*HEY FRIENDS! A bit late, but still as promised. Check out the new Evans UV Red Hydraulic snare head and drop a thought below!* 🔴🙂
Rob Brown sounds Dope! Really enjoyed the video! All tunings sound amazing! Nicely done ✅
Rob Brown great now I have to get a 14 inch snare lol
I have the ebony coated version of this on my 14.
I've used these heads since the 80's and have taken a bit of ribbing over it from other drummers.
"So you like the sound of cardboard boxes huh?" Is what I usually get. But I've found these tune up beautifully and last much longer under regular use.
Great video as always my thumpification brother. You're truly inspirational.
Ross Gillis I use the uncoated red ones one the 10 and 13 rooms on my little premier artist birch club kit. They control the ringing and make them perfect for small venues and smallish outdoor gigs.
Ross Gillis they just sound so fat and perfect
The coolest drummer on YT AND a seinfeld fan? This is too much win for me
That groove you play on the medium tuning section... it's amazing by itself, but your sound just makes it superior. Please keep making us all better drummers man. Can't get enough of your knoledge yet !
Well, I love the sound of this snare head BUT, more than that, I LOVE the sound of your playing it!! You give me ideas of how and what to play every time I hear you. Thanks!!
Man, I just saw one of your videos on Ted Reed's Syncopation book from 2009. It's so cool to see how much you've grown as a musician and in your career.
You inspire us all, Rob.
Cheers.
Thanks for that encouragement, man. Pace! ✌🏽🙂
Yup, I've been putting hydraulic's on my drums since the 80's!
Mark Richer damn thats epic
I have clear Hydraulics over EC resos on all my toms and the black Hydraulic non coated on my snare over a Hazy 500. Throw in the EMAD Heavyweight on my kick and my entire kit sounds phenomenal! #MaximumThumpification
Holy shit I’m in the process of changing all new heads and other then my reso 7’s on the bottom Toms it will be exactly the same as yours! Haha! As I read this I was like “holy shit! This guy knows what’s up.” Haha
I have almost the same on my kit. My snare is a ST Dry, and my other snare was a Blue Hydraulic, but it broke at 10 months and now I don't know if I want another Hydraulic for my snare. :/
Rob! Love the shirt! Hilarious!
I was floored by its sound at the highest tension. I was surprised who lively and crisp it sounded. Will definitely be putting one on my snare. :)
ROB! Just put this head on a 14x6.5 Pearl Masters today. Friend had it laying around and let me take it home. I was blown away! Gotta admit, I had already tried to talk myself into not liking it based on what others had said. When I first put hands on it I was shocked by how dead it sounded. Literally, sounded like a shower curtain. But there is something unique about it once it is on the snare. It can be tuned JAW and sound gushy without needing any external dampening, but where it really shines is when it is cranked up a bit. It cuts a lot of the higher registers outta the snare and you get a deep, warm, woody pop. It's durable as hell too. Can barely tell I was playing on it. Definitely keeping this head in the rotation.
I love your passion...... I am not a stalker. Honest.
shout out to Vandelay Industries!
The world's leading importer/exporter
I have always wanted to pretend to be an architect
I’ve been a fan of these since the 80’s and I can tell you, the reasons you gave for liking them are spot on.
Disregard the silly comments that “they sound like cardboard boxes” as anyone saying that needs tuning lessons.
I have the ebony coated on my 14x6 mahogany snare and it’s just perfect. Your snare is pretty deep too, so it shows just what this great head can do.
That head sounds great at all three tunings. Beautiful Yamaha kit! Thanks for the review.
Bangin man! Vanadelay industries!
This drum head has won my heart. I’ll be getting one quite shortly. By the way I absolutely love all of your videos. Your tips are very helpful and useful. Please keep them coming! 😎👍🏽
Love that Evan's hydraulic head! I am going to get one. I wished it came in green...thanks for the demo!!
I'm loving that
sound when it was time to the floor nice pop and I am a fan of it being Red
Awesome sounds from that head! Thanks for showing it off!
Great overview Mr. Brown. Been playing Evans hydraulic heads for over 20 years. They're currently on the 12, 13, 14, 16, and 18" power toms on my original 1986 Tama Superstar drumset. Massive fundamental tone from the hydraulics, and they last a very long time compared to all other heads (almost 2 1/2 years since last head change!}. I play with fat Corpmaster drumsticks and hit rimshots on toms, and these heads take the pounding and rarely detune. I upgraded all the batter hoops to diecast and the tuning stability is excellent. Keep up the outstanding work Rob! Subscribed.
Thanks much! Welcome to the channel 🙂
Very cool head. To be fair tho, I'm pretty sure that snare would still sound good with Saran wrap on it 🤔
On high tuning sounds particularly dry (Maybe that happens on all heads but not a percussionist here!) and on low tuning sounds pretty good for rock and OG funk... Greetings sir
I’m immediately going to get that drum head and that Seinfeld shirt.
