Has anyone got any experience of these? I am currently rocking a tennis ball riser, but it has some wobble to it. Smaller, stand alone risers might help with that.

In addition to the Noise Reduction tests illustrated in the video linked below, I personally witnessed real time listening and audio tests while visiting Roland Japan in November.
We have also tested the Noise Eater NE-1/ NE-10 products at Roland US in Los Angeles,
This video shows how effective Roland's Noise Eater items are when the V-Drums user use them under the KD-9 Kick Pad, FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal, and Hi-Hat s...
As the product description pages indicate, the NE-10 and NE-1 Noise Eater products are designed to reduce the noise and vibrations that are transferred through the floor which can be heard by someone on a lower floor of of house, apartment, school, office building, or other multi-floor structure.
The Global website of Roland Corporation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of electronic musical instruments, including keyboards and synthesizers, guitar products, electronic percussion, digital recording equipment, amplifiers, audio processors, and multimedia products.
Although this reduction of noise and vibrations could certainly of be measured by a db meter (comparing the db levels with and without the NE) the results could vary. Different types of material and differing thickness in the actual floor/ceiling, physical construction of the building, and other variables could display different decibel related values that are recorded from the position of the listener (under the ceiling, below the floor where the drums are being played).
In other words, a specific decibel value would not necessarily apply accurately to every situation.
I will say that during my experience with the product (while in multi story buildings both in Japan and Los Angeles) the results were very impressive. As I mentioned previously, I also witnessed real time audio tests that the video data is drawn from.
I agree that a video showing decibel values in a "typical" multi-floor environment might be helpful. Stay tuned.
Of course, as a conscientious testing-person, you'll provide db-figures from different listening-positions, taken with different types of material and differing thickness!
