How to keep the pedals from sliding?

[Mr_-G-]

I like the idea of surrounding the pedals with the trim!

I saw Maceo Parker a few years ago at a college. Keyboard player's pedal was sliding around and he had to grab it and readjust mid gig. I thought, hey, he's just like me! And I also realized how distracting that looks.

But yeah, a mat with velcro works well. Not something I usually end up carrying around because I'm doing mostly bar gigs and no one cares, but for gigs where someone is paying attention it's helpful.

In case of a Roland DP10 I just fix its rubber mat with a strip of gaffa tape on whatever stage floor there is. It is visible at the bottom of the attached foto.
As for sustain switches like the common Yamaha I have a different trick which I can only explain in a video, I may add it later.

Cheers from MeinSchiff 3 somewhere on the Atlanic.

The DP-10 are the only ones which don’t slide when I use them, but also fixing them with some Gaffa tape is a good idea.

Other question: which holder do you use for the mixer below the 18950 and how did you fix them at the stand?

[Tasten-Bert]

It is a balcony-flower-pot-holder from obi or any other DIY-shop, cut a bit in its width and mounted with long screws in self-drilled holes. Some foam stickers at its inside help fixing the mixer properly.

Cheers and good luck whatever happens tonight.
