Presented as CODE's most durable series, this batter head follows the line of transparent heads with integrated control. It ranks at the top of the brand's durability spectrum, designed for drummers seeking endurance and consistent sound.
Designed for intermediate to expert drummers requiring precise and stable response, it is also suitable for beginners looking for a forgiving tuning head. Its attack/sustain balance makes it a reliable choice for jazz, fusion, rock, and pop, in rehearsal, live, and recording settings.
The 7.5 mil double ply on both inner and outer layers (total 15 mil) increases longevity and reduces unwanted vibrations. The glued outer ring provides full harmonic control while preserving the liveliness of the strike. The transparent construction facilitates tuning and consistency across multi-tom kits. Paired with a CODE "DNA Clear" resonant head, it maintains depth; with a Reso Ring (RR), it produces a more muted tone for a dense mix.
When played with sticks, the head delivers a quick attack and immediate crack, followed by a measured and controlled sustain. The register remains open and warm to preserve the shell's character, while the ring channels harmonics for a clear and easily mic'd note. The result: toms that cut through the mix without harshness, with clear projection and perfect hold both live and in the studio.
