Hydraulic sound but prefer to let the natural drum shell and bearing edge remain visible without a tinted film covering them.
The sealed oil layer between the two clear plies provides the same consistent, even internal dampening regardless of temperature or how hard you hit. The result is a controlled, punchy, dry tom tone on a head that looks as clean and classic as a standard clear batter. Ideal for drummers who value sound performance above visual distinction.
-
Oil-Filled Construction: Sealed oil layer between two plies provides internal dampening — dry, powerful attack with minimal ring.
-
Clear Top Film: The classic see-through look without the colour tint — shell and bearing edge remain visible.
-
No External Dampening: The built-in oil layer handles muting duties — no tape, no gels, no fuss.
