Extremely Comfortable Throne for Serious Players

The Tama HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest drum throne delivers ergonomic comfort and support. Finding a balance between the comfort of a round seat and the playability of a saddle-style seat, the HT741's front cutaway allows for unimpeded thigh movement - even during rapid double bass patterns. What's more, two patented seat indentations and an upper insert of soft foam encourage the right drumming posture. As for the base, there's a stable 4-leg tetrapod - and the backrest is height adjustable and tiltable, so you can comfortably adjust your Tama HT742 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest.

Tama HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest Drum Throne at a Glance:
  • Ergo-Rider seat is both ergonomic and comfortable
  • Sit Tight, Rocklok, and Quartet base ensure wobble-free playing
  • Adjustable back rest folds down for easy transportation

Ergo-Rider seat is both ergonomic and comfortable
In designing the HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest drum throne, Tama wanted to strike the perfect balance between extremely ergonomic playing comfort while also making sure the throne didn't get in the way of serious playing. In the end, they developed the Ergo-Rider - a hybrid of a round seat and and a saddle seat. Its front cutaway allows for unimpeded thigh movement, even during rapid double bass patterns. The seat also features two gentle indentations and a 20mm upper foam insert, which encourages the right playing posture.

Sit Tight, Rocklok, and Quartet base ensure wobble-free playing
Wobbling drum thrones are just plain frustrating - that's why Tama put three different designs into place to squelch potential wobbling before it ever affects your playing. To start, the HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest drum throne features a "Sit Tight" seat clamp, which securely grips the throne's upper rod with a durable die-cast aluminum clamp. Then, Tama added their specially designed "Rocklok" nylon bushing at the bottom of the throne's threaded rod - this helps to prevent side-to-side motion within the base. And, finally, the base of the HT741 is Tama's Quartet 4-leg model, delivering rock-solid stability during intense playing.

Adjustable back rest folds down for easy transportation
The HT741's comfortable backrest is both height adjustable and tiltable - so you can enjoy the support you need, no matter you prefer to sit. Plus, the backrest can fold down onto the seat itself, without requiring any disassembly, making it compact and easy to travel with.

Tama HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest Drum Throne Features:
  • 4-leg drum throne with tiltable, adjustable back rest
  • Ergo-Rider seat is a hybrid of a round throne and a saddle throne
  • Seat encourages comfort and ergonomic playing, without impeding playing
  • Sit Tight, Rock Lok, and 4-leg base allow for wobble-free playing
  • Backrest can fold down onto the seat, making it compact and easy to transport
  • Adjustable height range: 19-3/4" - 28"

Tama's HT741 Ergo-Rider Quartet with Backrest is an extremely comfortable, no-wobble drum throne!

feels great to the back, very comfortable with the feeling of security underneath me with no chance of tipping over.

Excellent product, I love the leather and firm but comfortable cushion. I play professionally and often play 5-8 hrs per day. Now, with a backrest, I can save my posture.

Can't say enough good about the design of the back rest (does not get on the way like some others)and the solid density of the seat. I have it down low and forward in the small of my back.

Awesome Piece of Furniture

Music Background: Student
Would've received all stars, but I need it just a little lower. But I suppose that's not the chair's fault that I'm 5.4! Let's face it - I am a 272 pound female who needed a large stool to use for ... read more [+]practice sessions and this one seemed to fit the bill. I purchased it from Sweetwater and could tell it was going to be a winner right out of the box. Sturdy construction, pricy look (for my living room/studio) and it really does help you sit up straight. I just had to tighten the take down screw, which is done by hand with a large knob under the chair, after having it over a month or two and giving it plenty of use. I seem to rock it back an forth quite a bit because it is a little tall for me, but I didn't see any others that came shorter and no one else should have this problem. Just noting it because aside from that I don't think it would have even needed any adjustments, speaking of which, the backrest is awesome! You can put it in just that right spot, up or down, front or back and it stays put! I have mine pretty high compared to the pic. Go for it. Always worth getting something of value that will last and add to your home decor! close [-]
