Just thought I'd share this in memory of a very cool cat named Jerry (LN blanking). Back in the day, ('70s, possibly very late 60's) I didn't even know spurs existed. Maybe they didn't, I am not sure. I was a child of 7 or 8 for frig's sake!
The solution of the traveling bass drum was given to me by the afore mentioned, very cool cat drummer influence of my child hood: tie a rope to the bottom key of the bass, loop it around a leg of the drum stool, and tie onto the obvious other key of the bass drum. Dat muther ain't going anywhere you don't.
To this day, I carry some thin rope in my bag.
p.s also used it for years of playing with no fancy "spurs" or mats. It is infallible. ...Infallible I say!
