What do you think of my artistic skills with my bands name? Also, does anyone know any good personalized bass skin makers (whatever you call it) in England?


My beloved first drum kit

14" Istanbul Xist Agop Hi Hats

http://www.customskins.co.uk/ is a good place to start chap. They are quite pricey for a custom head, but you do get a realllly good head (Remo powerstroke I believe) and the quality of the print is great (as long as you supply a decent quality image anyway!)

Loving the paintwork on that kit mate...reminds me of a DW kit I saw a fair while back. Nice tidy setup too...what are the Xist cymbals like?
 
I think the drums were painted elsewhere based on the masking tape band name.
 
+1 - - either redo the head with a painted band logo or take the tape off, because it really sadly undermines the very nice paint job on the drums.
 
Here's a new pic of the kit with some little accessories on (Juggling balls and a mini-slinky) which aren't normally on my kit but my 10 year old brother thinks it's cool.

I'm currently looking for some black tape to try out on the kit because the blue tape clashes with the blue on the flames. It's a surprisingly hard thing to find! I think ebay will do me the trick if I can't find any soon.
