The Problem
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 FOH.
The Solution
No longer will hollow stages resonate with a muddy rumble, or will concrete floors suck the tone out of your kick drum and floor tom. In the studio, on stage or in the practice room, HoverDeck’s rugged MDF laminate core & web-like ISO-Puck modular risers minimize structure-borne sound transmission and sympathetic vibrations between drums and hardware. Your drums can finally have rumble-free purity of tone like you’ve never heard before.
HoverDeck = Options
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.

Customer Quotes
"I did two different drum-tracking sessions for a recent record with NC band Roman Candle (Outlook/Hollywood Records). The same studio (Overdub Lane, in Durham, NC) and the same drum kit and drummer, the only difference being the arrival of the Hoverdeck Isolation Riser for the second group of sessions. It was especially a pleasure to hear the kick drum and floor tom come more into focus, as if we'd found a hidden "tone knob" on the kit. It made mics seem more accurate, the playing seem more articulate, and it made us happy! We were tracking a live-in-the-studio version of Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made to Love Her," Roman Candle-style, and the added buoyancy seemed to communicate to all the instruments, down the line." Chris Stamey - Producer/Engineer (Michael Stipe, Whiskeytown)
"Using the Hoverdeck Isolation Riser has made my job as a mobile recording engineer a lot easier. It's portable enough to fit in a station wagon, and it is incredibly easy to set up. Being mobile, my drum "room" changes on a daily basis..so any advantage is helpful. I got like 0 vibration on the floor in the adjoining control room. With Hoverdeck, I get great drum sounds FAST, no matter what the room or floor surface happen to be. The bass drum especially was SO much cleaner and easier to mix. With great initial sounds, my mixes come together quicker with less tweaking. As an added bonus, the finish is sleek and looks fantastic...great for impressing the clients." Brian Anthony - Studio Owner/Engineer.
