Members Happy_Thom Posted June 25, 2015 Members Posted June 25, 2015 Hi guys I wonder if anyone has any suggestions about my drum stool? It's brand new and I got it from thomann.de or whatever they're called. I put it together no problem but now i can't seem to get the seat bit off the stool - I'm fairly sure the only thing that's holding it in place is the wing-nut but even when removed completely the seat bit just wobbles and I can't take it apart
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted June 26, 2015 Members Posted June 26, 2015 Happy Thom: It doesn't take much at all to hold that seat top on.Have you tried backing the entire wing nut out to see if it still clings after the wing nut is removed? Pictures if you tried that and it doesn't work. D

D I'm so sorry I missed your reply - I'll get on that ASAP. Even without the wingnut attached at all it still won't come off - so bizarre...
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 4, 2015 Members Posted November 4, 2015 That is indeed bizarro.I have had this happen to me once before and it turned out when I bought the throne, they sold me the wrong base for the top.Once married, the two wouldn't come apart!D
Members Mikeo Posted November 10, 2015 Members Posted November 10, 2015 I need a new drum throne too. There's nothing wrong with mine cosmetically, but a few hours in the saddle and it's not cutting it on my butt. Maybe I really do need to spend 150-200 bucks on a new one. It's probably something you shouldn't order on line, and should physically try in a shop.
Members Happy_Thom Posted November 10, 2015 Author Members Posted November 10, 2015 Ah that seems like it might be a possibility. You're right about trying it out before you buy - I just found a good price and thought I'd go with it. I paid about £50 for it and It's double in my local music shop.
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 10, 2015 Members Posted November 10, 2015 Rock 'N' Soc. Only Throne I will order without sitting on it. Dang Comfortable. D
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted November 10, 2015 Members Posted November 10, 2015 At least your throne didn't do this! This could require immediate medical attention! D
Members Mikeo Posted November 10, 2015 Members Posted November 10, 2015 At least your throne didn't do this! This could require immediate medical attention! D OMG do all drum throne seats fit the frames. I'm not sure if they are standard. I could just order the seat part for not that much coin. I currently have a Gibraltar drum throne. Like this one. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/roc-n-soc-original-retrofit-throne-top I did a quick measurement and the seat post I have looks like a 7/8 post, but I need to get a set of vernier calipers on it to make sure it's not some weird meter thing and off a bit.
Members Voltan Posted November 11, 2015 Members Posted November 11, 2015 ive been running a pearl hydraulic roadster throne for about six or seven years now. at one point i was tipping 300 lbs. ( 220 now), and it still performs flawlessly. i tried the roc and socs but it felt like i was sitting on a couch... lots of choices mean better chances at finding a good fit for YOUR personal preferences...
Members FitchFY Posted November 12, 2015 Members Posted November 12, 2015 That picture is terrifying!!! Oh man... if you ever needed a reason to lose a few pounds... I have a Tama First Chair drum throne and have had it for a few years and it's gotten a LOT of use. Still works 100% fine.
