I have to say that I love this throne. I got the silver/red one and it is a major improvement over my cheapo round throne. The stand is heavy duty and the top is nice and soft but amazingly firm once you settle in. I chose the round one because the moto ones are so big. It would be nice if it was hydraulic and went an inch or two lower but I can get used to it like this. I can't imagine anyone using the highest setting though. I picked this over the roc-n soc because it was a bit softer. Hope this helps.

I just bought this throne about 2 weeks ago. This throne is really nice. Some Funky designs, I really like it. Also playing on this thing for long hours, I don't feel anymore butt cramps. I had this cheap throne that came with my cheap electric set. The wing nut kept unscrewing and everything. Anyways, back to this throne... it looks like it's made out of very thick metal and it's kinda heavy but not to heavy. I weigh 130 pounds so when i say not to heavy, I mean you gotta be weak to have a hard time picking it up. So far the cushion on the seat is pretty thick and confy and it doesn't deflate like my last throne, lol. It's comfy but it's still a throne and not a sofa... I think this is a good buy if you have the money but don't buy if you have a budget. Thanks later

Probably one of the top 5 thrones available on the open market. This throne is very soft to sit on...like sitting on air. Amazingly this seat is built like a truck but is light in weight, making transport a breeze. The one problem I have with this stool is they tout "Built by an American" as a selling point when in fact the base is made in Taiwan. All in all a very comfortable throne.

This really is a great throne, that is very very comfortable. It's like sitting on the sofa minus a backrest. The extra thick seat will hold you up, unlike so many cheaper seats where the padding crushes down immediately upon sitting on it and then feel as if you are sitting on the board (actually, you are), but with pork pie there will be plenty of padding to keep your tushy comfy.

The price is high, that's not to say that they're out of line with the price, they are charging what they go for, but when you really think about it, it's some metal and padding. Not a great value when you think about the materials involved. However for features, quality and comfort, it really can't be beat.

I got this throne a few months ago, and I love it! Not only does it look awesome, it helps my back feel good for however long I need to play! I would recommend this to any drummer!
