Explore Drum Rug Options for Stability and Style
So, you’ve got your drum kit sounding just right, and you’ve taken the steps to ensure its longevity on the road. What’s left? A proper drum rug, of course! Investing early on in a drum rug or drum mat provides a stable foundation for your shells and hardware while enhancing the look of your performance space.
Most drum rugs and mats include non-slip or skid-resistant bottoms to help keep your stands and drums from creeping away as you play. These non-slip rugs are designed to give you a more secure foundation even during your longest sessions. With a relatively uniform build across the market, size and appearance are the main factors that differ between options.
How Big of a Drum Mat Do You Really Need?
Your most important consideration when choosing the drum mat, or rug, should be drum rug size. You can easily play on a rug that is slightly too large for your kit setup, but having a rug that is too small can cause certain components, such as your kick or hi-hat, to slide around during play.
Drum rugs at Sweetwater range from lengths of roughly four feet to nearly seven, and are available in rectangular and circular shapes. If you intend to grow your drum set, you can plan ahead with a larger drum mat or stage rug now and grow into the extra space. However, if you feel comfortable with your current kit, a rug closer to the size of your rig will help keep your stage cleaner without the excess.
Should a Drum Carpet Match the Look of Your Kit?
Once you’ve decided on the size of your drum rug, the next consideration is aesthetics. If you are looking to maintain a more reserved image onstage, you can find relatively simple designs with a black base and assorted logos throughout. In addition to a classic look, black drum rugs and carpets make it easy to add sponsors, band logos, and graphics in the future. Your other option is to choose a drum rug or drum carpet with a pre-made finish featuring a variety of textures. It all depends on what you’re trying to achieve with your band and your self-image as a drummer.
Regardless of the look you go for, you can rest assured that our drum rugs will help keep your drum kit and stands grounded. You can focus on your performance without constantly readjusting hardware, and both you and your audience can concentrate on what’s most important: your groove.
