Are they expensive?

Depends on what model, the cheapest I've ever seen one is $120, and that was the plain motercycle-style with no backrest.

I [I]had[/I] a decent throne that came with my Pearl Export set. Been using it for four years, and today I was working through the rudiments with my feet when the throne snapped clean in half (me being a lightweight 250LB highschool linebacker and all :D ). Slammed the back of my head into the wall and it hurt like hell, so I'm plannin on buying the most burly bad-*** incredible hulk of a throne ever seen before to ensure it never happens again. Any suggestions? I was kinda lookin at the Nitro from Roc-N-Soc...

well, I have been playing extensively on the Roc-n-Soc and Pork Pie thrones alot recently. I will admit, the Pork Pie is better than the RnS in my opinion. The Pork Pie seems to breathe better than the RnS. I played a 5 hour show on my RnS a few nights ago and it sweat me to death. The back rest was really nice, I found myself all leaned back playin in the pocket.

The seat part of the Pork Pie is more comfortable as well. I like to tighten my throne down so the throne doesnt move. The RnS kept coming loose about every 5 minutes. All the pros go to the Pork Pie, the only thing I like about the RnS is the back rest.

and are you sure that the pork pie doesnt stain. How much does your butt sweat ken?

yes i know i'm bumping an older thread. but it keeps me from making a new one.. could you wonderful people suggest me a throne that'll properly support my back (as you know my back sucks) and that is nice and sturdy and sits on that soft/supporting line for cushioning; i dont want a bean bag and a dont want a pallet jacked up on bricks. lol, anyway. what you think [I]seatmen[/I]?

christ dude major bumpage. try the roc-n-soc. i too have a bad back so i need soemthing soft to sit on. right now im using a pdp800 which was better than my old crappy throne with no cushion whatsoever. Ive sat on a PDP 900 and those things are basically just like the pork pie thrones but $20 cheaper.

I haven't ever seen a roc-n-soc or porkpie in australia sadly. i was thinking the DW 9000 airlift one.. what you reckon?

Ive actually sat on the airlift a while back at GC. its ok it has about the same cushion as a pdp800 though. it basically just lifts easier and is a bit sturdier. if you can though try out that pdp 900 they are rather comfy. its about $100

...Aside from the cushion is like 14" or something like that. I find it to be very comfortable, firm, yet still soft and comfortable. It's about as sturdy as they come too, Air Life has 4 legs, regular 9100M has 3. I'm getting a 9100M, they cost $185 CND and tax.

so i'm looking at about $400AU for a good seat.. woot! thanks for the advice guys. this thread may now slip into obscurity once again.. again... again....

I need a new throne that can seat you pretty high, because my mapex one just doesnt get up high enough. Any suggestions?

It is a was of money. You can not take the top (seat) off the stand once it has been put on.

And why would you want a airlift stool anyway? Surely you would rather have a stool where you can set the hight to a given setting.

I was dbj'ed last week [URL="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/dookiedude3005/Instruments/asda003.jpg"]Pwned by my own throne[/URL]

After all the christmas shopping is done i'm hooking myself up with a pork pie:thumb:

^^^^ Dam man, glad ya didn't get hurt on that. You'll love the Pork Pie, they are killer!

Look at the Pork Pies, I have the Roc-n-Soc as well and the Pork Pie is MUCH better, alot more comfortable.

If I could sell my Roc-n-Soc and not lose a ton of money on it I would buy a 2nd Pork Pie.

The only thing that bothers me with the air-lift is that it is not easily portable. Its basically a one piece design (not to mention gas-shock issues after a year or two). I would have gotten one, it is VERY comfortable, but I found solace in knowing I can tear down the regular 9100 with no effort at all. The seat is plenty comfortable!

Grab a 9100 and try it out. WAY more comfortable than the 5100. Bargain a deal for $110 and call it yours! Then again the Pork Pie are VERY nice too. I didn't care for the RnS, the one I demo-ed could not be taken apart.

I heard something about new models of Pork Pies being not as comfortable as the older ones.
Any truth to that? All I know is that if I ever get one, I'll take it everywhere, as they are comfortable as...something really damn comfortable.

Man, you've become such a Big Dog whore. Oh well, you're barely worse than me with As :lol:.

But once again... DW 9100M is where it's at.

I like whores



DW AIRLIFT!

Anyone here still use a BarkerLounger.. you know.. drum in TOTAL comfort :D

Ive got a cheap $20 Dixon throne. It came with my Dixon kit about 4 years ago or something. The seat wood has snapped, and my brother rebuilt it and sewed it back up. Its comfy enough, but i wouldnt mind a new one.

atm i am using a chair with cushions on it :S
I am getting a throne for xmas and $300AUS would be the max, any suggestions

DW9100M...

Anyway, I'm still using a basic Sonor one, I can feel it giving way on me, so I can't imagine you guys with your even cheaper ones :lol:.

[QUOTE=Double Bass Jim]Whatever you do stay away from cheaper pearl thrones :lol: Trust me I learned the hard way.[/QUOTE]

I think i've heard that story at leasy 7 times :lol:

I'm hoping to get a pork pie soon. Ever since I sat on one at L&M about three months ago I have vowed to get one ever since. Hopefully I can get one with money I get from chirstmas, and not take to much money away from my new set fund.
