Some people complained that this rug smells really bad. I guess i was lucky because when i got mine, it had absolute no smell whatsoever.
Before this rug i had some cheap basic rug under my kit and with that i had huge trouble keeping everything in place, my bassdrum slipped away from me all the time, my throne slipped backwards, my slave pedal didn't stay put at all even with antislip mats.
This rug changed all that, it somehow locks everything in place so well that it has been an absolute pleasure setting up my kit the way i want it. However i still need an antislip mat for my slave pedal, but it has an slick aluminium bottom so i cant really blame the rug. With antislip pedal mat on top of the rug though it stays put really nicely.
The size of this rug is great, i suppose it would nicely fit an symmetrical double bassdrum setup with a rack and floor toms on both sides.
