Beyond learning proper stick control and independence, selecting the most effective drum throne is the single most important purchase drummers will ever make. At Gibraltar Hardware, we have developed more than 18 different styles of drum thrones to satisfy virtually every desire imaginable, including a cool new release, titled the 9608 2T drum throne.
Why is selecting the best seat for your drum kit so important? Buying the wrong drum chair can mean the difference between learning to play kick drum patterns absolutely the wrong way, or perhaps even developing poor posture that will weaken your ability and endurance to play consistently over time. The doom and gloom gear-gone-wrong list goes on and on, but it is imperative that you select a drum throne that is the most comfortable and serviceable – not the cheapest purchase at the time.
Gibraltar Hardware offers four different drum seat lines, including traditional round, saddle, dome, and motorcycle styles. Why we have 18 different drum chair products within these four categories is to give drummers the most options regarding their particular weight, size of buttocks, positioning needs, ease in transport and color/pattern aesthetics. We even carry a hybrid style to help double bass drum players maximize their power and maneuverability between feet with our new 9608NRG throne seat. Not to mention, we have also partnered with ROCK-N-SOC USA to offer several products from their beautiful line of seats and backrest attachments to enable you to further customize your drum throne. We also make available our own throne separates offering not only backrests and seat replacements, but also two different throne bases.
NEW DRUM THRONE RELEASED
Our newest release drum chair model, the 9608 2T drum throne, comes in a few cool color combos you should definitely check out depicted here in this short video.
The large X bracket underneath offers strong support along with the contoured back panel that allows for great lumbar support. It also features the spin height adjustment to get the height you need and the Gibraltar Super Foot. This seat measures a whopping 16-inches wide by 13-inches deep, which is just enough size to give ultimate comfort to the player while being compact to carry. Gibraltar utilizes two styles of materials; a durable textured seat cushion material mixed with black vinyl side panel covering, with a stitched Gibraltar color logo and red stitching highlights. The seat is built with premium foam padding contoured for added lumbar support and comfort.
And in a way, this particular chair represents the many great qualities about the design and versatility of all Gibraltar Hardware drum thrones. Features that we carry which you should definitely look for when buying a drum throne, include:
• Rock solid single and double braced and hydraulic leg bases
• Super-lock cast seat fastening system
• Super foot solid foundation rubber feet
• Memory lock height adjustment
Whether you prefer a larger size seat like our motorcycle style or a more simple round variation, the most important aspect of a drum throne beyond gauging its foam comfort thickness, locking mechanisms and overall stability is whether the height adjustment is tall enough to match your particular playing style.
Rest assured, Gibraltar Hardware treats you like royalty when it comes to drum thrones.
Nice thrones! They are similar to the ones on the Retro ’57 Chevy kit Gretsch sells right?
