Drum Deals: Save up to 25% with drum thrones from Roland, DW, and Tama
Instant upgrade to sitting behind the kit!
It might not be the most exciting drum accessory, but getting one of these drum thrones instead of the old one you’ve been using for the last 20 years might be the best gift you can give yourself. Because choosing the right drum throne can (literally) make or break your drumming experience. That’s why we’re excited to present you a couple of drum deals on drum thrones – both for acoustic drums and e-drums!
Drum Deals for Drum Thrones!
Roland RDT-R and RDT-S: Not just for E-drums
There really isn’t much of a difference in terms of the needs drum thrones have to fulfill for playing acoustic drum kits compared to playing e-drum kits. Setting up the drum kit, finding the fitting heights for each drum and cymbal all depends on the height (and comfort) of your drum throne. And despite a lot of guides saying this or that height or leg angle is the best or worst, it all comes down to personal preference.
Because body shapes and individual drumming styles vary wildly. Just look at the level of the hihats compared to the level of the drum throne for legends like Travis Barker or Dave Grohl. That has nothing to do with how you *should set up a drum kit. But it’s their way. So why not get one of these drum thrones from an e-drum kit maker for your drum kit and have it your way?
You could get the cheaper round throne RDT-R at 25 percent off at Thomann*. It’s probably a little harder to sit on, but some drummers need exactly that feeling. Or invest in the more expensive but also more comfortable and softer drum saddle Roland RDT-S, which is over 20 percent off at Thomann*.
The DW 5100 Drummer Throne is one of the best entry-level models
Drums, hardware, thrones – everything DW makes is regarded as the best of the best by many drummers. So even if you’re getting one of their entry-level drum thrones like the DW 5100, you’re still set for life. Or at least the first decade of your playing, or longer if it’s more of an occasional hobby than a tour life.
You’ll get a round top with a 13-inch/33-cm diameter. The throne’s height can be adjusted from 53cm to 74cm (21 inches to 28 inches), which should be fine for most. Plus, DW hardware is extremely durable. This model is over 20 percent off at Thomann* right now.
Get comfy with the Tama HT750C
One step up from the traditional saddles is choosing a hydraulic model – office chair vibes! With these saddles, there is no more tedious chair-spinning and a much quicker setup! These models do come at a higher price, but the hydraulic system also protects your back (and behind) from shocks and strong vibrations much better than a traditional model can.
In that sense, drum thrones like the Tama HT750C can be seen as entry-level hydraulics. And since this model is on sale at Thomann*, we couldn’t not mention it in our weekly drum deals! 8 percent off might not be much, but these thrones rarely go on sale!
