Quick Review - Code Drum Heads - Barney Clements, Doomicidal

29/10/2018

Barney has been using Code heads for a few months now, recently putting new heads on his kit:
Zero on the snare,
Law donut dot on the toms and a
Blast on the bass drum.

He's also used a Sterling on a second snare.

Barney plays with Doomicidal - described as "70's inspired doom with psychedelic touches".

"I stumbled across Code by accident, but I'm glad I did.
The build quality is on par with the big boys but cheaper, it's easy to get a great sound with them and they look pretty smart.
The Sterling turned my cheap snare into a total heavy metal monster.
What's not to like about them? "

Code Customer Case Study: Paddy Davies, DV8

22/10/2018

UK-based Code have spent the past few years developing their range of heads and accessories, and are quickly becoming popular.

They've had amazing reviews in Rhythm magazine this year, and have performed well against the long-established head companies in sound tests by Drummers Review.

Code have plenty of endorsees singing their praises, but what about regular players like you...?
Here's what Dave's Drums customer, Paddy (who drums with covers band DV8), has to say about his switch to Code.

"Since my switch to Code drum heads I have not played anything else.

"I previously only played Evans G2, and thought I would not switch to anything else ever again.
However after reading reviews and speaking to a few fellow drummers, I decided to try them out.

"As well as very good value for the money, the playability of these heads is second to none.
I currently play the Code TRS [smooth white] on my my snare, Code Law [surface donut dot] on my toms and the Code Blast on my bass drum.

"Easy to tune and look great under stage lights, they always sound alive!!
Sound engineers where we have played always comment on how good they sound.

"I'm a Code convert. Get some, try them, you'll love them!!"

Paddy rocking his Code drum heads!

Here's a breakdown of costings you can expect for Code heads for your kit, based on the types of head Paddy uses:

Code TRS 14" snare head: £15.99
Code Law 10"/12"/14" tom heads: £30.50
Code Blast clear 22" bass drum head: £29.99

Add an Enigma display head for £18.99

Update - Code Drum Heads

25/8/2018

0 Comments

You may have noticed that we've been short of (or sold out of) a number of lines of Code heads in the past couple of months.
Code products have become exceptionally popular recently, and we've sold out because
(a) we sell more Code products than any other retailer in the UK and
(b) because the suppliers have now run out of some lines!

The great news is that the first shipment to allow us to restock has finally landed in the UK (albeit several weeks later than scheduled!)

Blast

Law

Reso Ring (RR)

Zero

We are hoping (by the end of next week) to have stocks of 14" Zero snare heads, 22" clear Blast bass drum batter heads, all sizes of Reso Ring and all sizes of Law tom heads.

The other thing worth noting is that as of 1st September 2018, prices across the Code range will be increasing.

Code are raising their prices for various reasons, including exchange rates & slight changes in specs (increased production costs).

We will be keeping our prices as they are until our current stocks are sold out, but these are limited, so we'd recommend you order soon to get your heads and accessories at current prices!

Code Tom Heads

16/2/2018

Having covered Code's range of snare drum heads in a previous blog, here's a run-down of their offering of tom heads...

Code have been through an intensive development phase with their range of tom heads. The selection has now settled with 4 different batter heads and 1 dedicated resonant head (with the DNA clear head being suitable for both batter and resonant use).

Bascially, you have a choice of clear or coated single ply heads (DNA), a single ply clear head with a surface donut dot (Law) or a double ply clear (Generator). Generator heads are also available coated, although we don't currently stock these as standard (please ask for custom orders).

The Reso Ring (or RR) was designed specifically for use as a resonant head (single ply with dampening ring).

DNA Clear single ply (Batter or Resonant)

DNA clear heads are suited to both batter and resonant use. They are constructed of a single, clear 10mils PET, giving great attack and depth and a wide, open tone with long decay. The heads also have a wide tuning range, increasing their versatility - great all-rounders.

DNA clear heads are available in 8"-18".

DNA COATED SINGLE PLY (Batter)

A great all-round head for any genre from light jazz through to rock. DNA coated heads can be used on toms or snare. The construction is 10mils single ply with a textured coating. The coating helps reduce overtones and gives a warm, big, fat sound. Strong attack and medium decay.

DNA coated heads are available in 6"-18".

Law Single Ply with Surface Donut Dot (Batter)

Single 10mils clear ply with a 5mils PET donut dot. The PET dot gives extra durability and brings out more of the mid-tones for a classic retro sound. They can also be used as resonant heads. Also great for use on snare drums to give a unique and timeless sound.

Law heads are available in 8"-18".

We do also have limited stocks of the old design Law heads with a solid centre dot, although these have been discontinued.

Generator Twin Ply Clear (Batter)

Generator heads suit the heavier hitter who wants a punchy and controlled sound. The 18” can also be used on kick drum. Constructed from 2 x 7mils plies with bonded ring around the outside edge, which focuses and controls the sound and overtones and also gives the skins fast attack and decay. For a more open sound, use with DNA clear as the resonant heads, or for a more deadened sound, use with Reso Ring (RR).

We currently only stock the clear Generator heads, but can order the coated variety for you.

Generator heads are available in 8"-18".

Reso Ring (RR) (Resonant)

Clear single 7mils ply with a narrow dampening ring around the outside edge. Developed to prevent drummers from having to use tape or taping tissue etc to the bottom of their toms to reduce the ring! The dampening ring helps to reduce unwanted overtones. Gives a punchy and controlled sound with reduced overtones and short decay. The heads make it much easier for sound engineers to control the sound of the toms when the drums are mic'd.

RR heads are available in 8"-18".

All of our prices in our web store include shipping to the mainland UK - if preferred you can collect your heads in person (at slightly lower costs due to lack of fees etc - please ask for a quote).

If you'd like any advice on selecting the best type of heads for your kit, drop me an e-mail, I'll be happy to help!
