Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else on the forums.

Can anyone recommend a drum throne(stool) as my current one is a budget throne and is nearly 5 years old.

i am after one that will allow me to play for hours without becoming uncomfy.

Thanks for any help you may have to offer!

I've tried a number of thrones through the years. My favorite and in my opinion the best is my current throne. I have a roc-n-soc saddle style. Comfortable for hours of playing and very well made.

roc-n-soc and pork pie make really nice ones. theres alot of really nice ones but you definately gotta pay for them. they're more expensive than i can stand paying for them, but if thats important to you then grab you one!

if your looking for a good throne roc n soc is probably one of the best but it is expensive, so if you want to save some money get the seat on e-bay and use your old base but first find out what the hole in the seat measures I think it's 7/8 or 1 inch then measure the shaft on your base it may fit if it does your in business. The seat should cost around $60.00 You can get a replacement seat at Guitar center as well, that's not bad for a roc n soc throne. GOOD LUCK SLINGERLAND

So i were to buy a really expensive throne like roc n soc
Would it make me play harder/comfier?

Does it improve drumming stance and feel?

SkiWeed I hope this helps you out but if your posture is bad when sitting your going to have back problems and tire out fast, sit up straight and try to relax, a good throne will help you become more comfortable while sitting and be easier or better on your back. Now the idea is to find a throne that's good for YOU. Try Roc n Soc or Pork Pie they make excellent thrones.
GOOD LUCK ON YOU JOURNEY SLINGERLAND

You'll get an excellent result and exactly what you're looking for (ie: hours of playing in comfort) from a mapex - even mid-range - suede or faux suede saddle-style throne, providing you don't insist on having a back rest. I personally have never needed one. A posture correction will do so much more good to your back than a back rest will.

I paid around £90 for mine, so it wasn't bank-breaking, but I've had hours and hours of enjoyment from it. It's never let me down.

Roc'n'soc are also awesome, don't get me wrong, but I agree with Slingerland, it really does depend on what's good for you. Go into a shop where you can try one out if you can, and when you buy, keep the receipt just in case.

Hope this helps.
Keep drumming.

I would recommend a double braced stool for sturdyness, And one especially with a good name on it like Ludwig or Pearl.
Good luck!!

Yeah Roc 'n' Soc, Ford Smart Ass, Pork Pie are good but they are vinyl and use cheap mounded foam. Its like sitting on plastic...no wonder we sweat. A real throne fit for a king can be found on www.drumthrones.co.uk...............We're talking perforated leather and memory foam...........awesome...
