I'm sick of my left bass pedal sliding when I'm trying to play. The pedals have Velcro on the bottom, but it doesn't stick to my carpet. My plan is to get a big square of Velcro and attach it to my hi-hat stand like I've shown with a piece of paper in the picture below. So I need a big piece of velcro like 6"x6" The only ones I can find online are strips 2" wide max.

You should be able to find the velvro at any art's & crafts store or in the A&C section of a department store. You should just be able to get away with using the hook side of the velvro on your carpet. It will definitely help keep them from sliding. The only real down side to it is that it make it a PITA for small adjustments if you need them, so make sure you get them in a nice, comfy position. Good Luck.

I think I've seen the big industrial size pieces at Home Depot, but not positive.
. There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

I can't just put the loop side on my carpet because my bass drum isn't in the exact same spot every time, and when I practice at my band mates house or play a show it wouldn't be there, unless I put it on my drumming rug, which I can't use at home because it collects dog hair too much, and I don't have space, my computer chair is literally right behind my drums.
The only thing that is ALWAYS concrete is my hi-hat is next to my pedal, so my plan seems like the only logical plan.

Thanks but that is more expensive than I was hoping for AND you have to buy a minimum of 3 yards per order. So it would be $22.50, which is almost all of my money that I'm trying to save up for new headphones

Looked on their website, nothing bigger than 2" wide.
Well I guess 2" wide could work if I just put it on the bottom, and I just asked my sister and she has some already, so thanks anyways
