Stephen Jensen of F3 Studios joins Sic•Skinz

2010-02-03T13:54:00.000-08:00

Stephen Jensen has agreed to join up with us to provide even MORE designs for drum coverings. He is an amazing talent, and has a killer design style. We look forward to working with him and getting his work on YOUR drum kit!

Here's a bio about him from the F3 site...

Stephen Jensen is an award-winning entertainment art director, photographer, and graphic designer and founder of F3 Studios in Crystal Lake, IL. Stephen is known mostly for his work in the music and entertainment industries on album covers and packaging. Stephen received his BA in graphic design at Columbia College of Chicago focusing mainly on graphic design, photography, and typography. Stephen’s style comes from a combination of unique photography, photo direction, and photo manipulation, and a strong sense of color, design, and typography. With influences from the early art masters to his modern day peers, Stephen’s work balances elegance and precision with chaos and decadence. Some of his pieces offer deep concepts and photorealistic imagery, while others are studies in color, design, typography, and structure.

Sic•Skinz is now an authorized Ddrum Dealer!

2009-02-09T20:17:00.000-08:00

That's right folks, we have just become only the second authorized Ddrum dealer in the State of Washington for Ddrum. What this means is that we can sell Ddrum kits directly to you, and we even have their permission to wrap your kit in a set of Sic•Skinz -- which the other dealer down in Olympia CANNOT do!

What does this mean?

Well, it means that you no longer have to settle for the three or four colors of Ddrum kits they offer in stores, online or direct through Ddrum. We can wrap it in any of our existing designs on our site, on the RockenWraps site, or any design you want to have us create custom just for you.

Want a look at what we have done with Ddrum Kits? Looky here... Here is a Diablo Death Punx Double Bass kit wrapped in our Tribal Fire design by Rich Evans of Huntington Body Works.

Pricing of the wraps for a Ddrum kit are as follows:

5 pc set of wraps = $325

6 pc set of wraps = $350

7 pc set of wraps = $375

We can either send you the kit and the wraps and let you put them on, or for an installation fee of $150, we can install the wraps professionally at our shop.

So you know, we are authorized to sell and/or wrap ANY Ddrum kit, extra add-on drums, and even their acrylic kits and Octobans! So, what are you waiting for? Call us at 800.768.4518 and order your custom Ddrum kit TODAY!

Sic•Skinz is getting ready to sell KITS & more!

2009-02-06T07:06:00.000-08:00

That's right folks, we are in the process of obtaining authorization to sell Pearl Drums & Hardware. As well as Ddrum drumsets and triggers. All of this will be accessible through our online store where you will be able to select a drumset to purchase, and then select a set of Drum Wraps to have it wrapped in. You will be able to choose whether you want us to wrap the kit for you, or if you want us to send the wraps to you to do yourself.

We have also been approved to retail products through Universal Percussion. Which means... DRUM HARDWARE!

Heads, Sticks, Stands, Bass Pedals, etc.

We want to become a one-stop online drum shop for the masses! And we are well on our way to becoming just that!
