Find Your Perfect Drum Throne at Sweetwater


If you thought drum thrones were just fancy stools for drumming, then guess again. The modern drum throne is the result of a century of the collective drumming unconscious asking, “How can I play better, for longer?”


A proper drum throne allows drummers to remain firmly planted on the ground while permitting 360-degree access to far-off toms, cymbals, cowbells, and more. The swivel design reduces strain on the back, while the padded seat increases comfort and playtime.


Then, you have a gigging requirement met by the drum throne: a design that stands up to nightly abuse and breaks down compactly to fit in a hardware bag. Factor in player conveniences such as gas shocks and incremental height adjustment, and the drum throne stands as one of the great innovations of the drum set era.


Are you shopping for the perfect drum throne to complement your personal tastes and playing style? You’ll find the ideal throne for you here at Sweetwater.


Drum Throne FAQs


What is a drum throne?


A drum throne is most commonly a tripod-based seat used by drummers behind the drum set. While a drum throne may resemble a stool, it’s far more advanced. A drum throne is made to be planted firmly on the ground (hence the tripod design) and rotated so that drummers can reach side-mounted toms, cymbals, and percussion instruments without straining their backs.


Drum thrones are so effective in delivering comfort, stability, and freedom of motion that they’ve also been adopted by keyboardists and studio musicians who want a quiet, comfortable seat to perform from.


Which style of drum throne is best for me?


Since every drummer is different, there’s no one-size-fits-best approach to drum thrones. Some players prefer the comfort of a classic round seat, while others prefer the leg mobility of a motorcycle/saddle seat. One drummer may enjoy the lock-and-rock freedom of a spindle throne, while another player opts for the setup speed of a gas-powered hydraulic throne.


The options go even deeper when you consider add-ons like backrests and fabric-topped seats. Sweetwater’s advice? Sit on as many thrones as you can before making your decision — or contact our knowledgeable Sales Engineers for a custom recommendation!


Do drum thrones make a difference?


At Sweetwater, you'll encounter stories from hundreds of drummers, keyboardists, guitarists, and producers whose quality of life was improved by investing in a quality drum throne. Here are just a few ways a premium drum throne can make a difference:


  • Lumbar support to keep you pain-free onstage
  • Plush padding to give you extra takes in the studio
  • Enhanced ergonomics to help you comfortably reach all your kit tools
  • Convenience to lock you in your sweet spot
  • Durability to give you peace of mind on the road

Obviously, every player is different, and your mileage may vary. But if you've never experienced the difference a quality drum throne can make in your drumming and performance life, you could be selling yourself short. Contact the pros at Sweetwater for recommendations on a throne that can give you the edge onstage, in the studio, or behind the desk.
