I am a beginning drummer. A big obstacle to me wanting to practice was the drum throne that came with my kit. It was small, too low, and entirely too hard for me to sit on comfortably. I bought the Pork Pie throne after reading that they are made for "the larger drummer". I got it last night, and WOW...it's as comfortable as my couch. It's definitely large enough to accommodate me (I'm six feet tall and quite large framed, so it's hard to find a throne that's comfortable), and it's got a nice seat that is firm enough to hold me in place while I drum, and yet soft enough that my tuchus doesn't get sore. I am really glad I bought it! Although the price is a little high, I think it's worth it. It's definitely a high quality throne.

(Plus, holy cow - the purple velvet is completely and 100% pimpin'!)

worth the $$$$ and once you sit on it you will never want to play on another throne the best throne i have ever played with can seat on it for hours

Wow is the first thing I said when I sat down. It's a really nice upgrade from a cheapy stock kit throne. I went with the bicycle style because the round throne feels really squishy and it's hard to stay in one spot while you're playing. Like the title says, once you buy it, it's worth the price!

I got this about a week ago. I upgraded from a hard cheap round throne that surprisingly lasted me almost 6 years. It was falling apart and I would always slide off it when I played blastbeats. This thing is soo comfortable. My legs don't get as tired and my back isn't sore. It does take a while to realize the difference it makes, though. I like the motorcycle better than the round version because of the shape which frees up your legs. And as for the height, it does sit a little high, but the lowest setting is as low as you would want to go anyways. It's also not too high priced, considering what a nice throne this is. Be warned, though! The only side effect of this throne is not wanting to play when you sit in it, but sit back and relax instead.

Get it! And be sure to get a sweet color, too.

This is by far the very best drum throne I have ever used. The back support leaves me with no fatigue or pain after a five set night. I would recommend this throne to the thinnest or heaviest drummer out there. PEACE!
