The 9' x 9' Neil Peart Drum riser. I actually
build one for my Rush tribute project. Unfortunately due to the
size and weight to make it strong enough to handle the weight
and vibration of the drums, I did not make it rotate. Nevertheless
here it is.
The drum riser consists of 12" x 2"
floor beams, 3/4 inch plywood on top to handle the weight and
vibration and 1/2 inch plywood on the bottom for stability. The
riser is divided into 4 parts that interlock with each other
when joined and have guide bolts that also lock in place to ensure
stability and no separation.
Cosmetically it is covered with a black felt material
that is simply to make it look nice, and finished with black
paint and metal trim to enhance the edges. I also built in permanent
handles that you cannot see once assembled to help make it easier
to move each of the 4 individual sections. Once lifted, put it
on a wheel dolly and away you go.
