Epic post. Will be building one of these very soon, thanks to this DIY.
Awesome!
Awesome!
Very cool thinking there Tard I was thinking of doing something similar with combining flight case & riser functions.
Great piece of work!!!!!!!
Only just joined this particular forum so only just read this post. This drum rise you built for your son is absolute genius. Clever, cost effective, portable and light....brilliant. I'm from the UK which as you're probably all aware likes to charge everyone as much as possible for everything. Unfortunately our DIY stores don't sell these buckets and to get them on line would cost around £125 ($197) including shipping. Whilst this still makes for a very cost effective drum riser $200 for plastic buckets is just stupid! Thanks England!! I'll probably make one anyway and wince when I pay for the buckets, still way better than £1000 for a purpose built one. Anyway your riser is brilliant well done.
This is such a cool idea. My question/concern is - how difficult is it to unsnap the buckets from the lids after the show? Mos of the buck/lids I've used (paint, pickles, etc) seem to need the lid pried off, of do the lids really just snap off?
Thanks!

Guy up above with the Peavey Radial kit did just that. Those big road cases are not an option either these days for me.
3rd pic shows and explains the lids were affixed to the underside of the riser.Cool idea, I’m having a hard time understanding how the buckets attach to the wood? Any pictures showing that assembly?
I was just going to use screws/bolts through the top
