Rise to the Occasion with Megadeck

For touring bands of all sizes and types, their entourage is not complete without instrument risers from Megadeck, the industry standard.

Rising Needs

Concert staging needs vary from show to show and venue to venue but one item that is vital to the success of any music show is stage risers. Risers are used for a variety of visual and acoustic purposes in live music performances. Their use will depend on a number of criteria including the size of the band or ensemble and the size and design of the venue.

A drum stage riser may be all that is needed for a small band. In most cases the drummer is placed at the rear of the stage with the singer and other band members in the front. This configuration works because the drummer stays in one place while other band members move around the stage more. Additionally, the size of the drum set would obscure the rest of the band if placed in the front. A riser is also essential for the drummer for acoustic and visual purposes. Having the drum set in a raised position ensures that the sound is distributed evenly and blends seamlessly with the rest of the band. It also provides the audience with a view of the drummer.

Larger bands may require multiple or tiered stage risers to aid in the placement of different instruments and performers. Stage configurations for larger bands can vary enormously depending on the size of the group, the instruments involved and the visual effect they want to project to the audience.
