HoverDeck HD-64gig
Stages and
traditional drum risers sympathetically vibrate (resonate) with the drums
and/or PA system. These resonances feed back to the drums and are then
picked up by the mics. The Auralex HoverDeck is specifically engineered
to reduce coloration from floor resonance by decoupling the drum kit from
the structure, resulting in a tighter, more pure sound for both studio
and live situations.
In addition,
HoverDeck’s rugged MDF laminate core and ISO-Puck modular riser
configuration significantly reduces the troublesome sound transmission
characteristics associated with drums.
"It's
like a giant suspension mount for your entire
drumset … if you wish to hear the pure
unadulterated sound of your drums,
then you need to check out the HoverDeck."
-Modern Drummer
The HoverDeck
is available in two models; the HD-64Gig, designed for typical
four and five-piece drum kits, and the HD-88Concert,
configured for larger drum kits and touring applications. Both configurations
utilize a set of low-profile isolating boards that assemble quickly via
strategically placed hook and loop fasteners. Either model is offered
with an optional rugged road case. For additional
configuration possibilities, add the HD-s satellite
boards or HD-22’s to support extra
drums or cymbal set-ups.
The Auralex
HoverDeck HD-64Gig Kit contains 6 HD-22 platforms (23-3/4" x 23-3/4"
x 1") and 1 HD-tc platform (23-3/4" x 31-3/4" x 1").

Reviews:
"If
you frequently play on stages - or in studios - where the floor has a
bit too much 'sympathy' for your drums, or if your practice space booms
like a cheap jukebox whenever you stomp on your kick, or if you're just
a purist who wishes to hear the unadulterated sound of your drums, then
you should check out the HoverDeck."
