How can you prevent the drums from warping?

[Futs69]

This is my 2nd set of drums and they are just barely starting to bubble in the middle and I was wondering if there was a way to prevent it or reverse the warping?

Oh **** bro, I have that same problem but here's my story.

Because the red was used alot, it started to warp, so what I did was expand it all until it was flat, pushing in the bubble in the drum, and then I quickly taped the areas that were sticking out, since then, I haven't had problems.

For a solution that doesn't show physically like tape....I used glue under the drum once, but that lased for a few days and it warped again, so use the tape method.

had the same problem. i actually removed the pads from the set and peeled the rubber off of the foam backing. part of the reason it warps in the first place is it is originally glued only on 3 rings. the rest is just little feet designed to quite the pads as compared to the RB1 set.
once i had the rubber peeled away from the foam i used a 3M heavy duty contact spray. the red pad did ok that way for about a week. the rest have yet to peel. which is funny because its the yellow pad that gets used most often in most songs.

The solution is so very simple......STOP playing so hard. You absolutely do not have to WHACK the F out of the drums to play! I've had my set since day 1, and they still look pretty nice. And same goes for the MANIACS that break their footpedals! Remember, you are using a plastic TOY!!! Your pounding/stomping does not: give you a better score(prob. less w/dub hits), make you manlier, or impress anyone. Take it easy and you'll have more fun and less soreness the next day. It's kinda like driving your compact car offroad and then complaining it is falling apart later.
