Badges...We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges!

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do! :) The drum badge is what helps give each brand of drums its own identity. Every drum manufacturer has a specific badge that is strategically placed on each drum created so that everyone and their mother can instantly recognize what brand of drums they are.

Back in the day, these badges were small, classy and very understated. Everyone was content to just let their drums do the talking. However, over the years, the drum badge has seemingly become larger and larger. It would appear that the major drum manufacturers and most custom shops feel that they have to force feed their "brand" of drums down everyone's throat.

I am happy to report that is not the case with Roberts Drums. We've been working on designing a badge for our drums that is classic, timeless and just downright cool. It's small, will have a classic brass finish, and will have text and some minimal graphical elements with a 2-D relief (embossed) look. And to give it just the right vintage vibe, we've made sure that our air vent grommet holds the badge in place. (most drum fabricators today have separated their badges and air vents)

And so I give you, the Roberts Drum Company badge design...
