How I Built My Drum Riser with Sylomer Foam plus E-Kit DIY

[@opieangst]

I love this. After 4 years+, this has helped ALOT!!! Thank you. edit: ahh shit, I peeped the 2 *TWO* Roland Noise eaters, that's like $300 right there 😭😭 dafuq man

[@miguelangelodias5080]

Legend tells he’s still placing muffling material under his drum kit to this day. Thanks for the tips!

Only submarine sonars can hear his double pedal.

[@ІгунінДмитро]

Respect to results, and the Black Cat, of course! I'll try some things of that, I'll share the video, of course.

Nice Dyna Sync Tama Pedals. I have them as well as AXIS Long boards. I like your ideas.

I'm curious about placing Sylomers on the puzzle mat. From what I understand, the force on them has to be in a specific window for them to work. If you put them on another compliant material, the effective force on the sylomer will reduce and they might not function they way they are intended to.

Dang! Good job man

[@mattgarstkasfan8602]

Thank you for sharing this idea!

[@edrumsense]

Du you have any idea how much does it isolates the vibration? I am a heavy hitter and I am very worried that If I do this investment it is not going to work

[@SpitefulAZ]

what if you use the riser but no noise eaters?

[@edrums_qc9086]

Thanks for this awesome video, where did you get the sylomer foam ?

[@richardyost6797]

Hello how close do you have to be with the weight and the sylomer? What if I gained 10 pounds or add some more drums..... I have built a riser using wheelbarrow iner tubes and it work great for stopping high 90% of the vibrations but they keep getting air leaks and I have to keep buying new ones. So your / vdrums looks better .no flat tires on my drums lol

[@Klinsi]

I wonder what book is in that video on your music stand? 😁

These noise eaters cost more than all the other parts of of the platform! :D Pretty amazing sandwich you finally got. Do you think all of these top layers make sense? I know they won't hurt, but would the vibration be significantly more if you remove one puzzle-pad & MDF from the top of you construction?

[@Ben_Cheng]

From an acoustics point of view, the main metric we are hoping to achieve with whatever resilient isolating material is its static deflection. This simply means how much it compresses with all the dead load above it. The greater the static deflection (usually measured in mm), the lower the system's resonant frequency, i.e. the better the system is at attenuating frequencies above it. One thing that is hard to achieve in a drum set up (like in every other vibration causing system) is the attenuation of the low frequency thuds. So the short answer to your question is, the heavier the dead load above, the better. If you could use thicker boards / compressed concrete boards as your base, it'll generally be better. Just need to make sure your foam or resilient layer is not fully compressed under that load, otherwise you might want to consider using a thicker foam or resilient layer.

Nice

[@Michael127gerard]

Thank you, Cool video. Are the noise eaters any good by themselves ?

[@campbeja001]

Where can you buy puzzle foam and kb boards?

[@DmytroFranchuk]

i see cat - i press like also thanks for the vid, it’s useful

[@Kleepified]

I'm curious if the puzzle foam mat under the sylomer is necessary, or if it might even be hurting the noise dampening properties? Have you done a comparison with/without it?

[@langzhaomusic]

Jesse E hey! Good point I actually took them out after rethinking about it awhile ago. However at least for this weight it’s not too much of a difference.

[@GarryLider]

Man, you care about your neighbourhoods more than about yourself.

[@qrxwtk8502]

Do you not have problems with the quiet tone cymbals being too loud?

[@LordSnoodles]

This seems like 6x overkill and a money-is-no-object approach.

[@langzhaomusic]

You are welcome.

[@Main936]

It’s not a bad video, but I wonder why people want to make videos influenced by the VDrum one, if not for the views. VDrum killed it and this videos adds nothing.

[@langzhaomusic]

This is definitely not about views. I am not a KZbinr. It’s a fun process, I enjoyed making it, so I documented my process and shared couple of my own takes on it.And of course Vdrums killed it for sure and I credited his video too.

[@365expressions5]

@Ben for what it's worth i haven't seen the vdrum one, only this one. so this is the most valuable video to me at the moment !

[@MrzZebicho]

@@langzhaomusic Hi Lang! Liked your video very much. But now I got curious, can you share the URL to that Vdrums video you are talking about? Best regards.

Vdrums video is a lot more complex, requiring all the extra measurement and countersinking to attach the boards, as well as carpeting, etc. This would be better, minus a few things like the noise eaters, to first see if the damn thing works.
