CODE DRUMHEADS GENCL16

CODE 16" Double Ply Transparent Tom HeadDouble ply 15 mil (2 x 7.5 mil) for high durability and exemplary tuning stability.Glued outer ring controlling harmonics: fast attack, short sustain, and focused sound.Transparent finish for clear projection and excellent transient definition.Versatile for stage/studio use, with recommended resonant pairings: DNA Clear (open/deep) or Reso Ring (RR) for natural damping.Historical Context and Positioning in the RangeDesigned as one of the brand's most robust heads, this clear double ply version fits into the "power and control" segment. It targets drummers seeking precise response, minimal unwanted harmonics, and high resistance, typical of high-end models intended for intensive use.Who This Instrument Is ForIdeal for intermediate to expert drummers who want a punchy tom that sits easily in a mix. Suitable for live and studio contexts, from rock and pop to fusion. In modern jazz, it offers a controlled register that facilitates mic placement and low to mid tuning.Features and InnovationsThe double ply 7.5 mil + 7.5 mil construction provides body and longevity, while the glued outer ring effectively reduces unwanted vibrations without completely choking the shell. The transparent surface maximizes attack and clarity. At 16", it is mounted as a tom batter head, with a firm feel that holds dynamics and limits flap. Pair it with a DNA Clear resonant head for more openness and depth, or with a Reso Ring (RR) for a drier, more muted sound.SoundThe transparent film emphasizes a crisp attack and a pronounced focus in the midrange, with tightened lows. The double ply naturally shortens sustain and adds consistency to the stroke, ideal for punchy toms that cut through the mix without bleeding.The peripheral ring controls harmonics and resonance for a clear pitch, useful in low tunings where overtones can become overwhelming. The result: an open, warm, and precise sound, easy to record and amplify, suitable for both accented playing and controlled dynamics.Technical SpecificationsFormat and CompatibilityType: tom headApplication: batterDiameter: 16 inConstructionStyle: double plyTotal thickness: 15 milPly details: outer 7.5 mil; inner 7.5 milFinishFinish: transparentConfiguration: transparentControl and DesignGlued outer ring for full control of harmonics and vibrations without eliminating themSound and UsageSound: open, warm, and crispResonance: measured and controlledApplications: stage or studioStyles: jazz, fusion, rock, popRecommendationsRecommended resonant head: CODE DNA Clear for a more open and deep soundAlternative: Reso Ring (RR) for natural damping thanks to a thick peripheral reinforcement
