  Make sure your carpet is massive enough to match your whole kit, which includes your throne. The weight of your body on the throne will aid keep the bass drum from sliding away with the entire carpet.
  
  Adjust the bass drum legs so that the front of the drum is an inch or two off the ground and the drum is resting at a slight angle. This shifts far more of the drums weight onto the legs themselves and assists the spikes dig in a lot more effectively, which must put an finish to most bass drum creep difficulties.
  
  Occasionally, specially for those of us kicking the drum fairly hard in loud circumstances, setting up on a carpet is just not sufficient!

I also like to put a layer or two of gaffers tape more than the finish of the bolt so that it does not scratch up any nice wooden floors that come about to be underneath the carpet.
  
  Now when you set up just slide the front of the bass drum appropriate up against the piece of wood you have bolted to the carpet, and it will not slide any further!
  
  It operates ideal if you get the wood wide sufficient that the legs themselves really bump up against the wood block although it will function fine with the rim of the drum against the wood block - just be certain to cover the wood with foam or thick fabric to prevent the wood from damaging the rim and lugs of your drum!
