About Code Drumheads

Code Drumheads was founded in the UK with a clear ambition: to create drum heads that compete with the world's best at a price that more drummers can afford. In a market long dominated by American manufacturers, Code has carved out a distinctive position by focusing on musical tone, consistent quality and a genuine understanding of what drummers actually need from their heads.

The Generator Coated is Code's most versatile head — a single-ply coated design that delivers the warm, open, sensitive response that drummers have loved since the earliest days of recorded music. The coating adds a subtle warmth and controls overtones without deadening the head, making it equally at home in a jazz trio, a recording studio or a live rock band. Paired with the Reso Ring resonant head, the Generator creates a complete tom sound that is musical, balanced and easy to tune.

The Sterling Coated snare head takes a similar philosophy and applies it to the snare drum — a position where head choice has a profound effect on the overall character of the kit. The Sterling delivers a crisp, articulate attack with a warm, musical body that sits beautifully in a mix without requiring heavy processing.

Code's Deluxe Snare Wires with brass ends are a thoughtful complement to their head range. The brass end plates provide a secure, consistent contact point with the snare head, while the wire specification is tuned for maximum sensitivity across the full dynamic range — from the lightest ghost notes to the hardest backbeats.
