DrumART since 1997 · HeadBuilder since 2010
You bring the idea.
We bring everything else.
In 2010, DrumART's HeadBuilder put drumhead design
into the hands of the people making the music.
YOURS.
This summer, we revolutionize the tool
that revolutionized the
industry.
Where you start
We meet you where you are
Start with whatever you've got — a band logo and a rough idea are enough. So is just the rough idea.
You don't need artwork. You don't need a designer. You don't need to have it figured out before you begin — we've designed HeadBuilder 3.0 to support your vision and work with you, guiding you along the way.
Our ImageAgent creates beautiful artwork from nothing but words.
Type what you're picturing. A wolf under a blood moon. Chrome lettering across a desert highway. Whatever's actually in your head — and ImageAgent draws it.
Three times, actually. Three genuinely different artistic directions, each one labeled, so you're choosing between ideas instead of picking between near-identical twins.
Close, but the sky's wrong? Say so. Tell it what to change and it changes it — and every version stays. Back up to the one from four edits ago. Branch off in a different direction. Keep both and decide later. You cannot paint yourself into a corner (pun intended).
Can't find the words?
That's okay, many people can't. It's normal and it's not a problem — describing a picture is its own skill and our PromptAssistant is the expert.
It is a tool inside the tool that turns this difficult task into a conversation. It asks about your band, your sound, the imagery you keep coming back to, and turns your answers into the kind of detailed description that actually gets a great result. Then it hands that straight to ImageAgent to do the work. Simple, elegant and extremely powerful.
Or, don't generate anything at all
Generative AI not your thing? Our ImageCatalog is the answer. It contains HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of inexpensive, royalty-free photos and illustrations that are searchable without ever leaving your design. Find the eagle, check the closeup, drop it onto the canvas — it centers and fills the head edge to edge on its own.
Kick it old school.
Use our incredible ShieldGenerator to create your own bespoke traditional shield design. Fifty shapes to choose from, your colors, your initials, your lettering, your stripe configuration. Built mathematically rather than pasted in as a flat picture, so it stays razor-sharp at print size and stays editable after it's on the head. Change your mind about a color at the very end — switch it up. Like everything else in HeadBuilder 3.0, it was designed so control always stays with you. Dust-sniffers, unite!
Already have artwork? Bring it.
As always, you can use your own artwork the same way our customers have been doing it for the better part of 30 years. Upload, place on the drumhead, resize and go — you don't need to use our advanced tools at all if you've already got your artwork sorted. Your band's logo, album cover, your buddy passed out at a gig, your dog — you name it. Upload it and order. Done and dusted.
ImageAgent artwork cost
$0
No per-image fee. Not now, not later. Everyone gets free credits every day just for showing up.
Signing in gets you a one-time bonus and registering for launch day notification below gets you even more.
Then, customize to your heart's content.
Your band name around the rim, arced to follow the curve. Real bold, real italic, real underline — the actual weights the font ships with, never a computer faking a slant. Outline it. Run a gradient through it. Even upload your own font.
Pull a color straight out of your own artwork with the eyedropper, and match everything else on the head to it.
Drag anything anywhere. Text, images, logos — you name it. Ports and port protectors can be moved anywhere within the safe area and you can never accidentally put one where it doesn't belong.
And undo. And redo. Nothing you try is a commitment.
The power of DrumART's HeadBuilder
has always been
customization.
HeadBuilder 3.0 TURNS THAT UP TO 11.
However you like to work
Three ways in
HeadBuilder Studio
The full design surface. Every tool, every control, the Full Monte. Nothing held back.
HeadBuilder Wizard
One decision at a time, if you'd rather be walked through it. Same live pricing, same ImageAgent, same stock catalog, same saves.
HeadBuilder Mobile
Start it on your phone while the idea's fresh, hit Send To Computer, and finish it on a real screen with the whole toolkit.
One design. Whichever door you came through.
The whole point
And all of it is one thing
This is the part that's hard to appreciate until you're in it.
The artwork ImageAgent just drew is a live layer — knock out its background, recolor it, stack a shield on top of it. The stock photograph sits under the type you warped. The crest sits over both. The head you started at band practice on HeadBuilder Mobile opens later on your home computer, exactly where you left it and with dozens more tools available to you in HeadBuilder Studio.
Every element talks to every other element, which is what lets a loose idea turn into a finished head without you ever leaving the page.
That's the whole reason we built it.
Yours to keep
Then it's yours to keep
Save it, name it, come back next year. Full version history sits behind every save, so you can always get back.
Share it by link — your band, your friends, your mom. Anyone can open an editable copy on their own screen.
And every design you've ever saved with us, going back years, is already waiting in your account the first time you sign in. Old orders link straight back to the design that made them, so rebuilding a head you bought three years ago takes one click. Boom.
Design it once. We'll hang on to it for you.
The promise
It prints exactly like it looks
The picture on your screen and the file that goes to the printer come off the same rendering engine. Not a close approximation — the same code.
And color goes through one conversion, to the standard our shop has printed against for nearly thirty years. Reds stay red. Blacks stay black.
What you approved is what shows up at your door.
