I use it for my studio with linoleum floor and full set drumkit with 4 toms and 2 crashes plus 1 ride and 1 hihat. Everything fits on the carpet and drum throne too. No awful "riding" during the play, no any problems with sides of the carpets (all lay down on the floor, pretty nice look). Im not sure about the isolation but I believe it helps somehow too. Yes, and look with sign very nice! You can see it even with full drum set on it, because it's right in the center, so your bass drum will not hide it.
