    Noise

    Good Evening. So it appears I will be moving to a 3rd floor condo. No garage(grr.). On the water so its not so bad. The ubolt is behind me now and I really love the sound of the old everlast ball. The building is concrete structure. I will be on the corner so an outside wall will be available. You think there is a way to mount solid and not tick off the neighbors? I have been thinking about making a overkill platform if that would help??

    When I lived in a concrete condo, the noise was only heard in the hallway. The other tenants never heard noise in their units. All that is required of you is to put a bag filled with sand on top of the platform.
    Don't buy your speed bag from the same place you buy your tackle box.

      I had a similar situation. I originally lived in a single detached cottage, but since moved to an apartment with tenants above me. I had a old school everlast platform and experimented with different amounts of weight in a bin on top to see what would stop the sound/vibration. I had to put about 100 lbs on top to get it to a minimum.

      That being said, I didnt believe the Everlast platform was sturdy enough to support this amount of weight for a long period of time, so I customized a Prime fighter 400 with a 6 inch-110lb Butcher block reinforced with a 1/4 inch- 30lb steel plate, added two additional support angles on top, and also an additional horizontal support. Bringing it to a safe, QUITE and sturdy 140lbs.

      I havent had any complaints from any of the neighbors, they don't know I have a speedbag platform set up!

        !!! Dude, you need to see a doctor about your speed bag addiction. That is a SERIOUS speed bag man cave.

        ...and you might send Randy Ray of Primefighter sports a picture of your unique adaption to the PF-400. That is amazing work.

              IMHO...
              To me (and this is just my personal taste), I prefer a drum that is a little thinner (1 3/4" - 2") and really well braced (Like my vintage platform). WHY? Because the sound is just killer! When a platform is too thick or too weighted-down, you lose that great drum sound...and it's all about the sound to me. I think they were on to something way-back-when!


              Now, I know this doesn't apply to this post...and you need something quiet. A thick drum will do that.

                I think you like showing that thing off. If that platform were mine, I'd do the same. YOU LUCKY STIFF.

                    Vintage, because it IS vintage, with JUXT's help, it looks like it's from somewhere around 1917ish.

                    ...and No, you can't have it! I've decided that I will be burried with it....or 'will' it to Paranday for safe keeping.

                      I've been communicating via SBC with a bagger in michigan who sent me this picture of his board setup.

                      Looks pretty old school, and gorgeous.
