from the floor or riser as well
The Advanced Hardware System featured on their hi-end hardware includes things like double strut legs to prevent lateral movement, and hidden nylon bushings within the tubes to prevent metal-to-metal contact thus ending the worry of squeaks or rattles that can be picked up on a mic — or even more-so just worrisome if you are practicing by yourself! And there are also oversized rubber feet to help keep stands from creeping but also act as ***isolators from the floor or riser as well***.
I can't really understand what is meant here - wehether those feet act as a riser (i.e. they can be used to make the stand higher) or they isolate the stand from the floor/the riser (the last being a platform of some kind)?
Please advise!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

drum riser
the second interpretation
His second interpretation is how I read it: the rubber feet isolate the stand from the floor or the riser. In other words, the feet act as a kind of buffer between the stand and either the floor or the riser. The rubber feet do not in themselves act as "risers" for the stand.

: I see what you mean! It seems pretty obvious to an ENS that since 'as isolators' is plural, 'riser' couldn't be interpreted 'or (as) risers' — but I guess that point might not be obvious to a foregner.

Thank you, Tony. Yes, the fact that 'riser' is sg. leads to only one possible interpretation. But I think this is the issue for the Asker, not the meaning of 'riser'.
