Why can’t you find any Beatles heads any more

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I'd suspect that Apple Corps has clamped down on unauthorized use of the trademarked name/logo. If they don't enforce said trademark it can go out of protection.

You could probably get one made up at any local vinyl sign shop. The font is available online (Bootle is the name of one copycat font) and that's all they'd need. The places that do custom drum head art probably can still do it too but need to keep it on the down low if they got a cease and desist letter.

I did my own by finding a good image of the Ed Sullivan head online, blowing it up to the proper size and then tracing it onto a 20" head, finally coloring that in with paint markers. Not quite as slick as the vinyl type but closer to the original in how it was made. I later did the same thing to a 40" head that I got cheap and it makes for an impressive wall hanging.

One of our members sells the vinyl decals on the bay.

He sells the Ed Sullyvan style and tour style. He goes by Barrhavendrumguy

I got one and it looks great, and is a great price and easy to apply. I get all my BD logos from him

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

They're available on the Ringo Beatle Kits site (to to the Store link) but be prepared to pay a hefty price.
