What is the difference between a round top and saddle top drum throne?

A round top throne offers a flat, even seating surface that suits most playing styles and is a popular all-round choice. A saddle top throne is shaped like a bicycle seat, encouraging a more open hip position that can reduce fatigue during longer playing sessions. Many professional drummers prefer saddle tops for extended practice or live performance.

Do I need a double-braced drum throne?

Double-braced thrones offer greater stability and are generally recommended for heavier drummers or those who move around a lot while playing. Single-braced thrones are lighter and more portable, making them a good choice for drummers who gig regularly and need to keep their kit compact.

What brands of drum thrones do you stock?

We stock a wide range of drum thrones from leading brands including Mapex, Ludwig, Natal, Sonor, Ahead, and Roc N Soc. Whether you're looking for an entry-level stool or a premium touring throne, we have options to suit every budget and playing style.

Can I visit your store to try drum thrones before buying?

Yes - you're welcome to visit us at our drum store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, where you can try a selection of thrones in person. Our team is on hand to offer advice and help you find the right seat for your needs.

Do you offer next day delivery on drum thrones?

Next day UK delivery is available on most drum thrones in our range. Check the product page for specific delivery options, or get in touch if you need your throne urgently.

Are drum thrones suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. A good drum throne is important for drummers of all levels. Beginners benefit from a stable, comfortable seat that encourages good posture from the start. We stock a range of affordable options that are ideal for those just starting out, as well as premium thrones for more experienced players.

Our round top range includes options from Mapex, Ludwig Atlas Classic, and Sonor - all built with durability and comfort in mind.

Saddle Top Thrones

Saddle top thrones are designed to encourage a more open hip position, which many drummers find reduces fatigue during longer sessions.
