Stevo,
Have not seen a reso-side/Roland bass drum head/cover customizer and would be interested if anyone else has. Love Roland, but if you are gigging with these, does not mean we all need to advertise that audience-facing logo!
Checked the usual suspects (drumart, etc.) and no word on mesh heads, let alone options in the needed small size range.
Short of custom reso-side head art options, something in front of the drum, but with minimal footprint, may be an alternate options. Ready made option, funds permitting, is to get a skinny bass drum-(only 6 inches wide), black finish, to slide in front of the kit/bass drum, and then use that standard reso head for the logo. Would need to work out the size with the Roland kit, however, to make sure it is not outsized in comparison. (Believe the skinny bass drums are 6x22--so they may overwhelm the lower profile of the Roland kit.) Or, and double check existing threads on this, a broken floor tom or small bass drum may provide other cutting down/Roland kit-fronting options.
