Gibraltar 9608HM Drum Throne Hydraulic 3-stars Reviews

Let's start off with the basic construction and quality of the throne in question. As with anything produced by Gibraltar, the construction is excellent and definitely on par with other brands and higher level thrones.

The seat, is very comfortable and ergonomically designed which in practical terms translates into feeling comfortable throughout longer rehearsals or live sets!

Cons: I would say the biggest flaw is down to the height adjustment lever mechanism underneath the seat. I would say this is not down to the actual quality of the drum throne itself but more of a design defect.

This means it tends to be very easy to bump the adjustment lever with your leg while playing, therefore causing the height to immediately drop! Definitely not the best situation to be faced with during a live gig!

Pros: Seat comfort, sturdy design, and last but not least - the price is certainly a BIG plus!

The only thing that stops this product getting 5 stars in all departments, is the poor design of the height adjustment lever connection the frame upright. The height adjustment lever falls out after a few months. Whilst easy enough to put back in, it is tricky enough to fool the unsuspecting user.
