Drum Kit Isolation Kit PRO - Drum Platform - 1.8m by 2.4m Footprint

Recording studios and rehearsal rooms — complete drum kit isolation platform.
The PRO kit provides everything required to build a finished drum isolation platform in a single purchase. The foam risers decouple the platform from the floor structure, reducing the impact vibration and low-frequency noise transmitted to adjacent rooms and floors below during performance and recording. The SilentBoard surface layer provides additional sound attenuation within the platform build-up. Suited to recording studios, home studios, rehearsal rooms, and live rooms where drum isolation is required. 

Complete platform vs. pad-only kit.
The PRO kit provides boards, adhesives, and risers in a single purchase — no additional materials are required beyond carpet. Where the platform board is already available or a custom board specification is preferred, the standard Drum Kit Isolation Pad Kit (risers only) is the appropriate specification.

Complete kit — risers, SilentBoard, and adhesives included.
The PRO kit contains all the components required to build a finished drum isolation platform. The foam risers, SilentBoard panels, contact adhesive, and PU adhesive are all supplied, eliminating the need to source materials separately. The 68mm total platform height (50mm riser + 18mm SilentBoard) is the finished platform height before carpet.

SilentBoard platform surface — vibration-dampening composite board.
The SilentBoard panels provide additional sound attenuation within the platform build-up, improving isolation performance over a standard plywood or MDF platform surface. The 18mm thickness provides a rigid, stable platform surface for the drum kit.

250N high load-bearing foam risers.
The 50mm foam risers are rated at 250N hardness, providing a firm, load-bearing base capable of supporting the full weight of a drum kit and drummer without fully compressing. A fully compressed riser provides no isolation benefit; the 250N hardness ensures the foam remains in the compliant zone under typical drum kit loads.

Position the 10 foam isolation risers on the floor in a grid pattern across the intended platform area, spacing them evenly to provide consistent support across the full 1.8m × 2.4m platform footprint.

Apply the supplied Contact Adhesive to the top face of each riser and the underside of the SilentBoard panels at the corresponding contact points. Allow the adhesive to become touch-dry before bringing the surfaces together — contact adhesive bonds on contact, so position the boards carefully before pressing them down onto the risers. Apply the supplied PU Adhesive to the joins between adjacent SilentBoard panels to bond the platform surface together. The risers sit on the floor without adhesive to the floor surface; only the riser-to-board joint is bonded. The adhesive is solvent-based — ensure adequate ventilation throughout installation.

Top the finished platform with carpet to protect the SilentBoard surface and prevent the drum kit from sliding — carpet is not supplied.

What is the difference between the PRO kit and the standard Drum Kit Isolation Pad Kit?

The standard kit supplies foam isolation risers only — you source and cut a platform board (25mm plywood or MDF) locally. The PRO kit includes the foam risers, SilentBoard platform panels, contact adhesive, and PU adhesive in a single purchase — everything needed to build a finished platform except carpet. The SilentBoard surface also delivers better isolation performance than standard plywood or MDF, as the composite construction adds an additional layer of vibration damping within the platform build-up. If sourcing board locally is straightforward and cost is the priority, the standard kit is sufficient. If you want everything supplied and the best isolation performance from the platform, the PRO is the appropriate choice.

Why does the PRO kit use SilentBoard instead of standard plywood or MDF?

SilentBoard is a vibration-dampening composite board rather than a structural timber panel. Where plywood and MDF transmit vibration readily through their rigid structure, SilentBoard is manufactured to attenuate vibration within the board itself — providing an additional isolation stage between the foam risers below and the drum kit above. The result is a platform that performs better than a riser-and-plywood assembly of equivalent dimensions, without any increase in platform height or footprint.

Does the carpet on top need to be a specific type?

No specific carpet type is required. The carpet serves two purposes: protecting the SilentBoard surface from damage and preventing the drum kit hardware from sliding during play. Any standard carpet or carpet tile is suitable. Avoid very thin or hard-backed carpet on the drum kit contact points — a modest pile provides better grip for hardware feet and reduces the risk of movement during a session.

Can the platform be dismantled and moved to a new location?

The platform is designed as a semi-permanent installation. The SilentBoard panels are bonded to the foam risers using contact adhesive — this bond is strong and not intended to be reversed cleanly. The risers are not bonded to the floor, so the entire assembled platform can be moved as a unit if required, albeit done with care. For a fully demountable installation that needs to be taken apart regularly, the standard kit with a single large board is easier to handle, as the board can be lifted off the risers without tools.
