the CARPET thread

[kimpoy19]

Another benefit we can get from carpets is that it will improve the sound of your floor tom.

sir, in what part kayang maka improve ng carpet in floor tomtom?

[adidas ni hudas]

Boss pakinggan mo yung floor tom sa semento at sa makapal na carpet. Malaman mo sinasabi ko.

di ko pa napansin yung improvement, pero i think dahil makapal yung carpet, it absorbs the excess sound the floor tom produces? hehe meybe.

finally got my carpet hehe.
thanks to mamita!
nung una maliit lang kasi carpet ko, kaya yung slave pedal ko nakausli(and i have to put another rag to protect it.) and i like the way it gives room for the stands and the "future stands" ayos!

Naku...ako din! nung isang taon ko lang nadiskubre yung 'Carpet Tile'. Astig! kasi....ayus pa yung mga kulay (simple lang).

Hindi ko pa nagagamit yung akin...pero baka bukas baka may pagkakataon makakuha ng litrato...lalagay ko. 

Galing din ako sa Puzzle Mat. Hindi masyado kita sa mga litrato:

..pero nakakainis lang misan sa Puzzle Mat...hindi pantay (kailangan mo pang padyakan!)

Sa mga nagaakala ng magiging madulas yung Carpet Tile...wag kayo mahawa sa maling akala! Kung ikukumpara nga...mas madulas pa yung Puzzle Mat ko kaysa yung carpet tile. Basta lang siguro...siguraduhin lang bago umalis sa tindahan na  nasubukan na sa PINAKAMADULAS na sahig (minsan kahoy...kasi ganun yung stage minsan diba? kahoy na madulas?)

carpet tile works for me

Teka...hindi ba malambot yung Yoga Mat? (o baka exercise mat yung iniisip ko?)

ang saken gamit ko ung yoga mat, hinati ko sa dalawa. presto. di sia dumudulas. 

[kimpoy19]

try niyo yung Goma,. I bought it worth 300php sa marikina.

[l_e_i_g_h]

salamat kimpoy.

Meron na akong goma (puzzle mat)...pero nakakasar pagdugtungin minsan.

Kaya Carpet Tile nalang ako. Nagamit ko na nung isang buan...ayus!

haha, 
kung saan ka comfortable sir,

[kimboy]

ok yung carpet tile.. lalo na yung mga high traffic.. madali pa cya isetup at linisin.. yung nga lang mdyo mahal.. pero sulit yun.. =)

[l_e_i_g_h]

Tama ka diyan Kimboy...may kamahalan nga depende sa binibili.

Pero...kung mahal talaga siya (ako hindi ako bibili kung mahal! hehehe)....puede naman yung rolyo na goma (parang welcome mat na walang butas), minsan mas madali pa itong hanapin kasya Carpet tile.

Kaso lang...ako naman...hindi na puede rolyo...kasi medyo mahirap buhatin.

tanong lang po, para dun sa mga naka double peds(specifically gibraltar avanger series), how do you manage to make the slave pedal stay in place? may velcro nga yung base nito but it never sticks to my carpet. i would always find it a feet away from me after the chorus!hehehe any solutions out there?

salamat!

you can tape down the base of the slave pedal 

[mambo]

thanks! ah its not gonna ruin the carpet right? good idea though..might try that one!

[ghostalker]

ok rin yung rubber mat. bili sana ako ng carpet sa sm, pero para makatipid, bumili akong rubber mat 500 pesos lang malaki na. the rubber also absorbs sound. hehe

kahit anong klaseng rubber mat ba? ano sukat ng 500pesos worth rubber mat na yan? magkano ba yung sa ace hardware na rubber mat?

napadaan ako dito kahit hindi ako drummer, kasi ito problema sa studio ko (ka-start pa lang ng business). bumili kasi nanay ng ng mala-carpet kaso manipis dumudulas yung bass drum.

kung generic carpet na angkop sa drums, san po kaya nakakabili, I'm from valenzuela po. and how much?

Yung size po ng platform ng drums set ko ay nasa less than 6ft x 6ft

Buhayin ko lang tong thread na to..

Madalas na-te-take for granted naten itong carpet at hindi naten napapansin mga nagagawa niya para sa atin at sa minamahal nateng instrumento..

Kwento ko lang, last week nagka-gig ako. Dinala ko si misis(drums ko) kasi gusto ko siya yung gamitin ko sa gig na yon. Siyempre dinala ko rin ang Carpet niya para di umurong ang drums at yung comfort na rin na binibigay niya.

Sa lahat ng naging gigs ko, maikli man o matagal, outdoor man o indoor, malayo man o malapit, Pag dinadala ko ang drums ko, laging kasama yung carpet. Dahil alam kong ang laking bagay niya para saken lalo na pag kasalukuyan akong tumutugtog. Ang masaya pa don, maingat ako sa gamit eh. Obsessive-Compulsive. Madamot ako pag dating sa drums ko, maliban na lang kung talagang kilala kita o kaya nasa itsura mo ang marunong mag alaga at mag ingat ng drums..

