The famous TENNIS BALL RISER. Does it actually work? Is it the real secret to playing drums in an apartment? This DIY build is a go-to solution for apartment drummers or anyone needing to soundproof their kit. But it seems like nobody’s really telling us how well these things work. We assume that they’re doing some good and that our money and efforts aren’t going to waste… but who really wants to go to the effort to build one of these if we don’t ABSOLUTELY KNOW that it does work? Today we’ll both find that out. I was curious, so I built one. I also tested it from the floor below so that we can all know whether this endeavor is worth the sweat we have to put into it. Because I live in an apartment, I don’t own a truck, and I don’t have access to power tools, this is also the NO-TOOLS version of how to build a tennis ball riser (with the exception of a drill). So sit back, relax, and enjoy this alternate tennis-ball-riser-building-process, and let’s find out whether these things actually do any good.
