In any case, if I were going to call a store in Raleigh & ask questions 
about drums, it'd be 2112: www.2112online.com

Having said that, there seem to be a lot of stores on the web selling 
full-bleed custom-printed bass drum heads & suchlike:

Coolest front head I've seen in ages was on the dude from Man Man's 
drum. It was some kind of crazy decoupage with a knight and a crashing 
jetliner & sadly I have already forgotten the exact detailed brilliance 
of it. It was backlit by a light inside the drum, too.

As far as concern about the sound, once you cut a hole in the head, all 
bets are off, and in any case, most drummers shove a whole bunch of 
shite inside the drum to make it sound as shitty as possible, so a 
little bit of stuff glued to the head isn't going to matter much one way 
 or another.
