      OK, here’s the ‘before’ platform:



      And the after.....



      This project turned out great. I'm really surprised how much quieter the new drum is. I was expecting a change in sound but it was far more dramatic than I expected and I really didn’t think it would be much quieter. The rebound of the bag is a fair bit faster so it took a bit to get used to that but all good now.

        Very nice! I especially like the Mighty Mick's picture. I've been trying to think of how to decorate my speed bag wall. I wonder if they make antique boxing signs wallpaper.

                That's a nice platform! Have you posted any videos working the bag with it?

                  Thank you. No I haven't posted any videos, I'm not really a video taking kinda guy. I'll try to get something eventually up but don't hold your breath
