I currently have Hydraulics over Reso glass on my Swingstar kit. Personally I like the set up. It's low and heavy with very minimal sustain.
Hey guys, I just wish to pick your brains before I try something out.
I currently have EC2s over EC Resos on 12" and 14" toms on my Tama Rockstar kit. I have had the EC2s on now for 7/8 months and I'm going to change them out before my next session in the studio next week.
I managed to get a steal on ebay and got two Evans Hydraulic heads for the toms few a few pounds, so firstly does anyone know what sound I should expect from Hydraulic batter over EC Reso?
Secondly I also have a Resonant Glass head for my 14" which has been sat around doing nothing for a while and whilst I don't need to change my EC Resos I wondered if anyone knew what to expect from Hydraulic over reso glass as I wonder if the Hydraulic over EC Reso is going to be too much thud on my 14"?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike.

Cheers Marko, thats kinda what I expected, I have found that my rockstars don't sound as good as they once did when tuned low, and thats kinda why I went for the EC2 over EC Reso to be able to tune a little higher but cut the sustain and still have a thud.

The hydraulics give a real 70's super muffled sound, without external dampening. They have their fans. I used them without resonants on my first kit. They have a sweet sound without resonants.
