| DRUM RISER DESIGN,... any ideas??? Hi Everyone, We are interested in getting our studio drum kit up on a riser to facilitate visual contact with the control room, BUT we do not wish to end up with something that creates a big vibrating box, nor do we wish to chase a bunch of loose junk which WILL collect under an open platform. I have considered that properly designed, the riser could serve as a large bass trap,... anyone have any plans, ideas, concepts, or warnings? Thanks in advance for any input. Cheers, Jimmy |

| Don't have any pictures cuz the guy's wife got the studio but I built a nice riser using Auralex PlatFoam (basically foam 2x4s) spaced 12" apart under a sandwich of 2 layers of 5/8" plywood with 5/8" drywall in between and carpet on top. Just make sure the trim piece around the perimeter doesn't go quite all the way to the floor. All layers glued with construction adhesive then screwed together. (screws spaced every 6") Good luck!

  | If you have Sketchup installed, check out this design by gullfo. You can make a riser somewhat absorptive by not making it airtight, and installing insulation between joists. Preferably, the front and rear are open, with the insulation underneath, covered with cloth or carpet. It's not going to be a great bass trap (acoustically it's more like a gobo), but it will help some.

| not to help your bass trap idea... but to stop resonance... you could build it encased with plywood on both sides and fill it with sand... float in on some neoprene pads.. solid as a rock gl  |

| Recording Studio Design :: View topic - Drum riser: poor man's floating floor? *DONE! WITH PHOTO!* The pic with a beautiful white drum riser belongs to a guy who also hangs around in GS....  Read the posts especially by Eric Desart, he seems to know his stuff about mechanical decoupling, at least it sounds convincing to a noob like me  I am trying to built a drum riser floated on tennis balls but I realised the air escapes from them in as little time as a week
