Often, when I go into a studio I encounter a high hat stand that will move all over the floor. I have a heavy foot and I tend to keep it going. I often have to pull the stand nearer mid song. Typically, this occurs when the studio has removed the spikes on the stand to protect their crappy floors.
Often I have to move an amp, brick, or some piece of heavy equipment in front of it- but this is often not an option due to mics, space etc. Sometimes I can tape one of the stand's legs to a crash cymbal stand and that helps a little. I have been thinking of taking a piece of string and tying the stand to the drum throne but I think it will get in the way.
This has been a problem for me forever and it is driving me bananas. Any ideas for a solution that I can take with me in my already-overstuffed cymbal bag from gig to gig would be greatly appreciated.
