Getting my first set of Code heads was like Christmas. Now they are on my kit, they sound better than I remember.

Math Priest – Dodgy/The Icicle Works

I thought, hang on if he’s giving me free drum skins then they’re gonna be rubbish. But they actually turned out to be as good as the big, well known brands that I was using before. Also what’s ace is as they are a new UK company, they’re getting better and developing all the time.

Alan Emslie – Plastic Noose

I’m massively impressed with my new CODE drum heads. The BLAST head sounds huge and the unique resonant tone of the LAW head works right across my closed toms and snare drum perfectly.

Even tapping these heads with a finger, the tone is controlled and has so much depth. I’ve always wanted a sound that is both big and powerful whilst being precise and musical; Code makes that ‘Dream Sound’ achievable.

Rob Allen – Augustines and Session

What can I say about Code Heads. They are extremely durable, and I should know. I’ve played a hell of a lot of shows and they’ve outlasted and out performed any other brand I’ve used. They stay in tune superbly. I once travelled from London to Madrid by bus, literally after arriving, I walked on to the stage with my drums and the heads didn’t even need to be tuned!! I couldn’t believe it. The most important thing, is they sound fantastic. The different ranges Code offer suit any situation, studio or live and offer the versatility any drummer would need. Try them- You’ll be blown away!

Chris Gillon – The King Lot

The proof is in the pudding. Code Drumheads are proof that you don’t need to use a big brand name to sound amazing!

Brian Moroney –Airways

The first time I tried Code Heads, I knew I had to make the switch. I love the way they feel and sound.

Sylvain Callot

I chose CODE for its genuine and original sound and because it’s efficient and easy to tune. I selected the GENERATOR range for the snare’s skin head and GENETIC for the resonant skin. The sound is profound, precise, classical and subtile. The outcome is good for all drumsticks. I also chose the GENERATOR range for the toms and the DNA CLEAR for its resonant skin. Finally, I take the BLAST coated skin for my bass drum and the white ENIGMA serie for a nice finishing touch on stage and a good sounding bass drum.

Kieran Burt – Retro Video Club
