Pearl Roadster. It's got a screw instead of a post, so it never slides down on you, and it's comfortable as hell. Some of the models come with a spring post, too.

I have a great Gibraltar bike style seat with the screw down post and i love it. I hear tat porkpie makes some great thrones though. I don't know from personal experience.

I love the Roc-n-Soc nitro throne (metal 3-leg, not the plastic 5-leg). It has a great gas shock for adjusting the height, and a damn comfortable seat. If some "bouncing" up and down bothers you though, don't get it. I personally like the feel of a little up/down movement when I really get in a groove...

What Mapex throne you have? I have a regular studio duty throne and It's very comfy. Although when I play gigs I usually sit on a regular size chair (I sit low)

I have a standard mapex 3" thick throne that came with my Venus series... the bottom part is breaking.

You really need to find a good store and try them out. I have a Pearl Roadster D2000, and it works great for me. The other usual suspects are Pork Pie and Roc-N-Soc. I found the Pork Pies very comfortable, but almost too squishy. I needed a little more support. I don't really like the bicycle type thrones, but I guess they're good if you play double bass.

I have a TAMA Ist Chair round throne with the small backrest that supports your lower back and it's really really neat. After a long while, it'll go a lot less hard and become all soft and comfortable! It's really cool, even though I use DW hardware, I like this one better than any DW throne just 'cause this Tama one has 3 legs... I don't like 4 legs...

Hmm... i hate being rude, but can anyone explain me what a throne is? i'm not familiar with the formal names.. yet...

A throne is just your drum seat or chair. Looks like this, for example:

Roc 'n Soc Nitro - most comfortable throne I've ever had, I can sit on it all day in the studio with no problems. Hands down the best throne ever! The slight bounce is great too, it acts like a shock absorber.

I use a Pacific throne made by DW. It's inexpensive and still just as comfortable and soft as it was 4 years and a couple hundred shows ago.

Gonna agree with the "Pearl Roadster" with the back... yummy. I love it.

I use the pearl roadster with built in shock absorber.It sounds funny to have shock absorber,but if you are sitting there awhile,and your ass starts to hurt you will wish you had it.It runs about 130 bucks(still cheaper that a pork pie),and is very comfy.I dont see spending the kind of money you will on a pork pie,and it not be comfy.

thats mine!!!!

I have a roc-N-soc with the hydraulic adjustment. It is by far the best I've ever used. Very comfortable!!

I use a Pork Pie throne and have to say that it has been the best investment in gear I ever made. Nice thick seat and very comfortable. As I get older, the only thing I would consider is a back rest.

Pork Pie Big Boy (Bicycle) Purple/Zebra ~ have tried Roc-N-Soc's to Pearl to Tama, Pork Pie is the best!

pork pies are awesome. i personally have a roc-n-soc and have been pleased for almost 2 years. i was dead set on a pork pie until i sat on the roc...then i was convinced. nothing else stands up to these two in my mind.

I use Mapex T560 throne - cheap and very good but I think I'd like to try something with backrest

Oh ok thanks ^^ i use the one that comes along with Pearl Export kit hehe

i don't use a throne(technically speaking), i actually use a dalmatian print stool as my throne, its easier and faster to adjust that a traditional throne and it has some bounce to it

just make sure it has a screw or you'll be very very sorry when the seat keeps "adjusting" itself to its "proper" high.

You know I finally got sick of buying junk thrones. I wont even blink when dropping 200 on a cymbal but I would cringe at spending 100 bucks on a throne.

Finally, I said the Hell with it, went to the music store and bought the most expensive throne I could find there. It was a $150.00 Gibralter Nitro bycicle throne and I'm telling you my back and legs thank me everytime I sit down to play.

I have had it for about six months and have had absolutely no problem with this throne self adjusting itself. I had the same worry about it... but its been a Godsend so far.

It feels so good I'm gonna go sit on it now I think. heh.

Haha! Ive got a Leopard skin print Mapex throne, very comfy. Its not traditionally round, but its got the leg cut out shape, you know?



Exactly like that!
