- Welcome to our comprehensive step-by-step guide on building a professional-grade drum riser! In this tutorial, we will walk you through the entire process, ensuring optimal shock absorption and sound isolation for an enhanced drumming experience.
-
First, we'll begin by laying down shock-absorption gym tiles, which provide a sturdy foundation for the riser. These tiles are designed to absorb impact and minimize vibrations, creating a solid base for your drum set.
-
Next, we'll carefully place EVA pads strategically on top of the gym tiles. These pads act as an additional layer of shock absorption and provide extra stability for your drums.
-
After securing the EVA pads, we'll proceed to position the wood planks, creating a sturdy platform for your drum set. These planks are essential for distributing weight evenly and ensuring a stable surface.
-
To further enhance shock absorption, we'll add another layer of shock-absorbent gym tiles on top of the wood planks. This additional layer helps reduce vibrations and unwanted noise transmission, allowing you to focus on your drumming.
-
For the pedal isolation pads, we have an innovative solution. By cutting tennis balls in half and securely gluing them to 1/8" wooden boards, we create effective pedal isolation pads. These pads effectively absorb pedal vibrations and prevent them from transferring to the riser, resulting in improved sound isolation.
-
To complete the pedal isolation setup, we'll stick and cut self-adhesive carpet tiles onto the pedal isolation pads. These carpet tiles provide extra grip for the pedals and further isolate any residual vibrations.
-
By following this step-by-step guide, you'll be able to construct a professional-grade drum riser with optimal shock absorption and sound isolation, creating the perfect environment for your drumming sessions. Get ready to elevate your drumming experience to new heights!

This is soooo useful thanks man!
Glad it helped!
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.
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?
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 :).
How are the results? Did the EVA pads actually reduce the noise going through the floor?
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.
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:
