Greetings all
My name is Brian Jackson. I was a member here years ago but just recently re-registered after purchasing a new e-kit. Thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself, and also share something useful with the community. Like many here, I live above neighbors that would rather not suffer through my late-night practicing, with impact noise of the kick pedals being the biggest offender. I've seen the "tennis ball riser" and felt that it lacked being the total solution I needed, so I put my engineering skills to work. I'm attempting to attach 2 files to this post, the design drawings (PDF) and the accompanying illustrated builder's guide (doc). They're free to distribute to anyone interested. It's a 100% effective impact isolating platform that can be built for under $100 from readily available materials without any specialized tools. The prototype has proven rock solid, reliable, and completely inaudible to the neighbors. Since we share with and learn from each other here, I thought I'd add my contribution. Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know some of you here.
Respectfully,
Brian Jackson
