I finally went with the TD-4 because my main purpose was to trigger VSTi drums through midi, and I wouldn’t be playing out. Also, I don’t have a lot of room. I may regret my choice later, but right now I think it was the right one for me.

I have discovered the spikes you are talking about. They help a lot, but I think the main problem was just that my feet weren’t used to operating pedals.

My wife was with me and kept nudging me toward the 9. When the salesman at GC finally asked which one I wanted, I made up my mind and picked the 9.

My unpack and build was remarkably similar to yours. A lot like (a grown up’s) Christmas!

My DW4000 pedal, the KD8 and FD8 all have ‘spikes’ to secure them to the carpet. I just kept extending them while/after playing until everything stayed in place.

I have been playing (around) on guitar and mandolin (electric) before getting the drum kit.

I agree that drumming is a lot harder than it looks. But, I’m ready and committed to the experience.

Nice Blog site!
