What determines the first impression of a drum throne is the hardness of the seat. In the moment a drummer sits down on the throne, he/she understands whether it's a suitable fit or not. The final decision is very simple, but it depends on many complicated factors. After detailed investigations into shape, material, a stretch of cloth, and method of sewing, Tama released the new Glide Rider drum throne it's an ideal balance between softness and hardness that hasn't been tried before this. 

Seat Lock

This is a great design that utilizes a two-piece locking hinge collar system for superior throne base to seat connection and an oversized wing nut for easy and secure tightening. Tama removed the wobble which can typically affect the seat to throne base connection.

1st Chair Height Adjustment

1st Chair thrones offer the best of both worlds-the exact height adjustment of threaded rod thrones with the fast adjustment of T-bolted systems.

Super Stabilizer Design

By lowering the distance of the center throne pipe to the floor, a lower center of gravity was achieved. Additional stability is improved by lengthening the tripod leg stabilizer bar and designing double-braced tripod legs that do not taper at the point they insert into the rubber feet.

Glide-Tite Grip Joint

This Glide-Tite Grip Joint allows for a more secure attachment by using a metal-to-metal contact point. It is an extremely solid base attachment, even for the heaviest hitters.

Rocklok

Tamas Rocklok features a specially designed Nylon Bushing at the bottom of the throne's threaded rod that prevents side-to-side motion within the base. This special feature provides exceptional durability and stability.

Oversized Rubber Feet

The extra-large rubber feet are 1.5 times larger than previous TAMA rubber feet to optimize stability.

Foot Life

It's tough to imagine just how much weight and stress is on the rubber feet of your stand until you see how often you have to keep replacing them. Not so with Foot Life. An innovative plastic leg attachment, Foot Life eliminates the wear and tear of metal-to-metal contact for longer foot life.
