The Shield Logo is a premium standalone vinyl decal that you apply to your own existing bass drum head. The Shield Drumhead is a complete, brand-new physical bass drumhead that comes with your custom shield design pre-installed.

When you order a full Shield Drumhead from VintageLogos.com, we install your custom shield design on high-quality Aquarian or Remo bass drum heads. Rather than using surface ink or paint, your graphic is applied using premium 3M film media ensuring a completely flawless bond that acts as a unified part of the drumhead.

No, it will not. Because we don't use surface paint or cheap ink printing that can easily chip away under vibration. The premium 3M adhered films used by VintageLogos.com bonds seamlessly into the drumhead structure. It is engineered to withstand heavy, high-volume playing without cracking, peeling or fading.

Our step-by-step customization tool at VintageLogos.com lets you build your perfect vintage look in minutes. Start by choosing your preferred Shield Crest style and entering your custom monogram lettering. Next, select your drumhead size and use our visual guide to pick the ideal shield dimensions. Finish by selecting one of our four classic colors—this will apply to the shield, stripes, and lettering, leaving your original drumhead color to show through as the background. If you are ordering a complete Shield Drumhead, you can also opt for a pre-installed microphone port hole, complete with our wide selection of accent rings.

No advanced tools are needed. You will just want a basic glass or window cleaner to clean the surface, a measuring tape to find your visual center, and a plastic credit card or squeegee to firmly adhere the vinyl into place. We send photographic instructions with every Shield Logo order.

It depends on the color selected, as Black or White color logos will adhere to coated heads only. While they will stick to coated heads, the textured surface makes it harder for the adhesive to grab initially, requiring you to peel the transfer tape back incredibly slowly at a sharp angle. Smooth surface drum heads, Clear Drum Heads and Fiberskyn heads will accept all colors, including Brushed Colors or Metallics, and these heads are much easier to apply graphics too.

The trick is to start adhering the logo from the center and work your way outward. Use your credit card wrapped in a thin microfiber cloth to smoothly glide across the crest, pushing any trapped air pockets straight out to the outer edges.

Before peeling off the protective backing paper, tape the top edge of the entire decal package down to your drumhead with masking tape. This acts as a fixed "hinge," allowing you to flip the decal up, peel away the bottom protective paper and lay it down exactly where you aligned it without it sliding out of position.

You can still easily apply a Shield Logo to your own bass drum head without the mic hole causing any issues even if it has a port ring. If you have a KickPort installed, you will need to remove it before installing the logo.

Yes. If you apply the decal over an area where you want a microphone port, wait 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond. Then install your port hole. You can use a professional drumhead port hole cutter or a heated metal can to slice cleanly through both the film and the drumhead material simultaneously.

Depends on the shield size you choose at VintageLogos.com. Consider a side placement if you want to keep the factory branding visible. If the brand name is long, choose a smaller shield to make both logos fit. A centered shield will likely cover up or overlap any factory markings in the direct center of your drumhead. You can always contact us for expert advice.

The shield is a thin additional layer of professional-grade 3M film. It has a very minimal acoustic impact.

Not if it is installed correctly on a clean head. Once you firmly adhere the film down and wait a day for the adhesive to cure, the vinyl bonds seamlessly to the drumhead. It behaves as a single unit and will not create any vibrating artifacts or unwanted noise.

Yes! The graphics utilize premium, outdoor-rated 3M film technologies. They are completely resistant to rain, stage lighting heat, humidity and direct sunlight, ensuring the graphics won't fade or warp during outdoor gigs.

Wipe it down gently using a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild, alcohol-free window cleaner. Avoid using heavy chemical solvents, abrasive scrubbing pads or scratching motions near the sharp, thin edges of the shield design.

No. Our high-performance adhesive films stretch, warp, and tear when you try to pull them up. They are designed for a one-time permanent application.

It may leave a minor sticky residue, but it won't ruin the head. You can easily clean off any leftover adhesive safely by rubbing a small amount of Goo Gone, isopropyl alcohol or soapy water over the spot with a soft towel.

Our customization tool only allows you to make choice selections. If you would like to see a proof, please request one in the ordering instructions notes in the shopping cart. Don't forget to tell us the specific drumhead you have and any additional logos or mic hole ports.
