Drum Risers – Elevate Your Performance with StageSync
In any live performance or concert, sound clarity, visibility, and stage organisation are key elements for success. For drummers, being seen and heard clearly is just as important as the rest of the band. That’s where drum risers come in. StageSync offers high-quality drum riser hire across Australia to ensure drummers are perfectly positioned for maximum impact—both visually and acoustically.
What Are Drum Risers?
A drum riser is a raised platform designed to elevate the drum kit and its player above the main stage level. This elevation helps achieve better sound projection, improves stage aesthetics, and ensures the drummer is clearly visible to the audience. Especially in larger venues or outdoor settings, drum risers are essential for creating a professional stage setup that enhances the overall performance.
StageSync provides drum risers in various sizes and heights, tailored to suit different stage configurations and performance requirements. Whether you're planning a small indoor gig, a large-scale music festival, or a theatrical production, their risers offer both flexibility and strength.
Modular and Customisable Designs
StageSync’s drum risers are built using modular stage platforms. These platforms are lightweight, easy to assemble, and customisable in size and height. Standard dimensions typically range from 2x2 metres to 2x3 metres, but larger or multi-level configurations can be arranged depending on the drummer’s kit and the stage layout.
Height options usually vary from 300mm to 600mm or more, and the risers come with non-slip surfaces, secure locking mechanisms, and reinforced frames to handle the weight of a full drum kit and heavy percussion gear. Adjustable legs ensure stability on uneven surfaces, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Safety and Functionality
StageSync prioritises safety in every component of their equipment. All drum risers are load-rated and compliant with Australian safety standards. Optional add-ons such as safety rails and skirting are available to maintain a clean and safe stage environment. The platforms are engineered to minimise vibration transfer, which helps in maintaining better mic control and cleaner sound during live performances.
For stage crews and production managers, StageSync’s drum risers are quick to install and dismantle, streamlining event setup times without compromising quality or safety.
Visual and Acoustic Benefits
Placing the drummer on a riser not only gives them better visibility, but also improves the spatial arrangement of instruments and monitors. This helps the front-of-house engineer achieve balanced sound levels. It also allows for more creative lighting and camera angles during live shows, recordings, or broadcasts.
Visually, drum risers create a layered look to the band’s stage presence, which enhances the audience’s experience and gives the event a polished, professional feel.
Ideal for Any Event
Whether you’re organising a rock concert, jazz night, marching band performance, or church service, StageSync’s drum risers are suitable for any genre or venue. From touring productions to one-night-only gigs, they ensure your drummer is elevated—both literally and figuratively.
