What is the best kind of tape to mark the position of stands, pedals, etc. on a drum rug and where can I get this tape?
I glued a rubber backed carpet to my drum riser and all the legs and feet left dents where they set so I didnt have to mark it with anything.
Drum riser? luxury!!! I would be happy with a cardboard box.
Where can I get gaff tape?+1 on the gaff tape. Depending on the rug material, you might be able to use the "hook" part of Velcro. In that case, get the kind that is sewn on - it doesn't have adhesive - and cut into strips as needed. That way it's easily removed and reapplied when position changes, and won't leave a residue on the rug like gaff or duct tape can do.
Avoid making permanent marks on the rug with a Sharpie... they're permanent!

I made my own drum riser with wheels that also doubles as my hardware case and all my stands fit in it at full length without breaking them down, I just fold the legs in, put them in the riser, fold it in half and lock it, then roll it out to the trailer.
