stewblack Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Anyone recommend a good musicians stool? I'm spending hours a day rehearsing and learning and can't stand for all of it. My dining room chair is feckin uncomfortable. Edited February 13, 2018 by stewblack typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil.c60 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I bought a drum throne, so it's seat-shaped and has a backrest. It was quite expensive but it gets used a lot and is completely adjustable. It was the Roc and Soc one as recommended by my drummer and it works for me.

Great idea and folds away fairly easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I bought a good one for the Mrs when she broke a bone in her foot and couldn't stand and sing all night - foot got better and i kept the seat - check Thomann.de It was £100 + but it is a good one fully adjustable and great for sitting gigs because you can be higher than the standard chairs provided, mine has a back important if you need to sit for a whole concert, see below https://www.thomann.de/gb/mey_chair_systems_afsrklah_bk.htm Edited February 13, 2018 by deepbass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I looked on eBay - "musicians stools" yields loads of (expensive) results. "Bar stools" on the other hand yields stuff like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Auction-Set-of-2-Core-Line-Faux-Leather-Chrome-Bar-Stool-MATT1A204-2/391978785460?hash=item5b43c19ab4:g:2RUAAOSw3q5aeZjW https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clearance-Set-Of-2-Malina-Walnut-Cream-Faux-Leather-Chrome-Barstools-FIL105-1/372217158272?hash=item56a9df1a80:g:W8AAAOSwIJlaTlLk https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Auction-Single-Core-Grey-Faux-Leather-Chrome-Bar-Stool-MATT1A212-1/232660938726?hash=item362bac2fe6:g:mTkAAOSwU9Raft06 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clearance-Set-Of-2-Orlando-Walnut-Black-Faux-Leather-Barstools-FIL-133-1/372218017627?hash=item56a9ec375b:g:cksAAOSwItJafcZ- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bar-stool/222829023362?hash=item33e1a51082:g:mrUAAOSwGHJaciAp Pays to be vague apparently... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I picked up a used one of these from Ebay for a few quid. Very comfortable for long periods. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-of-two-bar-stools-brown-bar-chairs-dining-stool-bar-furniture/222836996091?hash=item33e21eb7fb:g:HcYAAOSwBp9agrXA I have a butt-kicker attached to the footrest and use it during gigs with a mix of my bass and kick drum fed into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've used an ironing stool for a while ("stole" it from my mother a very long time ago), so you are sitted, but almost still standing and in a comfortable position. Quite cheap if you want to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Gibraltar drum throne. Costly but worth every penny. I use mine for guitar, bass and piano as I suffer from back pain. Mine is shaped like an old fashioned scooter seat. But better padded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
