I bet a custom bass drum head site could help you out. Look better, too.
Proudly playing:
Doc Sweeney Drums
A bunch of snares
A bunch of cymbals
Off-Set double pedals
I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!
There are several online places like BumWrap and DrumArt that probably either have them in stock or you can send them the logo and they'll make it for you. Give it a whirl.
Extrapolating & scaling from a head-on photo of Bonham and drums:
each circle Diameter is 1 foot with a thickness of 3/4"
putting all three circles together you get a design 77.6" Wide x 70" Height
The design is hardly ever centered on the reso, usually down slightly to keep from interfering with the Ludwig logo.
That's all I can give you...

I downloaded this pic from vintagelogos.com
This head is 26" and exactly what you are looking for. Check out their website and you will see this pic in their gallery and you can order it.
or if you bring this photo to scale you may be able to figure out the sizes of the rings etc and make your own.

You are pretty close with the ring sizes sling but I do not understand the 77.6 x70.0 can you explain.
It's approximate the square area for the design, if you drew a rectangle around the design, that's all (which is not square but irregular.) Or think of it as the size of the sheet of decal needed. You could do it yourself but you need a compass(use tape to protect the reso from compass needles!) or really big plate to trace with a marker and fill in/paint the design. If you make a mistake with the markers on a clear reso just use rubbing alcohol to wipe it clean.
DIY: If you could get some big tag board(18" sq.) you could cut 2 concentric circles with scissors out of that and trace those for the inner and outer circle parts.
OK, enough details...

Now that is better sling. I just thought there was something you knew and I didn't but did not want to start an argument. I was wondering about your measurements if the were in metric cause your numbers where insane.Thanks for verifying that.
No problem....Adobe Illustrator CS4: hate to live with it, can't do without it!
