The best easy solution I've found is foam rubber shelf liner, the kind with small square holes in a checker pattern. I have found it at Dollar Tree for $1. For me it has worked great on slick hard wood, carpet, and concrete, with a kick pad and with an acoustic kit.
What I did (with a Milleinium MPS-750 kickpad) was to use a carpet (a little smaller than the whole rack, but anything works) und put a piece of wood under it. I then ran some extra screws through the kick tower (drilled holes into the metal), carpet and wood. It's absolutely rock solid.
Justin, I find all of your videos remarkably valuable. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm just getting started, but I'm sure I will save hundreds of dollars based on your wisdom. Thanx again.
Hi Dear, the video on such a small but relevant issue is generally found less. With so many solutions and with such a good illustrative video, you deserve a 200 marks out of 100. Thankyou and will try some of the solutions
Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit came with lots of velcro strips but no tips on how to use it. On a hardwood floor, used your tip to tie the drum throne to the kick pedal. Works perfectly. Thanks.
I just picked up an alesis nitro set and I think for the money it's great, i'm an older drummer and I've had the massive acoustic sets and unless your in a touring band making a living playing, there's no reason to have a "30" piece set , just my thought but like everything everybody has an opinion and take it or leave it, I don't care. I got a very good deal on this kit and I think I'm going to enjoy it,
I found an old 30-lb dumbbell and arranged it so it rests 1/2 on the ground and 1/2 on top of the diagonal part of the frame on the back of the kick tower. A combination of this and using the screws to attach to the carpet. Solid as a rock.
If you have a small td 11 type set you can fit it easily on a 3 by 5 rug. I got one at Lowes with rubber non skid backing for 25$ and it works great. Then you can use the screws even if you are on a hard surface.
Thank you. Great vid as usual. On my Alesis tower I just added weight (read: Steel scraps from work) to keep it from fleeing. i have carpet (drum rug) over nice wood floors, so I couldn't just jack the carpet spikes down to the max (because they have the possibility of going straight through regular carpet with repeated use). BTW the budget vibration dampening platform from v-drum tips took the anxiety out of the whole situation, and works much better than expected :)
Same problem here. Makes playing double kick really difficult. Basically hitting a moving target each kick. Anybody have any solves. Can’t figure out anything in the last 4 years. I use a drum rug with a kick block and it does nothing to stop it from going side to side
Maybe its the kick pedal itself not gripping the kick pad well? Thats my only guess. I'm hitting up the music store tomorrow. I'll have 4 kick pedals by the end of this.... aghhhhh
I use the KD-10 but the problem is with the Axis pedals, u have to keep the pedal off center so the beaters hit the center of the pad. Cause the pad to wobble
Great video! My daughter had this problem with her Alesis Nitro drum set. I put a broom handle on the floor just inside the drum mounting frame, and the kick drum stopped moving. So like tip No.4 but you don't need to pay for anything.
@@jerkface85 her’s a picture drive.google.com/file/d/11ck-uxD7BSDRqOA0dMHQAFYfceHuyH_x/view?usp=drivesdk. Hope that helps! Let me know when you’ve seen it so I can take it down again. Also note the whole kit is on a bit of carpet, and the drum stool is also on that carpet. If you put some velcro (the hooks part) under the kick it will stick to the carpet. If you are certain where you want your kick to be you could then stick the other half of the velcro directly to the carpet too, then you won’t even need the broom.
I'm a bass player primarily but wanted to get an electric kit to have someone to record with at my home. None of these suggestions work for my set up. I just got a Donner DED-200 and I've tried everything to keep the damn thing from wobbling side to side. I already have a drum rug with a wooden brick sewn into it. That's prevent the thing from sliding forward but I need that piece completely fixed because there's alot of double pedal usage in my music. I'm going to try the sandbag approach and just weigh it down as best I can.
When I played in my high school's spring musical, we were on a gym floor and even with the rug, the bass drum pad had a tendency to slip, so I used cinder blocks in front of the pad and the thing never moved. So if you have bricks or some heavy object of a similar nature, they will definitely work.
I really do appreciate that man. It really helps a lot but once again I'm still learning a little more about the electronic drums and I think that I'm getting too comfortable of those drums I still love acoustic drums that's without a doubt that's always be the #1 but when comes to like duel band (a keyboard and drummer or guitar and a drummer) I would love to a electronic drums. But I said I'm using a Yamaha DD-75 electric drums. and yes I'm on a real tight budget that I can't afford a full electronic drums set so I bought myself a (as you call it) a tabletop electric drums. Yes I hooked it up to make look like a pro like a electric drum set system.
