From comover

Thanks for all the replies and the logo. I'll see if I can track down a wing bolt for the bass drum mount. Cheers

On your set its made by Pearl from about 1962-66 if i recall right.Now on to your questions the wing nut on the tom mount would be odd thread Metric i have these wing nuts and complete tom mounts..The mount on the side of the bass drum is for a "L" arm cymbal mount i also have these in stock it looks like you are also missing the wing-screw for the mount again Odd size Metric thread i have these in stock they are new old stock screws..As far as the snare drum the lugs and strainer are made be Pearl too.Pearl made these parts a few ways the first strainer the handle was a screw end type with a sq. nut to hold the handle to the strainer, the next type they made was a one piece handle that was part of the inside piece that moves up and down..On the lugs Pearl made two types of these the first ones had a "Tab" that was bent over the back side of the lug ={somewhat like you would see on the Rogers B&B lugs of the 60's}-that the mountin screw would screw into.The second type of lug Pearl change them and made them with the "Tab" they would look like any made lug from the back...If you need any of these parts just P/M me...Mikey

[QUOTE=DaddyNowhere;158506]Have a couple of Stewart kits I'm working on myself - of course none of them came with a logo head, so I actually just drew up a vector version using one of the pics on this forum as reference. Not perfect, (and I think a different font version than yours - Star version) but here's a jpeg. How you'd get it from here to the drum head is the question... Good luck with the project.[/QUOTE

The easy and cheap way to transfer the logo to a kick head is to print on. Lear adhesive substrate. If you don't have the means at home to do that, you should have little problem solving that at most print shops, probably including pla R's like Kinko's. The downside is the you will see the clear substrate to some degree and it will eventually yellow.

The best way to do this is to take you vector artwork to a real print shop and have them produce die cut vinyl for you. They will have a lot of colors to choose from and it will come mounted on something like wide, double sided masking tape. To install, simply peel the backing off and place the entire piece on your drum head. The vinyl has a much stronger adhesive than the tape so the tape then pulls off. When you buy drum logos on eBay, this is what you are getting. It's still pretty cheap and the results are first rate.

Hi,

there's another possibility to apply the logo onto the head. But you have to be handy: just paint the logo on it.

You need:

- a print copy of the logo in the 1 : 1 original size for the drum head,

- a black felt pen with a thin end (to keep the outline letters 'sharp') and

- a black felt pen with a wide end (to fill the inner space of the letters).

Put a planar board on a table, size smaller (!) than your head's diameter. It's height should just be ca. 1 to 1.5 cm, so that the surface of the head stays planar (if placed on it) and the hoop of it is just in little contact with the surface of the table around. Put the copy print below the head, onto the board, and it'll shine through the reso head. Then you can carefully copy the outline of the logo from above onto the head, using the thin felt pen.

Afterwards fill in the outlined logo with the wide-end felt pen (sorry I don't know the correct wording, here in Germany we just call them 'Edding').

One extra hint: if settled, turn the head around and paint also the backside of the logo black with your pens! Result: the logo will show a much deeper black colour then, as if applied onto the head only from one side.

That's it. It took my approx. two hours time for a Premier logo.

NB: you can also fix the copy print with a tape to the back side of the head, so that it can't slip.
