Members irnbru83 Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 How many thrones do you own and what are they used for? Right now I have my Roc-n-Soc for playing in the house and non-smoky bars. Sitting right next to it is my old regular-shaped PDP junk throne that I don't care if it gets inundated with smoke. One is more comfortable than the other. I'll let you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FitchFY Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 My Tama 1st chair goes everywhere with me - it's so solid and I never even feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members formula428 Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just the one Tama 1st chair (round). Must have bought it at least 10 years ago. I bought a galaxy snare drum case so that I wouldn't rip the leather during transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boomboomdrums Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a Roc 'N Soc that I use all the time. I also have the crap throne that it replaced. I thought I would use it while playing my keyboard. Screw that. I now just move the Roc 'N Soc over to play the keyboard. You can still smoke in bars in Houston? Gheez I didn't think you could that anywhere anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gremson Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've got an old Slingerland (I think) that just stays with my practice kit. I have to stand up after about three songs or my ass goes numb. The one I haul around and use for gigs is a Rogers tractor style seat on a Pulse bottom that I modified to fit. It's kinda {censored}ty, but it's way more comfortable than the old Slingerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danrothmusic Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just one, that's all I need--I only have one butt. I actually just got rid of one. It came with my 1st set, but I hadn't used it since getting the Pork Pie around 8 years ago or so. A classmate of mine just started drumming and has been using a shop stool--which was a step up from the bucket he had been using--so I handed the old one off to him.

Members 6topher Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 1 Been playing on the same 70's Ludwig Atlas throne since the 80's - no problems. Never seemed like that big of a deal to me - once I get going I might as well be sitting on 2 milk crates for all I notice. I would probably look at a manual RnS if I was to upgrade, but it would def be a round seat - I have sat on a few tractor styles and it just feels wrong to me... Here's my old ass holder - 'cept mine has the tube legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members irnbru83 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 SOoooo I dig the comfy-ness of my roc-n-soc, but i find that i dislike free-wheelin' thrones. I want the bastard to stay in the direction that I pointed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twosticks Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 I have 2.5?? Main one is a Tama bicycle 1st chair thing, second is a cheap Royce $30 thingy that came included when I bought my Yamaha five piece. Last is nice CB 700 that was $70 when I bought it new in the late 80's. About 10 years ago, the base of the throne developed a crack through the tubing halfway down from the seat and a little above the height adjustment screw. Seat is still good and may work on other base?? I would love a seat that swivels! I have torn up more thrones just by leaving them a little slack so that they will turn with me as do my fills and turn from side to side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