My issue isn't the kick running away but it starts to wobble left and right while doing slower double kick. Like triplets or slow 16th notes it starts to rock right and left with every hit. Any advice? Roland KD10 with Pearl Demon Drive.
Cool tips ! Be careful with n° 5 though. At first I did that. Because I have limited space, my kickpad was against a guitar case. Actually the Noise Eater carrying it was making contact with the case. As you may know, the NE has rubber all around, and I was making a contact over the whole width not just a corner. Still, after a few days of practice I noticed the NE had started grinding the case into dust. Luckily, a guitar case is made to be beaten-up and I don't mind the scratch, but I would say if you apply this tip, be sure to not put it against something valuable and/or protect it well.
Tks. The easiest I found was to simply tie a piece of string/nylon chord/ electrical cord - whatever from the center piece of the drum stool to the bass drum pedal, nylon chord works the best because it's very strong so you can use a very thin piece and it doesn't interfere with your b/d pedal at all. Your pedal won't move a millimetre - guaranteed, and your stool *IS* usually right in front of the pedal. The only problem you might have is if your pedals base is a solid piece, with others it has the detachable piece making it a cinch to take on and off.
For the Roland TD11 kickdrum (no legs). I do have a rug and it does not slide but it rocks when I try to do quick doubles. I am going to try sand bag weights.
Thanks for this helpful vid. For me, my Alesis Surge BD tower is on carpet and stays put just fine. The problem is, the whole BD and pedal assembly is on carpet and the whole assembly shakes slightly with each hit. No matter what sensitivity settings I use, I get double hits, with the second hit being very low velocity. I suspect the second it is being triggered by the tower shaking, if only a little. Any tips to address that?
Did you ever get this solved? I think I'm gonna have to buy another kick pedal that actually fits my alesis DM10 MK II Pro. My mapex pedals don't grip on it right - it lifts the whole kick pad off the ground, then it wobbles loose.
@@brittislove I did the bungee chords, and put the kit agains a wall which has improved things slightly but no. I’ve gone back to single pedal for now. Might look into getting a bracket made.
I have an alesis dm7x kit... The bass drum pedal that came with this thing is a piece of junk that triggers actually attached to the pedal I want to replace it I was wondering if I can use them or newer model alesis traditional bass drum trigger with a regular Old School Bass drum pedal hooked to a do you know if that would work you have any advice please help
I am using a luggage strap to connect the kickpad to my seat, as I am the heaviest item in the set (lol), once I sit down, the kickpad cannot go further away any more.
So mine bass pedal rocks back and forth and has a small bar in the back. I put a brick on it but it's still rocking when I much cause the second kick not to hit or make sound
Justin i have a question. Do you have any experience with the pearl tutrac pads? I want to convert my old acoustic kit but just the kick, toms and snare. I have no idea if i should go for in shell drum triggers or ddrum dual triggers or for the pearl pads. Could you help me out? Love the content by the way :-)
The ddrum triggers won't give you the best dynamic range, so if you go the mesh head route (which I like the best) be triggers that go under the drumhead, like ones from jobeky or r-drums. The TruTrac pads are a decent way to go, but it's not my favorite playing surface. It is a much simpler conversion though because it's a all in one system.
just take a 15 lb or 20 dumbell place it on the back off the pad half on the floor half on the kickpad works great I play alot of quick 16th to 32nd notes on my double kick and I doesn't move at all
I know this isn't related to this video but I need to know... Can a Roland TD 11kv use drum software on pc like superior drummer? Been watching for a week now and basically been binge watching all of your vids :)
1. yup, almost every electronic drumset ever made works with drum software. 2. Thanks for watching! It might take you awhile lol, I've got over 200 videos.. Don't go back too far, the old ones kinda suck
Ok... this might be a really dumb question, but I read somewhere that you can't trigger rim and head at the same time, so I want to ask if that is true, and if it is, than how do you make a rim shot?
You probably read that edrums can't trigger 2 sounds at once. So even when you hit both sensors at the same time, you get the rimshot sound, and that's only one sound.
I just got an Alesis crimson 2 se. I've had a Roland and a high end Yamaha dtxtreme 2 in the past. I've never had an issue. This mesh style larger surface area pad sux. It doesn't "move" as such but it rocks back and forward enough to do all these annoying double hits and also zero hits when you kick. Both Roland and Yamaha had a rubber style. So annoyed, as the rest of the set up is great, but at the moment it's unplayable because of that.
