I have a guy who does die cut vinyl one-offs for me all the time at a reasonable price. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to help out if that's the route you want to go. I've been meaning to get a couple of my own done, so it's no bother for me to bring another along.
write on a BD head ?
it's really a pleasure to post on this forum, very good feeling and awesome replies ! thank you guys !
Anyway, I finally find a dealer near home and contact him to know if he makes vinyl cut and how it costs...
It turns out that I was in contact with this person few months ago, and help him to choose a mic for his acoustic guitar !
Then, he replies that he offers the sticker ! :cool:
cheers

That's pretty cool. Did you print both colors on the vinyl sheet? Or was the vinyl sheet a gold or black color and you printed the other color on it? I have a shield I'd like to make and the logo is gold type with black outline. We have a pretty fancy color copier at work. So I'd like to try it.
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

I printed both colors (the "skins" come in white). The gold color is actually taken from a photo of my drums so it pretty closely matches the Gold Sparkle. Here's the actual layout I used. I carefully cut around the parts with an Xacto knife and straight edge.

That's really cool it came out excellent~! The gold sparkle photo worked really well I think. Clever idea. Thanks for the details I'm going to give it a try.

hi,
the Trowa restoring is progressing little by little. Head on the BD and logo are in place.
There're now the 6 original lugs on the front BD, it was tinkered with only 4.
I'm waiting for few parts from Mike, cymbal stand, hit-hat stand, matching screw, etc... I'm excited !
Anyway, I would like to know if a tune key exists for the tom lug ? and where I could find one.
Thanks
Phil
Hi Phil,
Great project !
What you need is a key for slotted head screws.
This type of key will do the job,...
thanks Stedi,
I didn't know this model still exist, I was afraid to search an old one... But if someone has an old one to match with the drums... ;)
Next step is completely disassemble tom and snare to polish and clean.
cheers
Phil
