hi all
had a inquiry about printing onto a drum skin.
has any of you ever done this? if so what did you use and was it any good?

I've done sign vinyl onto a drum skin before, wasn't too bad, bit time consuming!

Presumably this is for an unstruck front bass drum skin? Most I've seen do seem to be vinyl...

I believe 'back in the day' they were often screen printed or even painted on by a signwriter. Though some skins are polyester based (I believe) I can't see them taking the heat of a dyesub press - certainly not without localised damage/change such that they become unserviceable.

One possible method might be a waterslide transfer??

Agree with Matt, these could be screen printed - years ago we had some strange requests like this, the worst ones were to screen print the canvas floor on a boxing ring and the changing room doors in a cloths shop.

Here's one I did earlier

I used sign vinyl

Could also be done as print & cut vinyl if detailed design.
