Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The "Vintage" series by CODE draws inspiration from classic sanded drumheads that shaped the sounds of past decades. It aims to recapture that organic character while offering the reliability and stability of modern materials. Within the range, it is positioned as the retro-grain option, designed for drummers seeking warmth and musicality without sacrificing precision.
Who This Drumhead Set Is For
Ideal for
beginner to intermediate drummers looking for an expressive and adaptable response. Its balance suits
jazz, fusion, and rock styles, as well as general contexts, whether in rehearsal rooms, studios, or live performances.
Features and Innovations
Each drumhead is a
single 10 mil ply with a sanded coating that optimizes attack and promotes warm harmonics. The
aluminum hoops ensure tuning stability and durability. The
DNA Coated+ treatment provides a pleasant feel for brushes, excellent grip for sticks, and controlled projection. The pack includes tom diameters 10/12/14 in and comes with a complimentary 14 in snare drumhead to harmonize the kit.
Sound Characteristics
The sanding adds that typical felted veil found in classic recordings: a
round low end,
singing mids, and
softened highs. The single 10 mil ply allows the shell to breathe, offering good openness and a clear attack, while sustain remains medium to keep the kit clear in the mix. With brushes, the texture is silky and detailed; with heavier sticks, the attack stays precise without becoming harsh, and the harmonics remain musical.
