Description

Thicker Film, Deeper Character

Constructed from a single-ply 5-mil clear PET film, this version of the Genetic snare side head offers a slightly darker tone and shorter sustain compared to its 3-mil counterpart. The extra thickness helps tame excessive brightness, while still maintaining a bold snare “crack” with solid top-end presence.

Ideal for both live and studio applications, the 5-mil Genetic provides increased control, a rounder tonal character, and a responsive feel that enhances snare articulation without overemphasizing high frequencies.

As with all Code drumheads, it features a high-quality aluminium rim with a steel core, along with Grip-Tight™ Rim Technology for a secure fit and reliable tuning.

Why Choose the Code Genetic 5-mil Drumhead?

Perfect for drummers who want more warmth and control from their snare drum, the 5-mil Genetic is a great choice for heavier musical styles, deeper shell snares, or any setup where tone shaping and projection are a priority. It offers a refined, professional sound without sacrificing responsiveness.

Go deeper. Play warmer. Unlock a new snare voice with the Code Genetic 5-mil Snare Side Drumhead.
