Roughly how much did the supplies cost?

reach out to me. i need someone to build a riser for a drumset. Give me a price.

Thanks so much just built mine! Hopefully it works 🤞

Is there anything you've thought of changing or improving since you posted this video? Have your neighbors still not made any complaints?

Hey, thanks for posting this DIY! :) I have 1 question please - how big are the holes for the tennis balls? I know it says 2", but that seems too big since the tennis balls are around 2,5" in diameter? Help please! I live in an apartment with thin, hollow walls😅😂😂

Awesome ! 🥁

Thank you. Carpet Padding just on the top? Or on booth sides??

I made it a point not to have neighbors closer than 200 ft, and that’s the closest one. I could literally play an acoustic kit full volume and they would not be able to hear it. Obviously nobody downstairs because I live in a house. No apartments for me ever again.

Looks awesome man! I'm going to be building one of my own as well. A Quick question. is it really important to have 2 layers of MDF board? and did you cut the tennis ball holes in both layers? thanks!

The layer with balls holes is on top isn't it? While the bottom layer won't have holes, will the balls slide even with cable ties? But the main question is, like others asking here but still no informative answer: "how much is it effective?"

Great job man! I really appreciate this video. Quick question, if I stuff it with insulation and put more insulation than you did, it probably would be better right? And also curious enough it's still working to this day? I live in a connected house and 2 minutes in to playing a silent kit. He freaked on me so looking to get an electronic kit and build this rise or so he has no complaint

Awesome video! I actually ended up here in an attempt to reduce the noise that comes from my digital piano keys. The vibration goes straight through the floor and upsets my neighbor 🤷🏼‍♂️ I noticed you have a digital piano right next to your drum platform do you have that issue with key vibrations as well??

What was the ballpark total $ for this project?

Very cool video!

Very well explained. Thank you very much, bro!

what a nice guy; if it was me, i would come to the neighbor downstairs and say: hey, ya wanna pay for half of this shit, 'cause if ya don, then guess what...

Hi, thanks for the video. Will this work without the rockwool? Our budget is tight! I've seen it built by others without the rockwool...

Thank you so much for this, you helped built my own riser that neighbors are happy with so far! Great ideas!

Where can I buy one?🥁

Anyone what to build mine! I’ll pay lol seriously

I gotta be honest here, why doesnt just a few layers of foam interlocking tiles work instead?

That is a sweet riser!

The only solution that worked for me was to hang the stage from the ceiling. No more complaints so far. Absolute success, especially considering that the neighbor downstairs is a psycho: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_Mm2dvl6Z8eq8 Cheers from Brazil!

QUESTION: Hello, thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. Do you think there's a big difference if I build my platform just big enough for the drum kit only and not for the chair as well? I'm limited by space in my appartment and so I will probably be able to make it big enough just for the drums. Thanks <3

5:50 "MDF is dense and heavy and I believe you need some weight to your platform to handle the vibration..." (slightly paraphrased). MDF manages vibration far better than plywood because unlike plywood MDF is soft and absorbant. That's why a primary use for it is in the building of speaker boxes, cabinets and stacks - the vibrations caused by the sound are canceled out so as not to complete with it. However, don't spill any fluids on it or it will be destroyed due to that very absorbency factor I mentioned

Pov: you’re here after u hear a complaint

Thanks for this video. Great explanation.

Great idea, but by the time you've bought all this it'd be cheaper to buy Roland NE-10 noise eaters.

Amazing video! Thanks!

Good video.

Isn't it too shaky in the end to comfortly play drums? Or it is not felled at all?

Four minutes turned into four weeks which in turn turned into four years. I will build a more or less identical drum riser to yours and that will hopefully be enough to stop my neighbour from being bothered by my playing. The house is more than one hundred and fifty years old though 😜

Hello bro, great video, do you buy your cymbals? or you made it?, can you make a video talking about it?

Thanks for sharing, i can relate will make one soon,

Do you do feel the rockwool insulation added anything to this ?

Great video, I’ve got the same problem with the kick pedal.... subscribed , good luck with the channel👍🏻🥁

That is really well done, Neat, thanks for sharing it!

Great! I use that as a template for my own raiser and I have already bought everything for it ;). 6:20 Did I understand correctly that the more balls are used, the worse the sound absorption becomes? Because I planned to put in more than 13 ... (more like 23)

Nice job! Did you glue the carpet pad down underneath the carpet?

How much did everything cost you?

Please clarify...Did you wrap utility carpet completely around the assembled riser? Top, bottom, and sides? And how and where did you purchase the utility carpet? Did you have it cut at the store or did you purchase pre-cut size(s)? And finally, is that a carpeted floor in the room to begin with or is that a hard floor (wood, vinyl, etc)? Thanks!

My neighbor is above me and they complained about the sound, to them it was a disturbing banging noise!!!!, great video, I will adopt the concept.

Or just tell them to get fkd 😆

So it's been nearly 4 years... Still going without a ccomplaint? Thinking of doing this.

Which cymbals are those? They look fancy...Pintech Visulite?

I weigh 300 lbs, lbs:) Will 13 be enough tennis balls, without them becoming too rigid or compressed? Excellent concept btw!

Great! I live on the 4th floor apartment and just ordered an electronic drum set (Alesis command mesh kit). My question is: Could just a platform under the kick pedal be enough? I've just practiced at a friend on a Alesis Turbo and realised that they don't make much sound the way I play them. Of course the Turbo has only a pedal, and the Command a bass kicker thus my question about isolating just that? And because of small weight I was thinking of some disks from a fitness foam mat, or other form of foam sandwiched between two boards. Would that work?

The throne that is better to step on the floor or on the platform;

How many tennis balls will I need for a 55 "* 48" (140cm - 120cm) mdf platform?

I didn't get which side goes up and which one down. Do you use the side with the holes as bottom?
