QuikSknz: The Smart Way to Brand Your Bass Drum (and Why It Fits the Above Average Mindset)
In a world where every drummer is fighting to stand out, Quiksknz have quietly built something that does exactly that — without the fuss. Custom drum skins that fit fast, look sharp, and don’t kill your tone. As someone building a brand around mindset over ego and helping drummers express who they are both on and off stage, I’m all for gear that makes life easier and lets your identity shine through.
🥁 What Are QuikSknz?
QuikSknz make custom front skins for bass drums, printed with your own design or logo. They use a stretch polyester fabric that attaches with an elastic bungee cord system — meaning no drilling, no glue, and no messing around with your existing head. You can fit one in minutes (maybe even seconds when you’re good at it) and remove it just as quickly.
They currently cover 20”–24” bass drums, which suits the most popular sizes, and they’re designed to be sound-neutral so your tone stays untouched.
Have a look at their socials on Instagram.
💡 Why I Rate It (and How It Aligns With the Above Average Mindset)
For me, QuikSknz is more than a branding gimmick. It’s a tool for self-expression — exactly what Above Average Clothing is built around. Whether it’s a neon pink Vicky O’Neon collab piece, or a DRMMR tee repping the “no ego. just evolution.” mantra, the goal is the same: be seen, be authentic, and be you.
That’s what a QuikSknz head does on stage. You’re not shouting for attention; you’re owning your space quietly but confidently — and that’s the Above Average way.
🔧 Design & Durability
Every skin starts with your design — QuikSknz accept vector artwork or high-res images and send you a mock-up before printing. The polyester wrap holds its colour well under stage lights and doesn’t crease or wrinkle easily, even after being packed down multiple times.
If you’ve ever tried touring with a fragile printed head, you’ll know how quickly things scuff and fade. I felt the QuikSknz material at the UK Drum Show and it genuinely seems tougher than most printed options out there, while still lightweight enough to keep setup simple. No one likes messing about with different printed heads and having to re tune.
