I started a poll that will maybe help with the backrest/no backrest decision. Once you have that decision made you can narrow down your choices a bit.

The poll is HERE

Oh, and for what it is worth I was incorrect in saying I have a BASIX throne in my earlier message. My throne is actually a DIXON. My mistake, sorry. I have corrected the original message.

Did any one see In a Modern drummer maybe last year or umm idk

this great throne/rack - it was amazing, i've had a look for it on the net with no luck

its was great - you were fully reclining, lying back in totally comfort - you could sleep! - and ALL the [url=http://www.drumandbass.org]drums[/url] were also mounted on this huge throne but positioning so well - they were all right at your finger tips!

anyone remember this? or have i had WAY to much paint today?

I thought that was just called 'the frame', but when I did a web search I didn't get any results. Some top drummers were endorsing it though, but it seems to have died out.

yes, Tony Royster Jr actually endorses/ endorsed the Drum Frame. there was a thread about it on Pearl a while back, if someone wants to have a look. i think the title was something like "Double Bass kits on Drum Frame" but i cant remember for sure.

The drumnframe put huge ammounts of stress on your bass drum and it felt like you were about to lift off.

yeah, I dont like the frame for that reason, the bass drum cannot be "Virgin" and has lots of stress. not good for big bass [url=http://www.drumandbass.org]drums[/url].

Thrones... most important part of the kit. Spend the bucks and get yourself a good one. Pros are less chance of back pain and better balance when sitting to get the legs working. Also takes away mind games with " the seats going to collapse any minute now" .
I use a Heavy Duty Tama motorcycle seat one.

If a god is watching over us, then the least we can do is be entertaining.

I agree mouse. the second most importanat thing in a drumkit, is the throne. the most important is yourself. Seriously, a good throne can improve your drumming audibly.

A personal fear of mine when playing on a crappy throne is that the bar that supports it is going to break through the seat and... paaaaain

So yeah, good thrones all the way.

I have seen a center pole go through the seat of a throne with the drummer sitting on it. Lucky he wasnt injured.

I other news, they had a chiro at the drum fest today, doing tests on thrones to see which was best for your back. You can guess which one he chose.
