{"product_id":"evans-tt16hbg-hydraulic-noire-16-251789","title":"TT16HBG - HYDRAULIC BLACK 16","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHydraulic\u003c\/strong\u003e series is one of Evans' iconic lines, designed to offer natural harmonic control without additional accessories. With its black aesthetic and oil-layer concept between two plies, it follows a \"plug and play\" approach: quickly achieving a dense, controlled, and coherent sound while maintaining high durability. Evans, innovating for over 60 years in synthetic drumhead design and ranges that have become benchmarks, positions the Hydraulic as a reliable choice for drummers seeking a direct, stable sound that is easy to manage both on stage and in rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e16-inch tom head\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at both \u003cstrong\u003ebeginner\u003c\/strong\u003e drummers and \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e musicians who want simple tuning and immediate results. It is particularly suited to styles where a low, short, and impactful tom sound is desired: \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, punk, energetic pop, and more broadly any situation where unwanted resonance needs to be minimized. It is also a relevant option for drums that are difficult to stabilize or when prioritizing a controlled sound right from the first tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hydraulic's principle is based on a \u003cstrong\u003edouble-ply\u003c\/strong\u003e construction with a \u003cstrong\u003ethin oil layer\u003c\/strong\u003e sandwiched between, which naturally dampens vibrations and significantly reduces sustain. The result is a \"drier,\" more compact sound with an immediate sense of control, without needing to add a dampening ring. The \u003cstrong\u003eLevel 360\u003c\/strong\u003e technology improves the head's seating on the bearing edge, promoting more uniform contact and faster tuning, while helping to achieve more consistent tension across the entire shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a 16-inch tom, the Evans Hydraulic Black emphasizes a \u003cstrong\u003elow fundamental\u003c\/strong\u003e and a sharp attack, with clearly contained harmonics. The oil between the plies acts as an integrated damper: the note is shorter, more \"muted,\" and remains very clear in a dense mix (distorted guitars, present bass). It easily delivers the famous \u003cstrong\u003eearly 70s rock character\u003c\/strong\u003e: a massive, round, and punchy tom that fills the space without lingering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black finish reinforces the series' \"big controlled sound\" positioning while providing a sleek and effective look on any setup. If you're looking for a head that saves you tuning time and maintains a consistent sound from gig to gig, this Hydraulic is a safe bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSmooth\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShaping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTwin Ply\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e16 \u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHydraulic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 plies with a thin oil layer between the two films\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eouter ply 0.18 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eLevel 360\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Evans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361914769683,"sku":"251789","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/03a586dde83fab013c818c103b1016f722f6bcce_EVANS_DRUMHEADS_TT16HBG.jpg?v=1787431559","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/evans-tt16hbg-hydraulic-black-16-251789","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
