Gibraltar 9608MB Drum Throne

This trooper of a chair has been carrying the weight of my fat arse (which is getting fatter as the years go on) for 6 years on my home kit. I bought this throne as I had damaged nerves in my neck and my cheap starter throne was exacerbating this problem.

Well, as well as reversing my back and neck pain, playing drums actually became therapeutic for it when I ordered this chair. I sit down, play, and the back rest cushions my lumbers and after a 20-30 minute session (with stretches before hand) my back feels like I've just completed Yoga! Amazing!
A slight drawback is lack of adjustability of the rest on the throne, wish it could come a tiny bit more forward, but that's only a minor complaint. Also it is quite heavy so it doesn't really suit to be transporting to gigs in your mums hatchback, other than that I'm very happy with the 9608MB!

I purchased this drum throne in May of 2020, to compliment a drum set that a relation of mine had recieved as a present. He got the drum kit but didn't get a throne to go with it. As any drummer will tell you, not having the correct seat will make long band sessions/gigs very uncomfortable.
I chose this drum throne as it has a back support which is crucial,when you consider what a physically demanding job that the drummer does. Drummers need good tools just like any good tradesperson. Gibraltar has a fine reputation for manufacturing top notch and reasonably affordable drum accessories.
I had reason recently to borrow this throne to do a session for a friend and I enjoyed being behind the kit again and finishing the session without any back pain or strain. I Highly highly recommend this model. Gibraltar never dissappoints.
