Hi,
I recently purchased a 6" mountable RealFeel HQ practice pad, along with a Stagg LYD 25.2 stand to mount it on. However, although the pad fits tightly onto the stand, it tends to come loose after a few minutes of hitting. Loose to the extent that it beings to turn (i.e. spin slightly) while I'm practicing. Very annoying!
I've had a look and it appeared that the thread of the stand was not fixed solid and was, itself, turning slightly as I was attaching the pad to it. Not much, the pad seemed to fit fairly tightly when first attached, but enough to mean that a few minutes of hitting would loosen it. I've tried holding the threaded bit with pliers while tightly attaching the pad, but it still seems to come loose after a few minutes.
Apologies if I've not explained this too well, but is this a general problem with mountable practice pads? Does anybody have any recommendations for good stands or pads, or is this a common issue? Or are there any tricks to preventing a pad from coming loose?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer,
Chris.
