The Throne Thread
 

Ok, alot of talk to there so I thought I would kick it off.

I have owned a Pork Pie throne for quite a while. It is GREAT. Very comfortable and the throne is about 2 years old and still looks BRAND new. I recently purchased a Roc-n-Soc throne and I think I may like it better than the Pork Pie. I bought the Spindle RnS as I am worried that the Nitro thrones piston will break eventually.

I ordered the optional back rest with the RnS and I must say I am very pleased with it. It is heavy duty, well made, and very comfortable with heavy duty hardware. The back rest is very adjustable as well. I think I am realllllly going to like the back rest.

The RnS is very comfortable and the material and construction of the throne seems to be very well made. The color of the throne (blue) and back rest match perfectly. The RnS has a dual latch mechanism to assure that the throne doesn't move when you set it to the height you want.

I have use the Gibraltar thrones in the past and don't like them. The metal piece that attaches the throne to the double braced pedestal is actually 2 seperate peices. Mine broke in the middle of a show one night and sent me tumbling backwards. Luckily I landed against a wall and it broke on this show and not the night before. The night before I was playing on a large stage and if I would have fallen there I would have fell about 25 feet onto concrete.

Long story short, when you buy a throne look at this transistion peice. Make sure it isnt a 2 part upright.

So, here it is! Lets discuss thrones!

Gotta Keep The Ol' A[B]S[/B]S Happy Eh Ken?!

Nice post man, this has needed done for a while. One point I would like to point out is people need to invest into a good throne, the more comfortable you are the more you will be able to concentrate and the longer you will be able to play. I would seriously suggest people planning on spending 100 to 200 bucks on a throne.

When the *** is happy everything else is happy! Guys only scroll down. I have a crude comment to make about the male anatomy, if your female just ignore the bottom part of my post as I don't want to offend anyone.
























We talk about my Pork Pie having a ball shelf. If you look at the way they are designed there is a rise in the front of the seat and guess what sits on it hahahahaha.

lmfao!
If i could rep you i would!

I bet you 5$ that this thread will turn into something about your friends or something.. knowing how screwed up alot of the kids on the D&P are...... :/

My friend AND my school both have Gibraltar thrones.

I'm looking into a RnS Nitro throne.

Be sure to check those parts I mentioned. They are made of 2 seperate pieces of metal, kind of like circular tongue and groove. It is a very bad design in my opinion. Call Andy at Massmusic for the throne, he will cut ya a deal.

I have a regular tama throne, I really don't mind. I figure if it has padding its comfortable enough for me.

I never said I liked them, and yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. But...you had to be sitting pretty high for that to happen (the fall). Unless it just snapped?

Where/What is MassMusic? Never heard of it.

how good of a deal can this andy get me because this sabian vault tour is coming that ive been saving for for a while. I have a cb throne and it has the design that you are describing. I have been slouching a lot lately on the throne and my back is really killing me, i might have to get a new throne.

I was wrong ken!

I still have this crap Westbury one I got with my first kit!

It's so horrible, the way you adjust the height is by putting a screw through one of the few terribly spaced out holes on the tube (which offer the worst heights you could ever want, very little choice too) and then having it rest out the sides of the tube to stop it from sliding all the way down. The design is so crappy, the top of the throne isn't even close to a snug fit, so it wobbles, the leather smells like grease, the leg brackets are weak as hell and to top it all off the cushyness is next to nothing.

I'm definately in the market for a new throne.

If your back is killing you look at the Roc-n-Soc with the backrest, it should help ya alot. Andy will cut you a good deal, he is usually always cheaper than most internet businesses.

[url]http://www.massmusic.net[/url] go there and look. They have an 1-800 number. When you call ask for Andy, tell him Ken sent ya and he will take care of ya.

The throne just snapped in half, the 2 pieces came loose from each other. Its a bad design.

I forgot to mention that when you actually try to adjust the height of the throne, theres a rediculous ammount of grease and oil on the nut and screw, why? I don't know! Why would you need grease there? So I always end up getting it all over my hands and then I have to wash them.

God, I still have this old stool for a throne.. I really, REALLY want to get a nice RnS, but I also need to pay off the DWs.

haha that looks very uncomfortable. It definiatly does not go with that kit!

Ugh.. I have a dixon one.. cost me 30$.. WORST THING EVER

Basically threw a piece of pleather over a piece of wood and called it a throne:/

ken - Whenever i see porkpies they are always really blackened or covered with towels, do you not sweat or something or do they really last.

I've just got a Pacific throne, I got ripped off though... I paid $60 and a month later saw it for $30. It works.

hmmm well, I do sweat, and on occasion it gets kinda smelly. When you play multiple shows night after night, load it up in an aluminum trailer and it sits in there all day then played on again the next night they do get stinky. I spray mine down with Fantastic, scrub it, then spray it with Febreze and let it dry.

I am currently on a Pearl Roadster throne, which I like. Its adjustable to wherever I want, stable, and fairly comfortable(Padded well, bycicle style, and has little holes to make it get less hot). But, eventually I am thinking about getting a rocandsoc with backrest, because they are just awesome.

I just recently got a DW 5140 throne. Very comfortable, and wayy stable. Great throne for the money.

whats up with the first chair thing that tama has, and are those good thrones?

[QUOTE=faith+1]whats up with the first chair thing that tama has, and are those good thrones?[/QUOTE]

yeah, mine is great, super comfortable, way better than the Roc N Soc I tried out.

Whatever you do stay away from cheaper pearl thrones :lol: Trust me I learned the hard way.

Yeah ^^ What happened to you Jim sounds badas$, that suck.

I have a crappy Mapex one and it sh!ts me up the wall, i really should invest in a new one soon. Maybe one of those DW that u can make the seat squishier with AIR!! Or a Pearl with a suspension on it, they are really comfy:D
