My own vintage decals
I’m playing with Neal Bowen and Jonathan Penalber in a little Jazz combo called The BeBop Broadcasting Network and I was thinking I need to get on of those retro bass drum decals like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa had back in the 30’s-50’s.
Originally, I looked into using vintagelogos.com, but while $35 for a decal isn’t bad, I know I could squirt out my own design for less. So I popped open Illustrator, spent about an hour getting one together and called up my local sign shop. To my amazement, they only charged my $10 to get one of these decals made! So I ordered 2 (and got 6 by the time it was over … long story) - one to put on my 18″ Mapex and one to put on my 22″ Starclassic.
They look really great. As soon as I get a pic of one on the drum itself, I’ll post it up.
