Anyone have any luck with DIY drum risers or other dulling of massive drum volume?

I have.

I floated a floor ( made from: plywood - drywall - soundstop - plywood) on 2" blocks of neoprene rubber. I made sure the floor didn't touch any of the walls on the sides. Then, I used two layers of carpet "foam" (I used felt, not foam) then a layer of carpet.

I'm sure I could've done something very similar with just a 'riser'.

I can play drums anytime (almost).