Eto ngayon ang pinuputok ng butchi ko.. Nung araw ng gig last week, ang dameng taong makukulit. Parang ngayon lang nakakita ng drums, ng drummer ng malapitan, ng nagsesetup ng drums, (pardon me, hindi po sa pagyayabang ano. pero sana nakukuha niyo gusto kong sabihin.). Nakaka-inis lang na nung tapos na ko mag set up at mag sound check na kasama pa ang banda, siyempre oras na ng meryenda. May mga taong hindi naman drummer pero manghihiram ng sticks, di ko sila kilala. Tas lalapit sa drums, uupo, tatapikin. Nakakainit ng ulo. Pag sinaway, sasabihan ka pa ng madamot. Opo sinaway ko pero sa maayos at makataong paraan. Hindi ako nagpahiram ng sticks, at nung kakaen na kame ng mga kabanda ko, hinarangan ko pa ng mga gamit yung drums para walang makalapit o maka-upo sa throne..

Ang ending, pagbalik ko pagkatapos kumaen, kagulat gulat at katakot takot ang sinapit ng carpet ko!!!

KEYBOARD SMASH!!! dfhjkjkqwfjhbqwhyiqxyqr382q43q843qo74qtupge!@#$%^&*()iwfyfawi

Yung carpet po ay may nakatabing pinagkainan ng Cup Noodles, may mga nakatapon pang pansit mula sa cup noodles na yon.. Ang dumi ng carpet gawa ng mga sapatos ng nagdadaanang mga tao na galing pa sa labas eh umuulan non.. At ang pinaka-kupal !@#$%^&*() sa lahat, MAY BUBBLE GUM na yung carpet!!! Parang bubble gum na galing sa sapatos na tinapak sa carpet..

Buong gig ang sama lang talaga ng loob ko di ako maka-concentrate kakaisip sa carpet.. Di ko naman inaway yung mga tao na lumalapit sa drums ko para gawin nila yon, sa halip, pinakiusapan ko lang na bantayan sana. Nung may manghihiram ng stick, sinabi ko kakaen lang ako. So siyempre di ko naman pwede iwan yung sticks ko kasi baka mamaya puro dents na yung cymbals di ba?

Nagulat lang ako dun pa pala kumaen ng pansit, dinadaan-daanan pa ng kung sino kahit nakatabi naman at hindi naka-balandra sa daanan ng tao.. Hay buhay!

Nagkuwento lang talaga ko dahil gusto ko maglabas ng sama ng loob, pero ang sadya ko talaga, pano ko matatanggal yung bubble gum? tsaka magkano kaya magpalaba ng carpet? tsaka ano pa ang dapat kong gawin para sana magamit pa yung carpet? Yung carpet ko pala yung Gretsch na galing sa JB.. Sana matulungan niyo ko mga sir.. alam kong naiintindihan niyo galit ko ngayon! Salamat!

Sa lahat ng naging gigs ko na dinala ko yung drums at yung carpet niya, ngayon lang nangyari saken to.. Sana may napulot kayong aral dito.. Salamat

Nice story bro, and don't worry, we share your emotions and frustrations! For me its a matter of mind set, expect that the worst will happen and prepare for it. What I usually do when there are "kids" around the church I play for, I usually take out the snare, fold the throne, and put my sticks on the bag. Somehow may konting hiya naman sila not to take the equipment out of their bags/cases kaya in turn hindi na sila nakaka palo. Hehehe!

I understand that it is a very hard situation wherein you spent a lot of time and money to have your own equipment, off course you would want to use it to have your own comfort and preferred sonic quality tapos ma dadamage lang or masisira ng ibang tao. It is really frustrating and to ad to that a lot of people don't understand it at ikaw pa ang lalabas na masama at madamot. I take your side bro, mas ok na matawag na madamot in situations like this because they don't understand. If they are passionate about drumming sa well they should go through the hardships of investing in their own equipment as well.

As for the gum on your carpet bro, WD40 should do the trick, spray it directly to the gum and let it soak, it should loosen up until you will be able to pull it off.

Cheers!

The mere fact that we understand each other when it comes to our music gears helps me ease the discomfort I'm experiencing.. Bad trip talaga mga taong hindi marunong umintindi pag dating sa ganyan eh.. Palibhasa kasi hindi sa kanila at hindi sila yung nag-invest.. Anyway, thanks to the ideas you and sir Riff gave.. I hope to have a free time soon as possible to get the cleaning started. Thanks!

[Riff_6603]

@chakky - share ko lang best practice ko, meron akong rubber mat na ginagamit as my gig carpet. nabili ko siya way back sa SM for 800php. you might opt to invest on one as well para hindi ka ma-hassle next time you bring along your set sa gigs and stuff. regards!

yup! make sure yung makapal na rubber mat bilhin mo at hindi yung manipis. nasa 1.5K na pala yung mat na ganun, may nakita ako sa ACE hardware kanina.
