Pearl quality for the best price
When it comes to bringing out the best of You on drums, one the main things is to feel free and comfortable while playing, and a drum throne certainly plays an essential part to that. To me, a stable drum throne is as important as sticks and pedals.
I bought this one because of the price and the reliable Pearl quality. Been using it for almost a year now for rehearsals and I always bring it along to the shows as it is quite light compared to other drum thrones and easy to set up.
While playing, it stays stable and doesn't jiggle around which is the main the thing You should be looking for in a drum stool.
A minus is that it takes a memory lock to fix it at a certain height (it comes with the throne). Without it, the throne tends to drop height. And even with having it screwed as tight as possible, it slowly lowers over time.
The throne is perfect if You are light or medium weight like me (75 kilos). For bigger guys, I'd suggest looking for a larger stool as the seat itself is quite small.
Overall +/-:
+ definitely the price, drum thrones tend to be really expensive while this is not;
+ it functions exactly as it should - really stable for its size;
+ the seat feels comfortable;
+ Pearl quality and longevity;
- the lock system takes some time to fix at the height You need;
- small seat.
If You are looking for Your first drum throne, this is the perfect choice!

Solid and good adjustability
I'm a beginner drummer but wanted to replace my cheap stool as it seemed to rotate quite easily and was creaking as it did so, which was a nightmare for recording.
This stool (I struggle with the term throne, being opposed to the concept of monarchy) is very solid by comparison, doesn't move in use, makes no noise and also has a much better height range, which has allowed me improve my drumming position. In fact it goes much higher than I need, and would probably work as a small bar stool.
It seems perfectly comfortable but I'm not particularly heavy and spend at least an hour a day on a cheap bike saddle so I don't have very high standards there.

Good throne for its prize
This throne is stable and sturdy. The lock holds it in place. There is a memory lock for how much you want the legs to be spread, which is nice. The seat doesn't spin which is a big plus, considering there are drum thrones with much worse seat locks.
BUT - if you are a big guy, I would suggest buying a throne with wider seat. I am about 175cm/60 kg and when I play with a double pedal in high tempos, I feel a bit unstable.
It is light and easy to carry/store. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to buy your first drum throne and you are on a tight budget. I would NOT invest in any smaller throne though. In my experience, anything smaller than this won't do you good if you are anywhere after a super-beginner player.
It would be ideal for your kids/students if you are school teacher.
I am happy with my choice of buying it, especially given how much it cost, but I next time, I will invest a bit more and get a more stable throne.

A good one
Classic Pearl quality, the double-braced legs makes it very rigid. The seat material works well during long, sweaty drum sessions. The rubber in the feet seems to be good, avoiding the rubber to break and the metal digging into the floor.
Very reasonably priced, good buy.

Cant beat it for the price
For the money this throne cost it is a bargain. Light, stable, folds to a compact size, and doesn't slip lower and lower while playing. For reference I weigh about 75kg. I couldn't ask for more really.

Very good for this price
Can?t complain about this item, it does it?s job well. Of course there are much better ones which are more pro but they also cost much much more.

It's a pretty good chair, except the fact that no matter how tight I spin the key, it won't hold above the bottom limit

Good quality overall.
The seat itself is spongy and doesn't seem solid in long term. It could be more sturdy but overall it's good enough quality, does the job.
