This chair is comfortable with soft paddings, would be ideal if you just wanna sit and relax. However, I found it lack of support for drumming. My lower back started feeling weird after playing for a while, which I’ve never felt like that before. I noticed if you sit slightly off centered, the edges of the chair would collapse and provide poor support for your balance, which ends up the weight of my body shifts on my lower back. The quality and material is super nice tho, love their memory lock system which you can adjust the height of the chair instantly. But in my opinion, firmness is the top priority of a great drum throne.
