Millenium DTRAB-1118 Drum Stool pneumat 4-stars Reviews

Good value for money

Work great as a stool for my FOH mix position

Good design and quality materials. Poor construction quality.

Good design and quality materials. Poor construction quality.

The first time that I sat on my stool five of the eight screws that fix the hardware to the bottom of the seat pad either came loose or just fell out completely. One of the screw heads had been striped making it difficult to put back. The four larger screws should attach to metal threaded t-nuts on the inside of the seat base but two of the t-nuts on mine were loose.

I left the screws in the t-nut and pulled them while screwing them in to get them tightened. If the t-nuts had got lost on the inside of the seat, which was a risk, then I might have had to resort to something like a piranha molly fixing. I also replaced two of the smaller screws with slightly longer thicker screws.

The result after repair is a really good seat for the price. The only remaining minor annoyance is that the base of the gas lift wobbles slightly in the centre of the clamp at the bottom of the legs but there's still a lot less wobble than with the seat I'm upgrading from.

Very comfy

Well thought out throne with a drummer in mind, it seems.

The interface between the chair and the shaft of the base is dovetailed, unlike the mapex models in that price range.

The mapex chairs without the dove tail will eventually start to rock back and forth. That is just the design of the thing. Built in obsolescence to get you to buy more products.. While you can hold this rocking back and forth off on the cheaper mapex thrones by always checking tension of the screws that interface the seat and the shaft, you are only delaying this. I am only comparign this to the lower mapex chairs in the 50 to 80 pound sterling range. The cheaper ones with the spinning spindle. That interface is designed to eventually drive you mad. Spend a bit more on a chair or get this thing.

This is a really comfortable throne with a back rest for what you are paying. The motorcycle seat is not big and huge like the mapex models ( i have both a round and motorcycle mapex throne - i did that to get a feel of what is good. I opted for a motocycle style throne with a back rest).

I have a 34 inch waiste and this thing fits me fine with a bit of room to spare. "Big guys" may get different milage. If you are a "big guy", like an aaron spears big kinda guy, then this is not the chair for you. The sitting surface is not wide enough for bigger guys. In that case the better quality mapex thrones with their huge motorcycle seat might be better.

Dont be fooled by the price. This thing hits well above its price as many have mentioned.

If you are below 5 feet 6 inches then you will probably not get much use out of this. The lifting shaft bottoms out for shorter players. I am 5 feet 9 and i am almost at the bottom already with 2 or 3 inches to spare. Meaning i dont get much use out of the lift. I do get to use it but i am very close to the bottom. I play with legs nearly parallel to the ground. Just a slight downward slope.

Overall i am really happy with what i got. Really happy.

The quality/price ratio is now leading me to explore other millenium products. I was doubtful at first but not any more. If their other products are like this in terms of quality and what you get for your money then i will most likely will splat down on other things.

If i can come back and do a long term use edit then i will.

Good value for the money

Good chair but it's not made for touring.

Leave it at home or in the studio.

Nagyon jó minőség, szuper stabil, kényelmes, de az összeszerelés kicsit komplikált!

Comfortable drum stool

The price was good, the quality was good, the comfort was good. I was able to sit on this stool for hours with no issues (I've since sold my drum kit and I included this in the sale). It was also a handy, comfortable stool for any other musicians that were in my studio.

I did, however, remove the back rest as I found it got in the way more than anything.

If I was to take up drumming again, I'd buy this stool again.

Nice look and feel

I bought this for home use for keyboard and electronic kit.

This is the first hydraulic stool ive owned and the first with a back so i have nothing to compare. However, once i managed to fit it together, it seems pretty good for the price.

The fitting, i found, was difficult as i had no instructions in the packing. I struggled to work out how the back fitted and also did realise i had to remove the red plastic thing from the hydraulic button.

Once its up, it seems comfy but to be honest i probably wouldnt want to be gigging for hours on it but thats not why i purchased it.

great for the money but if you want the best and use a lot highly recommend the DW 9120AL with backrest but I am a bit on the older spectrum!!

It does what it was made for

It does the job very well.

It is a simple drum throne with a pneumatic adjustment, and the price, you can't go wrong with this one.

The back rest feels nice, it rotates 360, the height adjustment is super easy and the seat is also good.

The only problem is stability... if you lean back, you may find that it is not very stable.

The trick is to put one of it's feet right behind your back, so that you always have a "brake" when you lean against the back rest.

All in all, can't go wrong with this one for the price.

Great value but could be higher quality

chair is great value for money but quality of back rest and fittings could be higher quality, this is however reflected in the price in comparison to its competitors.

Great throne for the price

The throne is great for its price. Its very comfortable and the back support is a great add-on when you need to rest your back during track and breaks.

At first it's just tricky to put together, but once you manage to get the idea it's very easy to put together.

I only gave it 4 stars as I hope it would a get a little bit higher

Good

The 3 legs are the main drawback as it is not as stable as necessary in some cases . That said it is very comfortable

value for money

I found this throne very comfortable, easy to setup and stable. The only bad thing is that the seat is turning but you can't avoid that on pneumatic chairs.

Super functional, you pay for what you get.

It is a pretty cool chair and definitely the best you'll get in this price range with a hydraulic lifter. It's not as comfortable as it could be but it does the job.

Good throne with backrest

Nice to lean back now and again and give the old back a rest !

Tend to get a bit of a numb backside after a couple of hours, but all in all a comfortable pneumatic saddle type throne which personally I find more comfortable than the traditional round stools.

Good but little too low for higher drummers

Overall it's a good throne, quite comfortable and stable, but a little too low for a higher (more than 180 cm) drummer.

You can't go wrong for this price.

great chair for the prize

I am generally pleased with this purchase. It is comfy enough for the price - however I would not mind it a bit softer. Note that this item needs some basic assembling and this was not that easy as there was no instruction etc included. Support disappointed me a bit. Once you know how all parts go together it does look ridiculously easy now. I don't need to transport it very often but for some people it may be a plus that parts are removable and it is not very heavy.

Heavy Duty and convenient - at a cost

This thing is great for on the gig- quick adjustments. It's also really heavy duty and well constructed.

The back rest seemed a little bit on the cheap side but I removed this right away as I didn't want it.

However the convenience of quick adjust-ability comes at the detriment of stability. While it's quite stable on the floor the stool swivels. I didn't think it was a problem at first, but then when I use a normal stool I find having the rotation fixed gives me much more stability.

The majority of drummers may not care about the swivel though, and if this is you, then I'd highly recommend. Also it's very cheap for what you get.

Best value for a pneumatic throne

I bought this chair after using thrones from Mapex and Gibraltar priced around 150 EUR. This one is comparable or even better for much lower price. The seat is comfortable, not too soft and not too hard. Pneumatic height adjustment is great and fast, metal parts feel solid and sturdy - this is really a heavy throne for the price. The only minus I found is that there stays a few oil on the bar holding the seat when using the pneumatic adjustment. This might get your hands or car dirty when transporting the throne, so I use a paper towel to clean the bar if I need to use the chair fully down and then up. But generally, I recommend this chair as a best value for the money.

Very Solid and Comfortable

I bought this for my wife to play the guitar upon. It was fast to assemble, VERY solid to sit in, and she finds it very comfortable.
