Team info
DescriptionBass drum creep does NOT refer to the scary guy with the bass drum, its the term utilised to describe the frustrating circumstance when your kick drum begins sliding further and additional away from you with each stroke of your bass drum pedal.

Setting up your kit on a great thick rug or a carpet that the spikes at the finish of your bass drum legs can sink their teeth into will normally assist keep bass drum creep at bay. For a second perspective, please consider having a peep at: analyze drummer girl. (If your bass drum legs never have spikes, replace them with ones that do. Any decent drum shop will carry replacement bass drum legs at a affordable price tag.)

Make sure your carpet is huge enough to fit your complete kit, like your throne. The weight of your body on the throne will assist maintain the bass drum from sliding away with the whole carpet.

Adjust the bass drum legs so that the front of the drum is an inch or two off the ground and the drum is resting at a slight angle. This shifts a lot more of the drums weight onto the legs themselves and assists the spikes dig in far more properly, which should put an end to most bass drum creep difficulties.

At times, specifically for those of us kicking the drum pretty hard in loud scenarios, setting up on a carpet is just not enough!

Here is an extra tiny trick that will End bass drum creep problems.

To get different ways to look at it, we recommend people take a gander at: drummer investigation. Now mark your carpet exactly where you want the front of your bass drum to sit. Drill three quarter inch diameter holes by way of the wood a single hole in the middle and a single near every single finish.

Utilizing some good, huge, 2 inch washers and 1/4 inch thick bolts in fact bolt the wood to your carpet at the front edge of your bass drum. For alternative viewpoints, we understand people have a gaze at: female drummer. Make positive to place the flattest component of the bolt on the below side of the carpet so that your carpet nevertheless lays quite flat. I also like to put a layer or two of gaffers tape over the end of the bolt so that it does not scratch up any good wooden floors that take place to be underneath the carpet.

Now when you set up just slide the front of the bass drum right up against the piece of wood you have bolted to the carpet, and it will not slide any additional!

It functions ideal if you get the wood wide sufficient that the legs themselves truly bump up against the wood block though it will function fine with the rim of the drum against the wood block - just be certain to cover the wood with foam or thick fabric to avert the wood from damaging the rim and lugs of your drum!

Let me know how well it operates for you..
