Hi guys. For my gigs I have a proper drum mat with grippy textured rubber backing that doesn't move. But at home with my electric practise kit I have a cheap mat with a rubber backing that is smooth and has no grip. This was fine until I decided to cut up the mat and just keep a small section of it which is just under 3 foot long now. It's on a ceramic tiled floor and slides forward as I play the bass drum pedal. I'm wondering if you'd suggest some double sided sticky thing I could put under it to adhere to the rubber backing and the ceramic tiles?
Here you can see the backing. Not much texture really.

This is where I want my drum throne positioned in relation ṭo the mat, where the drum throne leg is.

If the throne leg is on the mat, there's no problem with it moving but the problem with that is I'm then too close for the pedal. I either need another piece of mat that is a few centimetres longer for the leg to go on or something to stick under the mat. I'm annoyed I didn't cut out a slightly longer piece of the mat, lol.
