Members SpaceNorman Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've been using one of these for years without any problems. It's easy to lug, easy to setup and reasonably comfortable. It holds my 250+ pounds without a problem. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Bench/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members c+t in b Posted February 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 thats pretty similar to what i have now. the bottom adjustment doesnt really fit snug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceNorman Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Is it possible you've got a defective unit? I've got a pair of 'em ... one is coming up on 8 years old ... both of which have worked well and without incident. There is some "play" in the latching mechanism .... however nothing that I ever considered to compromised it's ability to support (and I'm a big guy!). What problems have you had with your unit of similar design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members c+t in b Posted February 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 the latches under the seat dont go in far enough and fall out causing the seat to collapse from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pigger Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've had issues with the X-type benches collapsing and/or breaking welds, so I finally got Yamaha's best drum throne. Strong, and height-adjustable, no problems in 14 years of stage use. I'm a physically energetic player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frogmonkey Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Drum thrones don't work for me because I cant "scoot" over easily. I currently use a roc'n'soc throne, but I'm looking for a bench. I'm energetic, too. But I play a lot of repetitive parts in reggae and salsa, and I've been very sensitive to bad ergonomics lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhat Posted February 17, 2010 Members Share Posted February 17, 2010 My bench is like space but with less padding. Its a cheapie. It does adjust with a carrage bolt and unless a weld breaks aint going anywhere. My load out into the truck is an easy one. board in the case , x stand for the board and the bench. I dont break down the bench and have the X brace keyboard stand marked with a white line on the teeth to make for the same set up every time. I agree a bench does give you the mobility over a drum stool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
