Thousands of prints over the years
We’ve printed thousands of drum heads for both amateurs and professionals. We always aim for complete customer satisfaction, putting great care into the preparation process.

What we offer:

• Personal consultation for each print.
• Manual review of your artwork. We never print low-quality files without discussing it with you first.
• You’ll receive a proof/sketch for approval before production starts.
• We choose the best printing method for your specific design.
• We never include our own logo on your head unless requested.
• Half-price on reprints within 24 months of the original.
• Option for chrome print or printing on chrome (special order).
• Choose between glossy or matte finish (glossy is standard).

Tips for the best result:
Stage lighting can affect visibility, so contrast is key. In our experience, simple and bold designs work best. Use high-contrast colors and avoid fine details.

Vector file formats (e.g. EPS or Adobe Illustrator) ensure the best quality and minimal prep work. If you're sending a bitmap (e.g. JPG or PNG), make sure it's high-resolution (300 DPI preferred) for optimal sharpness and print accuracy.

How to order:
Place your order above. Then send your artwork to info@trumslagaren.se. If the file is larger than 5MB, please use a file transfer service like WeTransfer.

We have Adobe Illustrator templates available upon request. For Photoshop files, please include a circular outline (in a separate layer) to represent the drum head’s contour. Otherwise, describe your size and placement preferences clearly.

If the print is to cover the entire head, note that we print approximately 10mm onto the edges and require an additional 3mm bleed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the drum head included in the price?
No, the drum head is not included. Please add your preferred head to your cart along with the print.

What drum heads do you recommend?
We generally recommend a smooth and thin head such as Remo Ambassador Smooth White or Remo Ambassador Ebony for optimal adhesion. We also offer affordable options from Aquarian and smooth heads from Evans.

Does the print affect the sound?
Any modification to the head can affect the sound to some extent. We use various techniques to ensure the best possible print and sound quality. We always recommend printing on thin heads like the Ambassador. Even full-surface prints are still thinner than a Remo Emperor.

Can you add a microphone hole?
If you purchase a Holz or Kickport (not just the ring), we include hole cutting and installation. We always recommend a reinforcement ring like Holz to prevent cracking.

What’s the delivery time?
We batch print to keep prices low. Normal delivery time is 10–15 business days but depends on current demand. For urgent orders, we offer express handling at an additional cost. Some prints can be completed within a few days after proof approval.

Can you remove the manufacturer’s logo (e.g., Remo)?
Yes, we can remove logos from all smooth heads unless you specifically want to keep them. If keeping the logo, ensure your design accommodates its placement.

What print techniques do you use?
We use vinyl cut graphics, digital print, and contour-cut digital print.

Is the print glossy or matte?
Our prints are glossy by default, but matte finish is available as an option.

Do you offer chrome, gold, or other special materials?
Under certain conditions, we can print on Remo Starfire Chrome or Starfire Gold. In some cases, we can also use chrome, silver, or gold-colored ink, depending on the design. These prints require extra work and materials, so contact us for a price quote.

Can you print on transparent heads?
Yes, but transparency presents unique challenges in design and print method. Please send us your design first for evaluation. Select “Special Print” when ordering.

What is the expected print lifespan?
All prints are guaranteed not to fade or peel. Estimated indoor lifespan is up to 7 years.

What is a print copy?
If you order a duplicate (for double bass drums or reordering within 2 years), you pay only half price compared to a new print.
