Hey guys, somthing thats been bugging me for a while now.... the wobbly kick drum!! Is there any way to simply make it more stable? Especially with mesh heads is got waaaaaay to much play its actually unacceptable!! I hope 2box is listening. You cant even cleanly play fast single stroke rolls on the kick with double pedal its really frustrating. Any thoughts or solutions? If not, then Ill have to cross over to the dark side ( cough cough... roland) for their incredible kick pad.
Have a look at this post if you like...:

Hi,
There are several posts about solution to wobbly kick drum in Drumit Hardware .
Here is one of them.

Generally speaking, there have been three approaches to this problem: 1) additional support from the top of the kick pad (with optional second horizontal bar near the kick pad) - without modifying the pad, 2) stand alone kick with self constructed spikes (or frame), which are bolted to kick pad (involves drilling and modifying the pad) and 3) stand alone kick which is fixed to standard three-leg cymbal or snare stand using additional supports.
I use the hybrid of 1) and 3).
