Stencil and spray-paint is the low-rent aproach.  But you might try a sign 
company.  They have these cool CAD driven sign cutters that make mulitcolor 
adhesive signs.  I don't know how those would hold up to vibration or what 
impact they might have on your drum's sound.  Single color might work best.

Call Mars in Raleigh.  They might be able to help you with custom 
drumn-signage.