I have been looking for a new snare head, this is just what I am looking for.
I’ll check out that Evans snare head... you gotta let me know where you got that killer T-shirt! Diggin’ it! 👍
Oh yeah!!! I love the low tuning!
Your the only one on here that makes sense man !! Dig all your Vids n learned !!
I have the hold set..10.12.14.16.18 in red..and another 14 snare in blue..looks and sounds great..
Do me a favour please Rob?? Tell Evans to add PURPLE to their hydraulic colours for gawd sake!!! (And add 10” to this UV Hydraulic … In PURPLE of course!!)
i just watched this video . about a month ago i broke my snare batter head so i saw this red evens head . after playing the original blue hydraulic heads on all my kit but the kick about fifteen years ago i snapped it up straight away . and you are correct . it is bloody fantastic . just wish they came in purple to match my new purple craze reference kit by Pearl. another great vid. thankyou
How do these compare sound wise to clear 2pl batter snare heads..eg. Emperors.
Yo Rob! I've got myself a Red Hydraulic to replace my 30+year old blue hydraulic head. (Long lay off from playing but starting again and renovating my old kit. What I'd like to know is what snare side head did you have on when you recorded this video?
Dude that's about the coolest snare head/sound ever. I'm going to get one myself when they bring out the 13. I think I have a 13 inch snare.... Maybe I better go measure it...
Just put the black one on my maple Gretsch snare drum. I'm thinking of putting one on all my snare drums, they're that good.
Hey can you tell me what sustain/exho/reverb you are using during the recording? I keep hear the runout of it after you stop playing.
I bought one. Really good head but... it takes some sound and attack away..I'm going back to old school.
Great sounding snare Rob, and cool ostinato groove on the med tension segment! I have never liked how Evans heads sound on my snares and I probably wouldn't try this one. I have a Gretsch 14x6.5 steel that gets a Remo Emperor, and a 14x7 Mapex Phat Bob, that also gets an Emperor. Cool Vid man; TY!
Finally, someone that issue a low tuning that actually still sounds good. 99% of the time in videos when they “tune low” on a snare, it sounds absolutely terrible.
Just come across this vid. Not sure how I missed it. Gettin one of these for my red Radio King
Great video! I love your Vandelay Industries t-shirt!!
That head is FANTASTIC!!!!
They do sound so much better and I'm just a beginner at this too!!!
Amazing, what ride is that? Sounds beautiful
👍🏻
I want to buy it to fit my wood snare to get a new sound a deep fat sound plus my BFSD 🤝
Thanks for the review awesome video. I love the 2 key tuning method man, fast and easy. Also that Evans drum head seems like it could make any half way decent snare sound like gold.
Man, that snare is killin it, and so are you man!
Nice sound! Great drummer....and latex salesman 😆😎
Hey, do you think you can put in a good word for me at Vandelay Industries? I've been trying to get a job there.
Art’s not hiring at the moment. Released half the staff ‘cuz of COVID
@@RobBeatdownBrown Oh well thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll pursue my dream of becoming a Marine Biologist.
😆
Low to medium low tuning is what I’m going for 🤝 thanks
Do i have to put the same oiled 2 layered head underneath snare or toms to avoid sustain and buzzing?
Such a hot head!
Lovin' that red color and that great sound
Since i got this head my ghost note suck its to thick for fancy stuff i try to get use to it because its sound amazing
Oh yesss, time for head swaps.
Man, I would love to hear your band.
Great video as always Rob, thanks for it. Not a head I see myself using very often, but I agree that the UV technology Evans is using is really incredible. I am glad they are spreading the use of the tech to other lines. I would love for them to do the same with the Etched method from the J1’s, say on the Calftones for example (just a thought Evans). The head does seem surprisingly responsive to your ghost notes, something I generally find lacking in two ply, pre dampened heads in general. If you are looking for that fat, 70’s sound out of your drum this head should do it quite nicely.
You can't quite tune this head up as high as a UV1 or a Coated Ambassador, but this thing is surprisingly versatile considering how thick it is. And yea, the snare response kinda surprised me.
Rob is the hydraulic head good for a metal snare drum
it took me a minute to notice the shirt LOL. AWESOME!
Been eye-ing 👁 one of these. Sold now. Great review man.
6 minutes in before I noticed the AV t shirt. Awesome.
You never mentioned brush response. Hello!
I love the mid tunning 😁
Great drum head looks great too
I am definitely gonna be getting one of these soon! We are about release an EP and self record. This is awesome! Thanks man!
VANDELAYYYYYYY!!!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for the video, especially going through the different tuning. That was very helpful!
Keep rockin!
