Felt and Gaffer Tape my man.
+1, I use grip tape on my kits. I buy 2" wide tape at hardware store by the foot.I bought a kit that came with a pice of 3M branded tape, off the top of my head it might be called Safety Walk.
In the past I came across a skateboard shop on an industrial estate and bought a similiarly industrial sized piece of skateboard grip tape for a couple of pounds. I'm not sure I'll ever use it all but it's seen use on both sides of the hoop on several kits since I bought it many moons ago.
Excellent suggestion, John! Thanks.Old belts work fine. They don't need to be four inches wide but only as wide as the pedal mount on top and bottom.
Excellent suggestion, John! Thanks.
Under closer scrutiny, the Tackle Protector incorporates an adhesive backing, but I did find another comparable that looks as though it may not. I would think a straight friction joint would suffice to keep the pedal in place.
I use the same product MusiQmaN uses. http://www.drum-n-base.com/hoop-protect-180/No one else is protecting the hoop???.
2nd the drumnbase protector. Imo the best one on the market.I use the same product MusiQmaN uses. http://www.drum-n-base.com/hoop-protect-180/
Haven't had a need to remove one .... so I can't answer those questions for you. If I sell a bass drum that has one, it goes with the drum.
