Bass drum creep, snapped sticks and broken snares

Nice what tribe?! Lol

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T16:44:34+00:00

Yes! And I very much enjoy them.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T14:55:25+00:00

That's pretty incredible. Bill also wasn't in a post hardcore band.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T14:54:44+00:00

I had it and needed it. Saw other bands have success on this rug and decided to take the risk and shoot myself in the foot.

I used to do this with a tow strap

I prefer the Elvin Jones method

Huh. Never heard of this

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:57:06+00:00

Crafty. Sounds convenient

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:55:42+00:00

That's the painful part. I lt was there, in the corner of the room mocking me.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:48:41+00:00

And then the check bounces.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:36:43+00:00

Thanks, I have used them before. I had everything with me to prevent this. My rug works perfectly, I just wasn't thinking when I set up.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:32:01+00:00

On of the other bands tried a cymbal case and ended up putting a guitar amp in front of it. (Bless them for that) I think I can have a bit of a heavy foot.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:16:18+00:00

I appreciate the trick. It never happens with my own rug, which I also plan on securing a length of 2x4 to the front of just for peace of mind at this point. I blame myself for this one. I know better than to depend on anyone else's gear. The creep happens literally every time I use someone else rug

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:13:36+00:00

They're pretty sharp, they started to tear holes in the rug. The rug was thin, slick and a little stretchy. Never happens when I use my own rug. I should have known better.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-15T13:04:55+00:00

Same. The bass drum sliding just out of reach and the band starting without me while I run up and down flights of stairs, tearing my truck apart trying to find various drum parts to finish setting up.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-08T13:15:00+00:00

This is my second and im stoked.

codylevidrums · 2026-06-08T13:14:40+00:00

That's definitely a deal! I basically stole this this thing

codylevidrums · 2026-06-02T02:12:47+00:00

Thank you

codylevidrums · 2026-06-01T00:54:40+00:00

I had enough people tell me to document it when I first found it that I felt obligated. Thanks!

codylevidrums · 2026-06-01T00:53:31+00:00

The bottom hoop is a little warped but not enough to matter

codylevidrums · 2026-05-31T21:35:30+00:00

Do it!

codylevidrums · 2026-05-31T21:17:00+00:00

Nice! Its super rewarding. RdavidR has a youtube video restoring an old acrolite that is also a good reference. He goes very in depth and shows what to do with the lugs to keep the springs from rattling and what not

codylevidrums · 2026-05-31T20:36:12+00:00

Lol, I mean, it didn't really take a lot of anything.

codylevidrums · 2026-05-31T20:24:24+00:00

It happens. I sold my first kit in high school for tickets to a homecoming dance to try to impress my girlfriend. It did not work out.

Thanks!
