i wonder how you guys deal with "a running bass drum" ... it's those situations where the drum kit is on top of some un-carpeted wooden stage, and each time you step on the bass pedal, the bass drum runs forward until you eventually have to pull it back.
Same thing with double peds with the same surface... the slave pedal just slips until you stop or else risk damaging the shaft connectors.
So, i am curious... what do you guys do in such situations? what emergency stuff do you bring to prevent such?
