I share a studio with a photographer, so it's not possible to leave a drum kit set up in the best spot all the time. The room is plenty big, so I'm thinking of building a rolling drum riser, so I can leave the drums set up all the time, but roll them into a corner out of the way when I don't need them.
Is there anything I should take into account before building the riser on wheels?
Thanks

Make sure you get wheels that lock.
-edit....I just realized how snarky this sounds. Didn't mean it.

this may not be a problem but when i use to build theatre sets we would have to make sure measuments are perfect so we don't get any rattling wheels. those wheels will get noisey if they're not all touching the floor correctly.

Go for the best casters that fit the budget. They usually have weight ratings on the package.

I would try to maout the caster outside the frame of the riser. That way if anything needs to be repaired or changed it will be easier.
