The Generator series embodies CODE's robust approach: drumheads designed to last and withstand heavy playing. Available in sanded or clear versions, it is positioned as the manufacturer's most durable range, prioritizing control, precision, and consistent tone, both live and in recording.
This pack is aimed at ambitious beginner drummers as well as experienced musicians seeking a clear and predictable response. Ideal for styles requiring clear articulation and a clean sound image-modern jazz, fusion, rock, pop-it suits versatile contexts from rehearsals to TV performances.
Each Generator drumhead uses a double 7.5 mil ply ensuring tuning stability and enhanced durability. The sanded finish optimizes brush grip and softens transients. A peripheral control ring equips the series to channel harmonics and shorten sustain, while aluminum hoops contribute to tuning stability and projection. The pack includes a bass drum patch to reinforce attack and durability, plus a bonus DNA 14 snare drumhead. Clear versions feature a glued outer ring for total vibration control without muting, and can be paired with DNA Clear resonant heads or Reso Ring (RR) depending on the desired damping level.
The Generator Sanded heads deliver an open, warm, and crisp sound: a precise attack that cuts through the mix, present mids, and naturally short sustain for clear toms and a responsive snare. The "measured and controlled" resonance facilitates placement in the recording chain without heavy processing. On the bass drum, the addition of the patch enhances beater impact and definition while extending head life.
