On-Stage DMA6450 Non-Slip Drum Mat - 6 x 4 foot


Sells separately for $59.95





The On-Stage Stands DMA6450 helps keep your kit from sliding across a wood stage or concrete floor while you play. This lightweight and space-conscious drum mat is made from a soft PVC material ? which sort of resembles a yoga mat ? that grips floors while protecting surfaces from rocking stands and creeping bass drum spurs. This mat does a great job of staying flat once you perch your kit upon it, with corners that resist rolling up even straight out of storage. And thanks to its 6-foot x 4-foot footprint, you've got ample room for kitting up a standard 5-piece drum set and a couple cymbals. This mat is great for stationary drum setups in studios, basements, and gymnasiums. But what really sets the On-Stage DMA6450 apart is its portability. With the included tie straps and nylon/mesh carry bag, this mat takes up very little space in the back of a sedan and slings easily over a shoulder for carting to the stage. Drummers at Sweetwater consider the On-Stage Stands DMA6450 to be an essential for mobile drum setups. And when you consider its price compared to other drum rugs and bass drum anchors, it's pretty much a no-brainer.
