The LimeLight Lite Series 8' x 10' portable drum riser made with 2' x 4' panels provides 80 square feet of elevated performance space while keeping every individual platform compact, lightweight, and easy to transport.
Built entirely from ten 2' x 4' LimeLight Lite Series platforms with Expandable X-Riser bases, this rectangular drum riser gives drummers more left-to-right room than an 8' x 8' riser for larger drum kits, additional cymbals, percussion equipment, monitors, and other gear.
The smaller 2' x 4' platforms are also easier to carry, load, unload, and store - and their compact size makes this configuration especially convenient when transporting a drum riser in standard passenger vehicles.
Available in 8", 16", and 24" heights with Grey Carpet, Black HexCoat, or Premium Wood Laminate finishes.
What's Included
- (10) 2' x 4' LimeLight Lite Series Platforms
- (10) SecureLock Expandable X-Riser Bases
- Choice of 8", 16", or 24" height
- Choice of Grey Carpet, Black HexCoat, or Premium Wood Laminate finish
More Room for Your Drum Kit. Smaller Panels to Transport.
An 8' x 10' drum riser provides 80 square feet of usable platform space, giving drummers an additional two feet of width compared with an 8' x 8' drum riser.
That extra left-to-right space can make a significant difference for larger drum kits, additional cymbals, percussion setups, monitors, and other equipment.
But a larger drum riser doesn't have to mean larger, harder-to-handle stage decks.
This configuration is built entirely from compact 2' x 4' modular stage platforms, so the complete 8' x 10' riser breaks down into smaller individual components for easier carrying, transportation, and storage.
Designed for Easier Transportation
Traditional drum risers can be difficult to move because of the size and weight of their individual components.
The LimeLight 2' x 4' platform configuration takes a different approach.
The smaller platforms are easier to handle and compact enough to fit into many standard passenger vehicles, depending on the vehicle and other equipment being transported.
This makes the 8' x 10' configuration particularly useful for bands, musicians, schools, churches, venues, and AV production companies that regularly move their staging between locations.
Fast Setup and Teardown
Each platform connects to its Expandable X-Riser base using LimeLight's SecureLock tool-free connection system.
Expand the riser, lock it into position, attach the platform, and connect the adjoining sections.
After the performance, the system breaks back down into compact 2' x 4' platforms, while the X-Riser bases fold for transportation and storage.
The result is a full-size 8' x 10' drum riser without oversized stage panels that can be difficult to move and store.

Choose Your Drum Riser Finish
Black HexCoat is our most popular overall stage finish and provides the traditional black appearance commonly used for concerts, performances, and production environments.
Grey Carpet is a popular choice for drum risers because the carpet can help dampen vibration and reduce unwanted noise while providing a familiar surface beneath the drum kit.
Premium Wood Laminate provides a more finished appearance for churches, schools, theaters, hotels, and other environments where the appearance of the stage is an important consideration.

8' x 10' Portable Drum Riser FAQs
How many platforms make up this 8' x 10' drum riser?
This configuration is made entirely from ten 2' x 4' LimeLight Lite Series platforms with ten matching Expandable X-Riser bases.
How much space does an 8' x 10' drum riser provide?
An 8' x 10' drum riser provides 80 square feet of elevated performance space.
Why choose an 8' x 10' drum riser instead of an 8' x 8'?
An 8' x 10' drum riser provides an additional two feet of left-to-right space compared with an 8' x 8' riser. That additional width can be useful for larger drum kits, additional cymbals, percussion equipment, monitors, and other gear.
Why build an 8' x 10' drum riser with 2' x 4' panels?
The smaller 2' x 4' platforms make the individual pieces easier to carry, load, unload, transport, and store. You get the space of a large 8' x 10' drum riser without having to handle large individual stage decks.
Can this drum riser be transported in a car?
The individual 2' x 4' platforms are compact enough to fit in many standard passenger vehicles, although actual cargo capacity depends on the vehicle, riser height, drum kit, and other equipment being transported.
Is this drum riser easy for one person to handle?
The compact 2' x 4' platform size makes the individual stage sections easier for one person to carry and position during setup and teardown than larger stage decks.
What heights are available?
The LimeLight 8' x 10' portable drum riser is available in 8", 16", and 24" heights.
Which finish is best for a drum riser?
Black HexCoat is our most popular overall stage finish. However, many drummers choose Grey Carpet because carpet can help dampen vibration and unwanted noise around the drum kit.
Premium Wood Laminate is available when a more premium finish is preferred.
Can I expand or reconfigure the drum riser later?
Yes. LimeLight Lite Series staging is modular. The individual 2' x 4' platforms and Expandable X-Riser bases can be rearranged or combined with additional compatible components as your staging needs change.
Is the drum riser easy to store?
Yes. The compact 2' x 4' platforms are designed for easier handling and storage, while the Expandable X-Riser bases fold down when not in use.

What Customers are Saying
-
John N. - AV Professional
We assembled 20 platforms in 12 minutes and were able to do sound check within 1 hour. We've worked with similar stage designs from other manufacturer's before, but LimeLight's platform to base connectors are a game changer.

Lydia S. - High School Aquatics Director
One word - Genius!

The design is much lighter than what we've been using, and intuitive - everything made sense. We had no trouble putting the stage together the very first time.
