Built for Live Performance and Event Environments

LimeLight portable drum risers provide dedicated elevated space for drum kits and percussion setups while keeping transport, storage, and assembly simple.

The 8' × 6' configuration provides 48 square feet of platform space, making it a practical option for compact drum setups and venues with limited stage space. Its combination of 4' × 4' and 2' × 4' platforms creates the rectangular footprint with just four platform sections.

Measure your complete setup - including drums, throne, cymbal stands, and any monitors - and allow room for access and movement before selecting your footprint.

Because the LimeLight system is modular, additional compatible platforms and risers can be added to create a larger drum riser or performance stage.

Black HexCoat provides a traditional black stage appearance. Grey Carpet is a popular choice for drum risers because its carpeted surface can help dampen vibration and reduce unwanted contact noise from drum hardware and equipment. Premium Wood Laminate, exclusive to LimeLight, provides a finished appearance for environments where a traditional black stage does not match the overall aesthetic.

Portable drum risers are well suited for:

• Bands and musicians

Portable Drum Riser FAQs

What size drum riser do I need?

Can I expand the drum riser later?

Yes. The LimeLight Lite Series is modular and expandable. Additional compatible platforms and Expandable X-Riser bases can be added to create larger drum riser or stage configurations.

Is the drum riser easy to transport and store?

Each LimeLight platform and riser can be assembled and connected to the stage in approximately one minute. Total setup time varies with the configuration and accessories.
