Help & support

A custom skin is a printed front head for your bass drum. You've probably seen bands using them.

We print 16", 18", 20", 22", 24" and 26" heads.

We use Remo Ambassador heads. Once they've been printed and sealed they're a little heavier than a standard Ambassador - somewhere approaching an Emperor.

We cut mic holes for free, because we love it.

Sure, it'll cost you £20 though. We have reinforcers in black, white and chrome.

It's a plastic rim we can fit on your mic hole to protect your drum head from being split by the soundman or any local livestock.

Sure, why not. Let's stop at two though. No need to go mad.

No, we supply matt heads as well. All our metallic heads will have a gloss finish though.

Years, if you treat it right. There are still customskins out there on the circuit from when Starsailor were the $hit.

Unbolt the rim at the front of your bass drum (you might need a drum key, available from any music store). Slot the old skin out. Set it on fire, you won't be needing it any more. Put your new customskin in it's place. Rebolt the rim.

Measure it, from the inside of the rim across. You'll need the diameter, in inches.

We use a couple of different digital machines - one running eco-solvent inks, and one running UV inks. We print onto an incredibly thin film which is then heatpressed onto the head and sealed.

There's never any issue with the vast vast vast majority of our orders. If you do have a problem, contact us immediately and we'll see what we can do.

Barely. It might make it sound a touch fatter, which is obviously a good thing.

Sure thang. We print awesome backdrops over at www.bandbanners.co.uk. Buy one and we might spare you.

You can upload it as part of the order process.
