Evans 12" Hydraulic Blue Tom Head
gsplcu 13.05.2021
I mounted this head on my Mapex Armory 12" tom.
The product looks beautiful (it blends amazingly with the aquamarine colour of my drumset) and, according to my taste and feel, it sounds great. It offers the typical '70s/'80s classic rock and hard rock sound, which are the genres I mainly play alongside grunge and heavy metal (which the head is still great for).
I've had it for a long time now and still looks perfect, undoubtedly it's a quality product and also resistant.
I would choose it for hard rock and heavier music styles, though not for jazz or softer genres (even if it still does the job just fine).

Looks Great and Sounds Almost As Good
Anonymous 06.08.2015
Bought purely for aesthetic purposes these heads have provided me with mixed feelings. To start with they look stunning especially when used on a kit with a complimentary colour like my blonde kit. In terms of the tone you can get from the head, it is very very warm and rich with less of an attack. Tuning is very easy with these heads if you want mid-high sounding toms - if you want a low tone I'm not sure these heads work as well as some others, if a low tone is what you are after I would suggest an Evans EC2's. I struggle to get as low a tone from these heads as I would like and often end up with a dull and dead sound. In terms of durability they are very good indeed and stand up to some heavy hitting and weather very well. All in all I think that they look stunning but quality of sound may not match it. I'd strongly suggest EC2's as an alternative.

Very specific and interesting sound...
Anonymous 05.12.2014
I bought these heads for a very specific project I was working on. The fact that they look super cool is just a happy and welcome bonus. They offer a very fat, wet sound on toms that can give you great scope for exploring different recording techniques. Or if you just want to get a wet sounding head with loads of low end presence and just about enough punch to get by. It certainly won't be to everyone's taste but it's a very interesting sound, worth exploring. As an additional bonus they are extraordinarily easy to tune, and (as long as you're not a really heavy hitter) to keep in tune.
