Description

TAMA Drum Thrones

What determines the first impression of a drum throne is the hardness of the seat. In the moment a drummer sits down on the throne, he/she understands whether it’s a suitable fit or not. The final decision is very simple, but it depends on many complicated factors. After detailed investigations into shape, material, stretch of cloth, and method of sewing, we release the new Glide Rider drum throne—it’s an ideal balance between softness and hardness we hadn’t tried before this. The Glide Rider is available as a HYDRAULIX model (HT550BCN) and as a tripod-base model (HT530BCN). 

  • Model No. – HT550BCN
  • Model Name – 1st Chair Glide Rider HYDRAULIX “Cloth Top”
  • Details – Weight: 5.9kg (13lbs) Height Adjustment Range: 470mm – 650mm (18 1/2″ – 24 5/8″) 

This is a great design that utilizes two-piece locking hinge collar system for superior throne base to seat connection and oversized wing nut for easy and secure tightening. TAMA removed the “wobble” which can typically affect the seat to throne base connection. 1st Chair HYDRAULIX thrones allow effortless height adjustment simply by activating a lever. And because HYDRAULIX features a seat that can be removed from the base, this innovative throne offers the most easy-to-store and transport design in the market. By lowering the distance of the center throne pipe to the floor, a lower center of gravity was achieved. Additional stability improved by lengthening the tripod leg stabilizer bar and designing double-braced tripod legs that do not taper at the point they insert into the rubber feet. The extra-large rubber feet are 1.5 times larger than previous TAMA rubber feet to optimize stability. It’s tough to imagine just how much weight and stress is on the rubber feet of your stand-until you see how often you have to keep replacing them. Not so with Foot Life. An innovative plastic leg attachment, Foot Life eliminates the wear and tear of metal to metal contact for longer foot life.

Drum Thrones

Drum thrones are a vital but often overlooked part of a drum kit, directly affecting comfort, posture, and long-term playing health. A well-designed throne provides stable support, allowing drummers to maintain balance and proper technique during practice, rehearsals, and long performances.

Drum thrones come in different seat shapes, padding styles, and height adjustment systems to suit individual preference. Round and saddle-style seats offer different support characteristics, while features such as memory foam, hydraulic adjustment, and backrests can improve comfort during extended playing sessions. Stability and solid construction are especially important, as the throne forms the foundation of the entire setup.

Choosing the right drum throne helps reduce fatigue and strain on the back and legs, making it easier to play with control and consistency. For drummers of any level, investing in a supportive, reliable throne can make a noticeable difference to both performance and physical wellbeing.
