*BURP* Damn G.A.S.!

[Rotarded]

I couldn't help myself after a year of never getting comfortable and my (50 year old ) rear end being tired and sore after a couple of sets, I broke down and replaced this Gibraltar uncomfortable vinyl throne:




with this RocnSoc Nitro throne:



Thanks to the "local musical instruments for sale" site. Best $125 I could have spent!

The haul in the last 5 weeks from "second hand" equipment:

DW 5000 accelerator single pedal new in box with soft carrying case, $100
Zildjian Sound Lab Prototype 17" Crash in Mint condition, $100
Zildjian A Custom 16" Crash without a stick mark or fingerprint on it, $100
Roc-n-Soc Throne, $125

The price of G.A.S. in my world is WAYYY down!

You wouldn't expect that such a simple component would make such a big difference. But it sure does, doesn't it? I went from pain after a half hour to being able to sit for hours and not even realize it. Probably the most important piece of gear I have drumming wise. It was well worth it, wasn't it?

Wow that's a great price. Old throne didn't look that bad though.

but it uncomfortable the look doesn't matter

enjoy your new throne brother

that one looks nice. Looks like you'll have more leg room now the old one looked pretty beefy.

You're right. When I moved from my old house I had my drums packed up so I kept my cheap PDP throne at the practice space. I still use it but yesterday that thing was just killing my thighs and lower back. I gotta start taking my RnS to practice again. HUGE difference in comfort.

I have realized, out of all the gear that I have, a good throne is very important. Being a person with a lot of back problems, having a good throne that is comfortable makes all the difference in the world. Good and wise choice you made.

I would argue that a throne is the single most important piece of equipment a drummer will ever want to spend money on!!!
