Great throne! I have a lot of back issues and so far is a very sturdy and comfortable throne. The felt material on the seat also makes it cooler to sit on. No negatives for me regarding this product. BUT it does swivel/doesn't lock in place and it moves/bounces a bit when you first sit on it. It doesn't bother me, in fact I prefer that, but it may not be for everyone. My suggestion would be to got to Sam Ash or a music store that has them on display try it out. The other throne that was similar but didn't have the hydraulics was the Pork Pie brand.

A great hydraulic seat finally have amazing comfort. I haven't met one person who owns this seat say anything negative about how comfortable this seat is. Aside from being comfy, the shape of the seat fits perfectly so you have plenty of support under your thighs. You won't be wearing yourself out by lifting your whole leg to get the sound you want. Lastly, probably the best feature, is the hydraulic part. Instead of spinning a seat around to adjust the height, there is a lever you push down, and it adjusts the seat with pressure. It's extremely easy to do. This is a real hands on review from Clark @ Sam Ash Indianapolis, IN

I have a bad back, so sitting on a throne for 3+ hour shows HURTS. The seat on the Nitro Roc N Soc throne is the most comfortable I've ever sat on. Very cushy but with great support. There's no wobble...drummers will know exactly what I mean...this is sturdy. And you can adjust height so quickly and easily, no getting up and spinning spinning spinning, just to have it the wrong height and doing it again. The throne isn't as sexy to talk about as 20-ply drum shells or dry lathed cymbals, but it is the most important piece of equipment you have, because if you're not comfortable or balanced, you're not playing your best. Highly recommend.

Best throne on the market period. Easy set up from the box, no noises or squeaks, would recommend to everyone! I'm 6'5 and this throne fits me with room to spare!

Once you sit on a Roc N Soc throne, it's all over. They are the most comfortable thrones on the market and come in a variety of styles and colors and an optional backrest can be easily added. Sit on one and judge for yourself. Note: The Nitro version has a pneumatic lift for easy up and down adjustment. I am a sales associate @ Sam Ash Atlanta

For years I played on lousy thrones, I guess I just didn't know any better...now you have no excuse, you read this review, don't think twice...click "buy". Just the right amount of "play" in the shock, super comfortable padding, adjustable height, built like a TANK.The only con is it's SO GOOD that my wife keeps grabbing it from my kit and using it as an office chair...it's hard to blame her.

I use this product for playing drums and love it. I used to use the standard throne that came with my Tama swingstar kit and it would keep breaking down and just didn't satisfy me. I realize the expectations for that kind of throne aren't high, but it just royally sucked. I got this Roc 'N Soc fro Christmas several years ago and fell in love with it. It still functions as good today as when I first opened on Christmas day. A great buy!
