I had a Roc N Soc throne for the past 4 years. I am in a band that plays about 3-4 shows a month, 3 hours a night. My Roc N Soc was really nice and comfy, but it broke at the weld on the seat after a few years. I bought this in a pinch til my new pork pie arrives and it works fine but I honestly didn't think I was going to make it through the night it was so uncomfortable. It is built well, but if you play long nights, it hurts. My butt kept going to sleep. I guess I got spoiled with my Roc N Soc.

I use mine primarily for seated conga playing and it works for me. I'm a big guy at 250 pounds and this throne is comfortable, and after adjusting it properly, it has never slipped. Good value, if mine got lost or stolen I'd probably replace it with another.

Picked this up as a backup/traveling throne. The hardware is cheap, adjustment design is illogical. My first bad experience with a Tama product. Bite the bullet and spend the extra money on a Pork Pie, you'll thank me later.

This is a really nice seat. It kinda feels like a computer chair. I also like how you need a drum key to tighten the seat. If its slides down while playing, you're not tightning it enough. Don't be wimpy. Not bad for the price either. I recommend this for beginners or experts.

This throne is very sturdy and VERY versatile. I've had problems in the past where thrones would'n go high enough or low enough and this throne doesn't have either of those problems. Also, like I said, this throne is real solid, I haven't had any problems with it slipping. It's not as comfortable as some other thrones I've sat on, but those types of thrones go for over twice the price of this. I would definitely recommend this for anyone on a budget.
