Paul S Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 My band are going to get a kick drum logo. Seems there are various options. Getting a whole new skin with the logo printed is, I guess, the very best thing. At the other end of the scale you can get a vinyl sticker for 1/10th of the cost. Has anyone used the stick on vinyl? Any good? The old adage is that if something sounds too good to be true then generally it is - but vinyl stickers/wrap technology does seem to be pretty good these days. All opinions welcomed Muchas gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Tim Allen @ gig ink... Skin It for a pro look but maybe pricy... If its a simple-ish logo, single colour - or individual bits made up of different colours? - I've had a few custom stickers made by Omni Vinyl on the bay... very helpful and nothing to loose for around a Fiver...

Silvia Bluejay Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 A sticker will be cheap and nasty and possibly affect the kickdrum's sound. The drummers in both our bands went pro and used these guys: Custom Skins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks for that Silvia, I agree it is worth getting a proper job done having thought about it. That lot looks good and in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot of money. The gig ink's 'skin it' page doesn't seem to want to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I've just had a read through the Custom Skins guidelines and FAQ, and I'm impressed. They haven't made it complicated for those who are just going to cobble something together in Paint or Word Art and at the same time it's not been over-simplified for those of us who know what we are doing when it comes to presenting graphics for print. On that basis alone they should be congratulated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I used this chap, who's highly recommended on a lot of the drummers groups on Facebook, for a printed skin ahead of a tour earlier this year. Reasonably priced, good comms, and managed to do a rush job for us and actually hand delivered it to the audio company where our truck was being loaded. https://m.facebook.com/100042380572187/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It's a way of determining how committed the drummer is to the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
