    My first drum teacher told me 15+ years ago: "before buying anything else, invest on a good throne". To this date, that's the best drumming advice I've ever gotten.

    • @TheCokee47
      @TheCokee47 5 років тому +18

      For sure. My first throne was a shit, no name round throne off Amazon. The tightening knob broke in half after the first few days and the seat would just constantly lower on its own, all the time. I threw that out and bought a Gibraltar 6608 drum throne and it makes such a difference having something sturdy and solid under you.

      For the first 5 or 6 years of my drumming life I used a computer lab stool and it worked fine, but when it broke I went all out and got myself a Pearl D-2500BR. The difference that a nice stool makes cannot be overstated