🤘😎🤘
🥁🥁🥁
Your a beast Bro
Ahhh! So excited...get a “new” kit on Saturday after being away for a couple of years and sir, you get me so pumped! I can’t wait to practice my doubles as you instructed! 🤘
Hope your new kit's a red one 😉🔴
Does it work with brushes?
They need to apply this UV-Hydraulic combo from snares to all their toms too! Love how low and punchy the Hydraulic heads are and am blown away by the durability of the UV heads. Currently have a Heavyweight Dry on my snare and it has that UV coating and it didnt show any stick marks for at least the first 3 months or so. That right there says it all. Evans, please add this UV coating to the entire Hydraulic line
Hey Rob, I realize that this video is from 2018 but I’ll ask my question anyway. I read recent reviews that the top layer on these coated snare heads ripped or cracked very easily, after not too many days of playing? Thanks 😊
I picked up two 22 inch EMAD and got just enough points to get one of these guys and an Evans shirt lol. Few more days and it will be here. I cant wait to try it out.
Love this!
Would love to get some opinions on this... for a low tuning setting, do you prefer this head or a UV2 with an ERing for muffling the sound a bit?
My entire kit has these in Red although I wish I would have bought the coated snare I have one regular clear and the snare feels funny to me not too bad but I am used to coated skins always on my snare. I had a new HD dry on it before I might switch back or bite th bullet and get another new skin. I am extremely happy with these and will be playing these for some time not to mention my kit looks amazing with these on. I have played remo most of my life I really like Evans for feel and responsiveness I love my new hydraulics they are deep and thuddy if you pitch match the the reso and top they sing with the perfect amount off drop off no overtone issues. Use a tune bot you can’t go wrong!
Big Rob! I just bought an old Slingerland Radio King and I’m thinking about slapping one of these on it. Whatcha think? Sounding good,bruh...
Where is your bass?
i got all the Hydro heads and a Emad bass head Gr8 stuff for me , no more having to use sticky hands , go to mWalmart and type in sticky toys the sticky toys make gr8 drum dampeners and r cheep !
Too bad they don't come in orange, because my kit is orange with one black tom, so it would look cool to put black heads on the orange toms and an orange one on the black tom :-)
Hello thank you very much for this vid, can you advise me for resonant heads on toms which could go with UV1 Many thanks in advance
Would you say these heads lowered the snare volume slightly?
Compared to a single ply head, yea. But not enough to worry too much about, and certainly nuthin a mic can’t make up for.
Wow - the low example blew me away - are you doing any eq'ing or compressing on it? Sold. Gonna try it out on my 10" and 13" snares.
Used Hydraulics on all of my maple DWs to combat a serious acoustic problem and they sound great. I Remember these came from way back in the 70s with Steve Gadd using them on the Pearl Tom’s. The 360 technology and design is a welcome plus. I’m using UV1 on all of my snares…big change! Sound I never knew existed.
Great channel Rob.
Thanks!! I love it! Do you know if it was made for 13" snares? I was checking on some web sites and only find the blue coated for 14... thanx
Rob, Do you adjust the snare side head when you adjust the batter head? Or is the snare side left at the same tuned level.
I have been using hydraulics for years! Awesome heads!
Rob you are too cool man, oh and I have that vic firth leather stick bag you have in the background too! I love it lol
Excellent tutorials & advice. Where can I get one of these heads in the UK 🇬🇧? Thanks
I haven't triedtheUV1 on anyof my snares but I'm planning to.
Was that a live custom kit in the gig video? If so, what’s your thoughts on those drums?
That’s a Yamaha Phoenix kit. Crazy expensive. Sounds awesome. They are very heavy in weight drums.
That was a Live Custom at the club, yea. It's their house kit. I love the LCs, man. One of the thumpiest kicks out there.
I don't know about the other heads but I tried the hydrolic kick on a buddies kick and I was pleasantly surprised at how it sounded, especially with little to no internal muffling
I will be picking one up for my maple 5.5 x 14👍🏻😎
Good video
Been wanting the blue one for a while but read a lot reviews on them breaking prematurely just after a little bit of playing.
Wonder if Evans fixed that issue.
Great review as always Rob. What are your thoughts of the regular hydraulics for acrylic toms? As opposed to the EC2’s? I just picked up a new set of acrylics and looking for the right tom sound. Thank you!
I love your shirt. That company is a great latex manufacturer
Hey Rob thanks for the lead on the moises app, love it. I use it for drum samples. Also love the new in-ears. They let more ambient drum sounds through so I can play to a click during band rehearsal. Thanks also will try the evans hydraulic heads!! Youre the best!!
WOW.
I have one. Love it.
I was researching what kind of heads to put on my grand daughters drums she recently got and this were high up on my list so far but I think this just put them at the top.
Just ordered a black one for my TAMA stagestar share drum
This head just makes a great practice head too since it'll last long :D
Gonna drop my cash on the hydraulic heads!
What tom heads do you use?
