Have been thinking about making a platform for my edrum kit (Roland TD-17kv2), but I have some questions, and it would be perfect if experienced people share their knowledge.

First one is, what is the optimal size? More importantly, is a place for chair included on the platform? Or is it beside it? It would change the platform size quite a bit.

Secondly, I've seen some people use tennis balls, and others use tubes. Any consensus on which one is better?

My neighbors hear mostly pedal sounds, so I assume it is vibration that bothers them. They say it is quite low, but I'd feel much better if it were reduced to nothing (in their flats, obviously). Concrete and brick house.
