Thanks for this video! I am working on replicating this. Just moved to an apartment and building a living room corner studio using this method. Plan to shoot a video on my process with incorporating this as a drum riser.
Question What do you think about just use the DIY noise eaters you've made (big enough for the HH leg to feet inside) and for the V-drums just putting washing machine absorber for each leg It can really cut the hussle and money...
You could try that first. Even with everything I did, I still feel like I can’t play at full volume. But let me know if that works! It would save a lot of money and hustle indeed
Hi mate! Another guy using the Roland KD-7 kick pad. I recently got 2 of them to replace my ATV 13" mesh head trampolin... hmm... I am not quite sure if this already perfect or if I should try some hacks with the ATV pad. Since I was using DIY kick pedal triggers I am thinking of replacing the mesh head with a real drum head and dampen it from the inside. Or intead of the two sides plastic/felt beaters use the tennisball beaters with the KD7. I got here because the ATV pad was way more quiet than the KD-7. If I will stay with them, I will just place some EVA pads below them... Thanks for the input!
I haven’t really experimented with any other kit so it’s above my pay grade 😅. What’s actually causing most vibration in my case is the hi-hat pedal. Any suggestions for that?
Thank you! No issues at all, I practice in my apartment about 2-3 hours/day. I must say that I play heel down and at reasonable hours. I honestly don't know if that would be different if I played Heavy Metal 😅, but it definitely passes the test to get decent regular practice.
I haven’t had any complaints from my neighbors downstairs, although I haven’t actually asked them if they can hear me. On another note, I’ve been playing heel down, particularly during quiet hours, to reduce the stomping.
Thanks for the video!! I think I'm in about almost $450 (CDN). Went 4x6 for the ply wood and made it work. Used the other 2 feet of board for the noise eater's. Tennis ball beaters are few stops away :D (every little bit helps), I think I'm finally gonna be able to play and not shake the roof below.
Thanks so much for sharing! Didn't think I would consider something like this, but you made it a real easy DIY project. I think you said all together it reduces vibration by like 90%, what % do you think it would reduce if I only did the main riser *without* the individual foot pedal ones?
Hi, I didn't really used any measuring tools, it's just based off my estimation and other videos I saw. I am sure there are other factors that play in, like how thick the walls in the apartment are. The pedal risers add a lot to it, but also the tennis ball beater. Another factor is: Do you play heel up or heel down? I think every case varies. It comes down to asking your neighbor how much improvement they hear.
I hae been playing edrums for a while now and recently my neighbours have started complaining. I was wondering if It would help to put individual eva pads only under the legs of the drum kit instead of building a whole platform. What do you think?
I want to build a platform for edrums. Through the ground floor and the pounding noises were walking up to the second floor. I have laminate on the floor. What material do you recommend I put between the mdf boards and the floor?
I don't know if this is the best method, but I put Shock absorbent Gym Foam Tiles, then I used the EVA pads (it can be something else like tennis balls or pool noodles). So far, I haven't had any complaints, so I know it's working :).
Did the price of the eva foam go up? In the link you posted in the description it's saying that they are 14.99 each. And so buying 28 ends up being 419$ Is there something you did differently perhaps?
Oh wow! I just checked the link and the price did go up indeed! I am shocked on how much it went up, I don't know what happened there... Amazon has them for $5 each. I also found this provider, although I am not familiar with their service: www.supplyhouse.com/DiversiTech-MP-4E-E-V-A-Anti-Vibration-Pad-4-x-4-x-7-8?Shopping_Neutral_New_users&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAm4WsBhCiARIsAEJIEzWOzIhJCKWOr31U84GcAzilw2BIiMV6B9jRy2yqRo_Kn90PYojO1x8aApkPEALw_wcB
0 complaints so far :), although I have to say that I play heel down and at reasonable hours. I would need to personally ask them if they can hear me. I will let you know if I do
I appreciate this video so much man

This is soooo useful thanks man!
Glad it helped!

thanks for the easy to follow video. have you had any noise issues with the neighbors since building this?

How are the results? Did the EVA pads actually reduce the noise going through the floor?

so did you have to build a riser AND a noise eater?
The Riser is not 100% effective, so everything extra helps :)
@@drumnationtv7066 oh noes 😭
Audio/neighbor update?
0 complaints so far :), although I have to say that I play heel down and at reasonable hours. I would need to personally ask them if they can hear me. I will let you know if I do
@@drumnationtv7066 I'm curious, keep me updated if it's possible!
@@drumnationtv7066 Hey was wondering if you managed to chat to your neighbour and ask if they are able to hear the kicks or other noise from the drum?
