Why not invest a little more and get a Roc&Soc Nitro throne. It is a very popular seat here on DC. I have one and love it. Good investment.
I'm new to drumming (about 5 months), and from starting out with a cheap kit ordered online on a whim, I quickly got addicted started upgrading everything. One thing I neglected is upgrading the throne. I have a hard time maintaining balance on my current one. Anyone have any experience with one that's under $100 and is good?

A good throne is a must have, if your concentrating on not falling off your throne or its not comfortable then your not concentrating on what you are playing. I have two of these Sound Percussion SP990SDT one for my e-kit and one for acoustic they are comfortable stable and you don't slide all over the place, sturdy well made and about 90 bucks. I have had some more expensive air thrones and they are nice. It just depends on what you can or are willing to spend, Good luck and welcome, lots of good advice on this forum.
Yes, you will hear different options here at what is the best, cheapets, sturdious and most comfortable. Only you can decide so go out and try some out at your local music store.
cause pearl don't make a good one under $100 ?
just kidding pearl man
good advice tho ....everyone's butt will have a preferred hardness rating .....so try them out ..double braced is the go for hardware...also search older threads for throne advice, must be a hundred of them
Roc-n-soc... It improved my playing. My cheap throne would start other ing me after an hour. I can do 3 hours on the roc-n-soc and still be comfortable. I never stop practicing now because I'm uncomfortable.
Amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they don't get it wrong.
Spend the extra now on a Roc n Soc and you will never have to buy another throne ever. Comfort with zero pain is the key. Best investment drum wise I've ever made.

I'll throw another vote in for the Roc-n-Soc.............so comfortable, I bought one to use as my office chair also
A throne that intrigues me lately is the "Carmichael"...............may get one someday..........if my R-n-S ever wears out
Just make sure it comes with a TP holder.
I appreciate the responses, I'll be checking these out. I'll go with the groundswell here and start with the roc & soc (or however the hell you spell it)
Thanks again.
