Gibraltar Drum Throne with Adjustable Height Motorcycle-Style Seat, Double-Braced Legs, Sturdy Drum Stool for Drummers, Comfortable Cushion for Practice or Performance (6608)

I have been using a Sunlite drum throne that I bought back in the 1980s to play acoustic guitar gigs for the past ten years, and it's finally time to retire it, as hardware is starting to come loose, though it will still hold me. I recently bought a Stage Rocker throne, and for its low price, worked fine for a couple of gigs, but was simply uncomfortable after an hour sitting on it. Not sure if it's the padding, but I knew I needed something else. During a break, I looked up drum thrones on Amazon and found the Gibraltar 6608. Well, I'm here to tell ya that this throne provides plenty of padded comfort, and though this is the first "bike seat" style I have ever used, I am lovin' it! The tripod is rock solid and stable, raises high enough to where I like it (maximum of 24"), and the bike seat is truly an improvement, comfort-wise. Similar thrones made by higher-end manufacturers can cost six times what I paid for this seat, and I could not justify the cost-for-quality reasoning on the basis of this throne's quality and price. I am now one most happy - seated - camper!

I picked this up for use with an electronic set that I got for my condo. I own another Gibraltar throne for my acoustic set and have been very pleased with that, so the decision to purchase another was an easy one. It's packaged well for shipment and comes out of the box for easy assembly in a matter of minutes. It's easily adjustable for drummers of different heights or height preference and the shape is comfortable for the legs. The seat itself is firm and the throne as a whole feels very stable. As with most items, Amazon's price is great! I would recommend this for a drummer of any experience level. If you're looking for your first throne, you can't go wrong with the Gibraltar 6608. Additionally, I'd recommend a backless stool over one with a backrest. It allows for a drummer to be active in their playing, as well as increases your core stability.

I had been using a broken throne for over a year. It wasn't mounted well since it had broke and was wobbly and all of that. I finally realized it was time to get a new one. I did some research and found this Gibraltar one. I have been an extremely satisfied Gibraltar hardware customer for years. I have almost all Gibraltar Hardware for my entire set, as well as one of their racks. So I figured I'd try this throne. After having it for a few weeks now, I can't believe I waited so long to get a new one. This one is super rock solid built. Very sturdy, and extremely comfortable. Adjusts pretty easily, but once adjusted, it will never let you down by moving or readjusting. It not only has a regular tightening knob, but also a seperate additional locking mechanism that you can hand tighten with your drum key (same one you would use to tighten the drum heads, hardware, etc). This throne does not wobble, tip, or let you down even under the hardest playing experiences. Whether you a hard rock or metal guy who needs a super strong throne so you can give it all your weight so your legs can give your double bass drum pedals a work out, or you are a jazz muscian that just needs a comfortable balanced seat, you cannot possible go wrong with this throne.

When we purchased this throne, it was with the intention of possibly upgrading it at some point. The reasoning behind this was that cheaper drum thrones (i.e. anything below $300) would eventually break when used by someone who went over the 150/200 pound weight limit on all of the single-post non hydraulic drum thrones. After doing a slight bit of research, Gibraltar seemed to fit the bill for a rock solid investment (some pun intended). Construction: It is a single post holding a wide seat, but features many points to anchor the various pieces together. The seat is a bit difficult to raise or lower without a key, but this could be seen as a plus by those of a larger frame. Those who use this in our household are big and/or tall and appreciate that it isn't too difficult to change heights, and stays solidly once adjusted. The faux leather and padding seem very well made for something of this level, and the metal (probably aluminum) is light but strong. Comfort: Needing a wider seat and strong foundation, this throne certainly does a fair job. However, new and more expensive thrones will have low lumbar support and built in ergonomics for leg spacing and comfort. As stated before, if you're looking for a budget seat in the sub-$100 range, and need something that will last, this seems like one of your best bets. However, because of the 'not leather' material and overall lack of features, on hot days or long play sessions it can cause extreme heat on the backs of your legs and you may need to get used to playing on it. Design: It's good looking, but not flashy at all. Looks better than the $30-$50 counterparts you see online and can definitely be mistaken for some of the higher end comfortable cloth covered thrones. However, because of it's simple 3 leg tripod design and black-on-silver make up, it won't fool many up close. Overall, we're very pleased to find something that won't buckle as soon as someone over 150 sits on it, and that can extend over one foot off the ground. Didn't break the bank, which was a nice bonus, allowing us to invest in other equipment for the time being. One star removed because of the cheap quality of the parts, and inability to adjust easily, all these point to a few years before it breaks rather than many.

Great product

Great for my husband plays his drums on the weekend keeps his bottom comfy he love it

it keeps getting squashed even after securing the lower bolt to the maximum.

Gibraltar drum throne is very solid and will accommodate comfortable seating with a tractor style seat

Quick delivery. Wasn't expecting it for another 4 days. Great throne at a great price too. Only con is that the seat doesn't swivel, but that's not too big of an issue for me. Overall, a great buy. Definitely recommend.

Ottimo prodotto,lo uso nei concerti dal vivo.Soppratutto il serraggio della vite che regola l'altezza è efficiente, il seggiolino non scende durante i concerti. (non lo auguro a nessuno).La postura risulta corretta e il seggiolino è correttamente imbottito. L'unica accortezza se si è abituati ai seggiolini tondi è un minimo di attenzione nel sedersi e nell'alzarsi (bisogna aprire la gamba con un angolazione un pò più ampia).

Great seat very sturdy best feature is it can be lowered & raised quite high also quite comfortable

Llevaba 8 años con el banquillo que incluia la bateria y en el ultimo año, aunque solo toco un dia a la semana, con solo estar 5 horas ensayando terminaba con un dolor de espalda horrible. Con el Gibraltar 6608 no más dolor, desde la primera sesión se noto el cambio. El asiento brinda total comodidad y los materiales con los que está construido hacen que éste banquillo se sienta robusto y resistente. El sistema de apertura del tripie queda bien fijo y no permite movimientos involuntarios y aunque el sistema para que el asiento no gire con respecto a su base de repente se suelta para mi no presenta mayor problema. Y desde que establecí el sistema de altura del asiento me he olvidado del tema ya que no me ha dado ningun problema. Tampoco ha resultado para mi un gran cambio pasar de un asiento redondo a un asiento tipo motocicleta en mi forma de tocar, si llama mucha la atención y le imprime cierto estilo a la bateria en su conjunto. No se cual sea la diferencia entre este banquillo y uno de los etiquetados como "profesional" ya que nunca he usado uno pero creo que en cuanto a funcionalidad no debe haber gran cambio. En conclusión la compra realizada fue una mejora sustancial con respecto a lo que tenia y aunque no es el banquillo mas barato que puedas encontrar creo que vale la pena hacer el esfuerzo de cubrir el monto de lo que cuesta.
