"Works for me"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It works for me . I read where someone said the seat does not rotate. Mine does. Not much padding, but I'm a light wait, 165 pounds. If your a big drummer this throne won't be comfortable. But overall I'm happy.

Musical Background:

I've played drums for 45 years.

Musical Style:

I play mostly classic rock. But enjoying playing blues and big band as well.

I am contemplating a return before my the return period runs out. It is quite uncomfortable after an hour or so.

Features
It is a cheap drum throne. You adjust the stem for height, period. The seat does not rotate, which I wish I had thought to check before I bought it. The seat itself is pretty small, I'd appreciate about 2 more inches in radius.
Ease of Use
Easy to set up and it works.
Quality
So far so good. No creaks or groaning under my weight (220 lbs). Double braced legs seem well built.
Value
It is a decent throne, but I wish I had spent a little extra money on one that has a better seat.

The Wow Factor
This is not the flashiest of thrones and looks as cheap as it costs.

Sound
I am not actually a drummer, I purchased the alesis dm6 usb electronic drums so that i could play my own drum parts without having to use vsts or drum machines. Quite naturally a good seat would be required, I am pleased with my choice...the cannon percussion up197 drum throne. It is a solid seat, the cushion is firm yet comfortable..I highly recommend this drum throne.

"Decent for the money"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I picked this up about a year ago to go with my first drum kit. It seemed reasonably comfortable for the duration of its life. I would say I used it for an average of 5 hours a week, and it died in its 15th month yesterday.
Quality
The screws in the bottom of the seat became loose, and the plate underneath the cushion is cracked in several places. I weigh about 175 pounds, so this is not a matter of my dietary habits.
Value
This is still a pretty good buy. It lasted me a year. It's obnoxious to have to get another throne now, but I would consider getting another one of these.

"Does the job."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Nice and sturdy. Adjustable in 2 different ways. But height adjustment involves removing and reattaching a bolt. Granted, it is a wing nut so no tools are needed but what a pain if you share a throne with one of your kids like I do. I will be buying a different throne soon to address that.

Played clarinet in middle and high school, now trying to learn drums.

It came fast and packed really well from ZZ, this is agreat throne for the money - bummer its not a swivel but after three hours it gets alittle loose -yet it doesnt break loose. about two hours on the throne your ready for a stretch.Hardware is durable and has a nice finish - If you know of a lightweight drummer who likes to work hard here ya go- and height is just right.

"Pearl Traveler's Drum Kit"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Delivery was cheap and fast ... mainly because I live in the same state as the warehouse. I researched and decided I wanted the Pearl Traveler's Drum Kit because it was complete with excellent hardware ... I totally agree. I changed the high hat cymbals for better tone and put a pillow in the kick drum. I think the head with the kit are just fine. It went together fine. Sounds great ... I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drums all day!

Musical Background:

I play piano, guitar, and electric bass ... I play bass in an all girl band.

Musical Style:

My band plays folk, classic and contemporary rock and punk. I also play classical piano.

"Not for a grown man."

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
After just under one month of use, (an estimated 2-3 hours a day, give or take) this throne has rendered itself stuck. The bolt that holds it in place in terms of height has warped the metal through which it rests, thus negating any ability for height adjustment that this throne is intended to have. The cushion itself (which shows no signs of wear) is relatively comfortable for up to and slightly beyond two hours of use, but for a 6'5" 185lb musician just finding his way into the world of percussion, this is incredibly disappointing. You get what you pay for. No effort has been made to reach out to the manufacturer given that this is obviously not a defect, simply the quality of materials.

I purchased 2 of them, as I wanted to create an easy, set up for me, and my husband to nestle in together to play together, they are great, quality hardwear, easy fold down, set up, and light enough, and compact enough to carry on the beach. The seats, are a little cheap feealing, like the fabric isn't gonna last long, but the hardware quality is so good that, it will be easy, and maybe fun to recover when they wear. Definitely would buy or recommended again. Thanks ZZ
