DIY Bass Drum Painting

I was looking for a cheap way to customize my bass drum and finally I did it with a stencil and a paint marker. Here goes the steps if you want to do it. Let me know if you need help. 

What You Need? 

A printer 

A computer with a text editor like Open Office or Note Pad

A paint marker. I used Edding 751(between $3 and $7) - Posca won't work on this type of drum skin

A knife standard precision (around $3)

Tape 

 

1 

Print the name 

First you need to choose a font to make your stencil. In this case I downloaded "boston-traffic.tiff" from this web : http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ . 

Then use a text editor to print the name in the size you want. 

2

Try it in the bass drum to check size and position

3

Cut the sheet of paper with the precision knife

4

Use the tape  to place your stick the paper to the skin

5

Trace the letters 

6

Place the second paper and same thing

7

Done! 

If you need help or want to comment, feel free. Hope it will help!
