MEINL Drum Rug 5.25'x6.5' Oriental

Live concerts

I love the aesthetics of this rug easy to use after you get the memory out from being rolled up,I guess the only complaint that I would have is that it has a velcro strap on one side that keeps the rug tight rolled when it's packaged and the strap is hard to hide once it's in use!!! Otherwise five stars

2nd one I've bought. Bought one years ago for my sons drum set. Had to get one for mine.

I have the oriental style. I saw some reviews that said don't get it wet. "How bad could it be?" I said. The answer is pretty bad. I did a gig last weekend and the back end of the rug got exposed to water. Check out the photo. Not only did the color run, but it created a hideous blue mess. My hands were totally covered in blue ink after packing it up. And it was dripping blue mess everywhere. I'm sure someone looked at the stage area the next day and said "what the heck happened here?" Fortunately I had a tarp to wrap it in keep it from ruining my vehicle's interior on the drive home! The other issue is the velcro strap. If you look closely at the photo you'll see that the hook and loop are on opposite sides when the rug is rolled up. That means you can't latch the velcro strap. I don't know if this poor quality control or poor design, but either way, it stinks. If you're going to have a velcro strap, it should latch. The rug itself looked good until it got wet. Now it looks like a mess. It's plenty big, which is what I wanted. But it isn't practical to have a drum rug that the colors run and leaves behind a mess. As much as I wanted a rug of this size and with this look, I can't recommend the Meinl. One star.

You can never go wrong when buying any meinl product! I love it.

Rug was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. Stays securely positioned on our concrete floor and is much better than the beach towel we used before. The family drummer also loves the graphics on the rug!! Overall, it has been an A+++ Addition to our drummers kit.
