how to make a drum set platform?
josh_barnes10 asked:
We need ideas to make a higher stage for our drum set. like how high should we build it up, how big, what size of wood would be suitable for the legs, and could we make the top out of plywood. If you know any of these that be rad if you’d answer. Thanks

1/2 inch plywood will work
2by 6 ’s on the sides and anothe down the middle
2by 8′ if you want it higher…. it will be quite heavy DoctorSchultz
The risers I’ve played on varied in size, but about 5′X5′ works well. Assemble with 2 1/2″ drywall screws using 2′X8′ lumber for the outside frame and every 16″ inside (like building a stud wall) and cover with 3/4 plywood and then a short nap carpet. The carpet keeps drums & stands from sliding around. Cut hand holds, 2 per side, in the 2×8 outer frame and paint the outer frame flat black. As an option, you may want to drill a couple of extra holes on each side of the frame to allow monitor, mic. and electrical cords to pass through, but you can always modify later to suit your needs. It’ll take a guy on each corner to move this thing, but it’s strong and stable and won’t rattle. Sound guys and musicians hate things on stage that rattle. edkerns1
