Hi thank you for your replies, So my best bet is to do a 2 leaf system, neoprene on the base of leaf 2, Use a decoupling hanger for the top of leaf 2 to keep it up right. How large of an air gap do you think is enough for this space? . Thank youyes the drum riser damps specific frequencies but it does not "isolate".
