I will share your link on a drummer forum I visit to see if maybe they can help. Lots of Levon fans onboard there.

Personally, I don't like the signatures I am familiar with on that site.

They gave you the boot and he's still a member? That's hilarious.

Am I the only one that hates signed drum heads? I just think they look weird, and won't look good no matter how you try to frame it.

Signed drumsticks -- okay. A signed drum cymbol -- sure. But not a drum head.

Like Paul, I like artist used/signed heads. Part of the turn off for me is the head maker ink stamps. I like them signed and left on a drum (better if the drum belonged to the drummer!) and there are frames made from drum hoops out there. I think part of the turn off is in the amount of space left blank on so many of them.

The good news is that many pro heads like Remo are made of MYLAR.

Sometimes the white coatings do not allow for a good signature. (and I hate clear signed heads!) Cymbals have their issues too. The lathed ridges on the surface make signing tricky, and brilliant finishes can disrupt ink flow. However, I've also seen glossy vinyl album covers mess with ink flow.

I love Levon Helm. Attached is one he signed for me.

Was lucky enough to see Levon jam live on a few occasions with Hubert Sumlin and some other greats, had Levon sign this one on the way into one of the shows.

I could listen to The Band every day and be happy.
