Eat your Noise
I ordered two of these Noise Eaters for my hi-hat standard and kick drum pedal.
This is essentially a small rubber mat, with soft, absorbing half balls on the bottom.
These balls compress when the pedal is hit on the mat and takes out some of the thump for neighbours and in rooms downstairs.
These definitely work and reduced the noise transferred downstairs, although it is more effective with the kick pedal than the hi-hat stand.
I am still planning on building a drum platform as these don't take out all of the noise or vibration. But if you want to make a start in reducing noise and vibration, then this is worth considering.
Depending on your house construction and placement of the kit, these may be enough with out any additional padding or platform.
I feel they are a bit pricey for what they are, but you can't put a price on not upsetting your neighbours or the 'other half'. These are extremely well made and are pretty effective.

Do not expect to much of it.
I own an electric drumkit and wanted to make it completely silent by reducing the thumping noise of the kickpedal and hi-hat controller. At first I did not want to buy the noise eaters because of their high price. But I quickly found out that there were no other alternatives. Eventually after some hard thinking, I decided to buy the noise eaters.
When they were delivered to my house, they were surprisingly heavy and bigger than I expected. I could tell this was a quality product, but it still did not live up to the high price. After some testing I can confirm that the noise eaters were able to dampen the thump heard downstairs. Roland claims to reduce the noise by 75%, but in my experience it was not this big of a change. I would say it will help reduce the thump up to 50%. The noise eaters do not wobble as much as I imagined. The kickpedal and the hi-hat controller remained relatively stable.
Because of the high price of 100 EUR per piece, I do not think I would recommend this solution. The price is not worth it for what it does (or claims to do).

Worth the Peace of Mind
It dampens the vibrations your floor (and subsequently people under you) receive from banging on your kick-drum and/or hi-hat. If you can't splurge for a whole platform, this is definitely a must-have, and a really worthy investment.

It works
Quality durable product, does not slip. I had a self-made sound and vibrations isolation on the floor, but vibration from bass-pedal (Roland KD-9) were pretty sensitive for neighbours. NE-10 helps to reduce vibrations (not for 100%, but very effective) to the floor. It is better to try to put it on different surfaces: on the carpet or drum rug or straight on the floor - damping effect is different, so you can choose best option.
Cons.: a bit expensive.

Very very solid
Ok so everyone saw them on video but when u see them in real life they are actually impressive - very heavy - and they seem to do the job. When u see them on drums you see half because the rest is under the drum. So no they are worth 100-% of their price - no discussion. Now I can't juge from sound isolation perspective - but I played all day and didn't see any neighbors - so what can I say

Didn't function for my set up
We could not tell any difference. It sounded basically the same with it without it. I already have the roland drum mat. But I guess every house is different and people shouldn't get it just because it doesn't work for some. For the price I had to notice a difference and there was maybe a10% difference at the most (and that was hard to be sure).

The noise eater board does everything that it sets out to do perfectly. I have zero concern now using a kick pedal on a practice pad set in an apartment. Plus it works perfectly on laminate floors -- no sliding what so ever.
The only problem is its price. I guess this is to recoup the R&D costs that must have gone it into developing the product? DIY solutions won't be nearly as good. Lastly, the board really is not something that gets old -- so you only buy it once.

Good quality and sound reduction as advertised
Purchased for my sons vdrums td1kv. Although they are a little bit larger than I thought my neighbours downstairs are very grateful...
