Hydraulic Drum Riser
Client: Slipknot

Project Description: Custom hydraulic drum riser with rotating, lifting and forward tilting capabilities.

Project Details: The riser extended more than ten feet above the stage and rotated in either direction at variable speeds.

Capable of tilting to a 90º angle, a drum kit was permanently mounted and a quick-change racecar style seat was installed to hold the artist in place during performance.

Operation was done via a remote tech position with integrated safety controls.
