Best Drum Stools of 2025

"I was searching for an easy-to-assemble and portable chair for my electric piano, and I found the Eastrock drum throne. Although it's designed for drumming, it works perfectly for me at home or when I need to move my piano. Overall, the chair is sturdy and adjustable, which is great. The cushion is comfortable, allowing me to sit for hours. It’s a great chair for the price!"

"So far, I think it's a sturdy stool. I also appreciate that it came with drumsticks. However, on the shortest setting, it was too tall for my 7-year-old to use, so I'd recommend it for a teen or adult."

"For thirty dollars, it's a great throne. I haven't experienced any issues with it, and the extra drumsticks were a nice addition."

"I bought this stool for my 5-year-old to set up my electronic kit super low. It’s a nice, sturdy drum stool and the included pad is comfortable, but I swapped it out for extra comfort. I’m impressed that it supports my weight as an adult."

"I got this for my nephew who just started drumming. While it worked okay for now, I noticed it smelled strongly of chemicals and felt wobbly. I don't think it will last long, especially for an adult. If you need something cheap for a child, it might suffice."

"This stool was a gift for my friend, a heavy metal drummer. Unfortunately, it didn't last a week before the welding snapped. The look and size were fine, but the quality and functionality were lacking."

"I was initially disappointed with the wobble, but discovered that adjusting the wing bolt fixed the issue, making it very sturdy. Well worth the price!"

"As a beginner drummer, this throne works great for me. It's stable and adjustable, which is exactly what I need."

"I love this chair for playing instruments like piano and guitar. I just wish it had wheels for easier movement, but I understand it may compromise stability."

"I found this chair sturdy enough for my music room. It was easy to put together and looks nice. It's great for overflow seating during the holidays, so I give it full marks!"

"Straight out of the box, this was the stool I needed. It’s attractive and easy to assemble, but I couldn't keep the seat locked to the base, which made it rock. I had to return it."

"I really like the look of this throne. The blue velvet is sharp, and the material feels nice. However, the cushion is very stiff at first, and it does wobble a bit, but it seems durable overall."

"I find this drum throne to be well built with quality materials. The assembly was a breeze with the clear instructions. The seat's contour fits nicely, though I wish the foam was a bit softer. Importantly, it doesn't squeak like my previous one. Overall, I'm satisfied with this choice!"

"I bought this as a Christmas gift for my grandson, and by the time I arrived, he had already opened it and was thrilled. He has two drum sets but only had one throne, so this was a perfect addition. He mentioned it was very comfortable and I noticed the solid construction; the chrome legs are heavy duty. As a grandparent, seeing him happy makes it all worthwhile!"

"I previously had a non-branded throne that was a hassle to set up and kept losing height. This Donner throne is probably the best option at this price point, although it does have limited adjustability. While the seat isn’t the most comfortable, it's adequate for long practice sessions. If you're on a budget, this is a good choice, but I might recommend saving for something better."

"I found it very sturdy and comfortable for an inexpensive throne. I highly recommend it for anyone building a set from scratch or needing a practice throne. The quality is impressive!"

"This throne is a great value! While it's not a high-end drum throne, it definitely feels like a $60 product at just $30. I was so satisfied that I bought a second one. Assembly was straightforward; it took me a couple of minutes to figure it out!"

"I bought this throne for my 9-year-old son as a starter throne for his drum pad. It seems to be decent quality and the added sticks were a nice bonus!"

"I was initially worried about the sturdiness due to the lower price, but I was pleasantly surprised. The base is very sturdy, and the seat is incredibly comfortable. Plus, the hydraulic height adjuster is a neat feature!"

"This throne serves as an excellent bench rest seat and reloading chair. It's very stable and has a great height adjustment. I wish I had bought one much earlier; finding a comfortable position can be quite a hassle when sighting in."

"As many others have mentioned, this is a very sturdy stool that is easy to assemble. I appreciate the height capability; it’s rare to find something that goes as high as this."

"I was thrilled to receive this stool for my son's drum set. He absolutely loves it and was pleasantly surprised when he opened the box. I'm grateful for the excellent customer service and quick resend!"

"I found the seat to be a bit smaller than I had anticipated. This could be a positive if you think your current seat is too large, I suppose."

"Overall, this throne fits my needs perfectly. I play drums about once a week, and it serves its purpose well."

"I had to replace my previous throne due to a broken leg. This one feels much more stable and firm, yet it's very comfortable to sit on."

"After owning several thrones from various brands, I found this one to be a great value for the $48 I paid. It's sturdy and perfect for students or home practice, though the seat cushion might be a bit too firm for long use."

"I really like how easily adjustable this throne is, and once I set the height, it stays secure. The cushioning has the right amount of spring, making it the most comfortable stool I've ever used while playing."

“As a new drummer, I found this throne to be perfect for practice. The cushioning is ample and it’s very stable. Once I set the height, it stayed in place. At 6ft and 200lbs, it supports me well, making it ideal for beginners like me.”

“I really like this throne; it’s a huge upgrade from the flimsy one I had. Initially, it feels great, but after a while, the hardness does become noticeable. Still, for the price, it’s a solid choice if you’re on a budget.”

“This drum throne is incredible for the price! It’s much thicker than others, which is great for longer sessions. The top has a soft feel, and while it gathers dust, it’s manageable. The height adjustment is sturdy, and it’s super easy to assemble.”
