I do have a carpet, but it's 2 feet by 3 feet to conserve space. It's one of those olefin rubber back/nappy top carpets used in public buildings. It barely holds the hihat stand, who percussion pedals and bass pedal in place. I have tape markings on the carpet at home, however.
That is the one problem in my system, accurate stand placement. Having so few stands means I have less to align, but on the other hand, if just one stand is out of alignment, all the toms and cymbals on it are also out of alignment!
Makes sense. The only adjustments I sometimes have to do is either with the rack-legs to accomodate a drum riser or the actual windage of the side-arms because of a small amount of play in the memory locks. That distance multiplied by a couple feet makes for a couple inches difference at the end of an side arm. Enough to notice when your floor tom or hi-hat is a little too close or far.