This is great and all but my Alesis bass drum just shakes and wobbles like crazy. It doesn’t move forward so much but just rattles all around when I strike the kick. It makes it seems so unstable
If you're going to use the spikes. you should get a large utility mat (like a door mat but the size of your whole kit). This is common with acoustic kits too, to prevent movement and prevent your floors from getting torn up. Like the drum rug he references
Adding Velcro to both my kick pad and double pedal really took care of the problem, so much that it can be a pain to readjust. ssssqqqquuuuaaaaAAAHHHHSSSSS!!!
I never have a problem with my e-bass (kick) tower creeping. (So far I have owned the Roland and Yamaha bass drum towers)… I have my kit on a neoprene set of pads (the kind that lock together and look like jigsaw pieces), and with that setup, I can deploy My bass tower anti creep screws (spikes). Further, my bass pedal sits on a platform which also has anti-creep screws. Together, those two create the mass and anchoring needed to keep my bass assembly well planted. …. Now I don’t have a double bass pedal setup, which naturally would cause an e-drum bass tower to torque side to side or left and right, because the impact is not center mass, as it is with a single pedal. Therefore the creep problem might be more relative to the use of a double bass pedal setup, opposed to using a single bass pedal. …. The best drum rug I have used, is a simple industrial Rubber backed, low nap, rug, most of us trample over when entering a commercial building. These rugs are built to take years of punishment, and they work very well for drum kit rugs, plus, if they get dirty or stained, you can was them as you would, vehicle floor mats. ….. My 2 cents worth, and as usual, great video Jason…
Are you running out of adjustment on your kick pedal clamp before it can clamp down on your kick drum? If so, cut a rubber hose in half and wedge it between the pedal clamp and the base plate of the kick drum.
Variation of 7 that I use, I bought a rug from the hardware store, and i rolled up the end a little bit so that there is a bump, and the kick drum pad sits against that bump, so it works basically the same as that wood block that was mentioned. The rug doesnt move because my chair (or drum throne, if you're using one) is anchoring it in place.
1. ditch cheap kicks, and get a better one like Laurin, Yamaha or roland. 2. Install a cross bar on your rack so it traps the kick. 3. Install outrigger spurs via pearl rotating clamps.
one time i saw a fat foot thing and i said hey ill do that but home made so i used a guitar strap... spoiler it didnt work and now i have a strap tied to my throne in a realllllyyyyyyyy tight knot
Warning for number 4: if you put your kd9(what j have) and put the bar there might be a chance that the whole thing attached to the pole( module crash symbals, all the pads, hi hat(If you didnt brought the vh11 or 12,13) everything will start moving back it may be how hard you hit the kick pad or your rug or whatever you are using underneath your drum set
Instead of a metal bar going across the rack, I use bungy cords. Works great!
I just took the simplest sulotion and put some weights on the kickdrum and it got a low centre of gravity and now it is rock solid. Great vid btw man!
hey whatever gets the job done!

Same! Drivers me nuts. Makes it really hard to play. Any solutions guys?
My solution was actually to just place a 20 lbs weight I had against the back of the pedal....it pretty well stops it from moving
Tip 4 boom! Why the hell haven't I already thought of that!
It works really well :)
1. ditch cheap kicks, and get a better one like Laurin, Yamaha or roland. 2. Install a cross bar on your rack so it traps the kick. 3. Install outrigger spurs via pearl rotating clamps.
true
I used to use velcro but I had no idea the screws were...well screws lol
I use velcro tape...
I guess the main tip here is to get carpet.
DUCT TAPE A BRICK TO THE SLANT ON THE BACK NEVER COST ME A PENNY
very true
r u in green screen
Nope, that’s my house
i see it now but the lighting does look a bit funny but i believe you
I just put weights on the spikes boom ez clap
8. put your drum amp in front of the kick pad so it won't move.
that works too
one time i saw a fat foot thing and i said hey ill do that but home made so i used a guitar strap... spoiler it didnt work and now i have a strap tied to my throne in a realllllyyyyyyyy tight knot
Just like the fat foot, just tie your kick pedal to your throne
Warning for number 4: if you put your kd9(what j have) and put the bar there might be a chance that the whole thing attached to the pole( module crash symbals, all the pads, hi hat(If you didnt brought the vh11 or 12,13) everything will start moving back it may be how hard you hit the kick pad or your rug or whatever you are using underneath your drum set
CHUCK NORRIS !!!
Yeah. My kick drum pad has the Velcro on it and refuses to stick to the type of carpet I have lol this drumming shit is so annoying lmao
I removed the spikes and replaced them with 2 screws and screwed that sucker directly into the wood floor. Problem solved.
i just ducttaped my kickdrum to my floor
That'll do the trick haha :)
