Kick Pedal Stopper

Drummers who play on a single kick drum, along with a double pedal can have some flawed problems with your slave pedal attachment. It can move out of place or it can slide away from you, which can become an issue especially if you're playing a gig. Some of the issues I have, since I play a specific type of genre that requires fast double pedaling, my left slave pedal seems to drift farther away from me within minutes. It's often a hassle when I have to stop and reposition my slave pedal in the same spot, only for it to do the same thing over and over again with every song I play.

With a simple attachment that can be placed underneath the front end of your slave pedal, whether you're playing a left or right-handed kit, it can keep your slave pedal from going anywhere. It saves a lot of fatigue when your feet are misplaced and very uncomfortable to play your kick drum. Several different attachments can be placed underneath your pedal depending on which surface type you decide to place your kit such as carpet, hardwood, tile, concrete, etc. A simple design made of rubber or a flexible plastic material that would have the most custom feel to mold around your pedal for a more comfortable less bulky look.

With a rubber stopper or something to hold it in place, you should be set to go. These items are inexpensive and can be manufactured easily.
