As far as I'm aware it's a platform that someone designed to reduce 
the amount of vibration that passes from the kit to (and therefore 
through) the floor, particularly from the pedals.

I'm not sure how useful it would be for an acoustic kit as it 
wouldn't do much to reduce the sounds of the drums themselves but 
for an electronic kit it seems ideal (if it works!).

Here's the link to the instructions in case you missed it in my 
earlier post - http://www.dtxpressions.com/platform
