Ludwig LAC48TH Atlas Classic Saddle

Only had it for about half a year, but it has been used extensively by three heavy-handed (and -bottomed) drummers, all weighing between 95 and 115 kg. In addition, it regularly receives quite a bit of abuse from my nearly two years old son, who loves to play the drum set.

I'm very satisfied with the quality of this drum throne. Height adjustments are relatively easily done, the locking spindle keeps it very secure, and the throne is very sturdy. In addition, the padding feels just right, not too hard nor too soft. The stiching is holding up very well so far.

It is rather expensive for what it is, but I cashed out to have a throne that looked nice with my Ludwig drum set. I guess a lot of the price relates to the high quality (on par with Atlas Standard hardware), but perhaps a little with the brand name as well.
