Code Drum Head GENERATOR COATED TOM 14"

Description

Essential Information About the CODE Double-Ply 14 in Coated Tom Head

  • Double ply 15 mil with glued outer ring for precise harmonic control and short sustain.
  • Coated finish for a smoother sound, emphasized lows, and less brightness than clear heads.
  • Quick and deep attack, measured resonance: ideal for both studio and stage.
  • Versatile for jazz, fusion, rock, and pop, used as a tom batter head.

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Designed as one of the most durable series in the CODE line, this head aims for reliability and tuning consistency. It belongs to the brand's "double-ply" offering, created for drummers seeking enhanced control without sacrificing sound openness.

Who This Head Is For

Perfect for demanding beginner, intermediate, and professional drummers, it suits those who want an easy-to-tame tom, resistant to proximity feedback, and ready for mixing. Its versatility makes it relevant from contemporary jazz to fusion, as well as modern rock and pop.

Features and Innovations

Its 2-ply 7.5 mil + 7.5 mil construction provides durability and stability. The glued outer ring controls unwanted harmonics without completely muting the head's vibration. The coated texture enhances brush response and softens the high frequencies for a more matte and focused sound image, with a firm attack and naturally short sustain.

Sound Characteristics

The coated finish delivers a "velvety" grain that highlights the low mids while reducing harsh brightness. The result is a warm and crisp tone, with controlled projection and excellent note definition. At medium tuning, the head remains open yet controlled; at low tuning, it maintains a solid foundation without flabbiness. Compared to a clear head, the sound is smoother, less sparkling, with better-set lows and a denser attack.
