D-790 Drum Throne : Good throne for its prize

This throne is stable and sturdy. The lock holds it in place. There is a memory lock for how much you want the legs to be spread, which is nice. The seat doesn't spin which is a big plus, considering there are drum thrones with much worse seat locks.

BUT - if you are a big guy, I would suggest buying a throne with wider seat. I am about 175cm/60 kg and when I play with a double pedal in high tempos, I feel a bit unstable.

It is light and easy to carry/store. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to buy your first drum throne and you are on a tight budget. I would NOT invest in any smaller throne though. In my experience, anything smaller than this won't do you good if you are anywhere after a super-beginner player.

It would be ideal for your kids/students if you are school teacher.

I am happy with my choice of buying it, especially given how much it cost, but I next time, I will invest a bit more and get a more stable throne.
