The Evans Hydraulic 14" Black Coated Snare Batter brings back the classic fat, deep, short snare sound that defined rock drummers throughout the 1970s. Built with two plies of film with a thin layer of oil between them, Hydraulics naturally control overtones and deliver a focused, punchy attack with minimal sustain.
This coated version adds Evans’ frost finish for extra warmth, depth, and dark character—ideal for rock, funk, or any style that needs tight, controlled snare tone. Thanks to the Level 360 collar, these heads tune easily and seat well on any snare drum.
