RugLocks Mat Markers are a simple, ingenious solution to one of the most persistent frustrations in drumming — a kit that creeps across the floor during a performance. Drum rugs move. Hardware feet slide. Bass drum pedals drift. RugLocks are small, discreet anchor markers that lock your drum rug in place and mark the exact position of every piece of hardware on it, so your kit stays exactly where you set it up — every time.

Available in three pack sizes to suit every setup, from a single-stand solution to a full touring rig.

RugLocks Pack Options

  • Accessory Pack — 3 pieces — ideal for adding a few anchor points to an existing setup, or for securing a single piece of hardware such as a hi-hat stand or bass drum pedal. A practical entry point for drummers who want to try RugLocks without committing to a full kit solution
  • Essential Pack — 6 pieces — enough markers to anchor the key pieces of hardware in a standard 5-piece kit setup, covering bass drum, hi-hat, snare stand and cymbal stands. The most popular choice for gigging drummers who want a reliable, repeatable setup
  • Performance Pack — 16 pieces — a comprehensive set for drummers with larger kits, multiple cymbal stands or who want to mark every piece of hardware precisely. Ideal for touring drummers, session players and anyone who needs to replicate their exact setup quickly and consistently at every venue

About RugLocks

RugLocks was created to solve a problem that every gigging drummer knows well — the drum rug that moves during a performance. No matter how heavy the rug or how grippy the floor, the combination of bass drum recoil, hi-hat foot pressure and the general vibration of a live performance tends to cause hardware to drift over the course of a set. By the end of a long gig, the kit can be in a noticeably different position to where it started — affecting playing comfort, reach and consistency.

The traditional solution is to tape the rug to the floor, which is messy, leaves residue and isn't always permitted at venues. RugLocks offer a cleaner, more professional alternative — small anchor markers that grip the rug from underneath and mark the exact position of each piece of hardware on top, keeping everything locked in place without any adhesive or permanent modification to the floor or rug.

For touring and session drummers, the position-marking function is equally valuable. Being able to set up your kit in exactly the same configuration at every venue — with every stand and pedal in precisely the right position — removes one variable from the performance equation and allows you to focus on playing rather than adjusting your setup. The Performance Pack's 16 markers provide enough coverage for even the most complex touring rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

RugLocks are small anchor markers that lock your drum rug in place and mark the exact position of every piece of hardware on it. They grip the rug from underneath to prevent it sliding during performance, while the markers on top show exactly where each stand and pedal should be positioned. This keeps your kit in exactly the same place throughout a performance and allows you to replicate your setup precisely at every venue.
The Accessory Pack (3 pieces) is ideal for adding a few anchor points or securing a single piece of hardware. The Essential Pack (6 pieces) covers the key hardware in a standard 5-piece kit setup. The Performance Pack (16 pieces) is for larger kits, multiple cymbal stands or drummers who want to mark every piece of hardware precisely. Most gigging drummers find the Essential Pack sufficient for a standard setup.
RugLocks are designed to be used without adhesive or permanent modification to the floor or rug. They grip the rug mechanically rather than with glue, making them a clean, professional alternative to taping the rug to the floor. They can be repositioned and reused as needed.
