Tama HT550BCN 1st Chair Drum Throne Glide Rider with Cloth Top & Hydraulix Overview:

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, stretch of cloth, and method of sewing, we release the new Glide Rider drum throne—it’s an ideal balance between softness and hardness we hadn’t tried before this. The Glide Rider is available as a HYDRAULIX model (HT550BCN) and as a tripod-base model (HT530BCN).Features:Seat Lock for HYDRAULIXThis is a great design that utilizes two-piece locking hinge collar system for superior throne base to seat connection and oversized wing nut for easy and secure tightening. TAMA removed the “wobble” which can typically affect the seat to throne base connection.HYDRAULIX1st Chair HYDRAULIX thrones allow effortless height adjustment simply by activating a lever. And because HYDRAULIX features a seat that can be removed from the base, this innovative throne offers the most easy-to-store and transport design in the market.Super Stabilizer DesignBy lowering the distance of the center throne pipe to the floor, a lower center of gravity was achieved. Additional stability 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.Oversized Rubber FeetThe extra-large rubber feet are 1.5 times larger than previous TAMA rubber feet to optimize stability.Foot LifeIt’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.Specifications:•Weight: 5.9kg (13lbs)•Height Adjustment Range: 470mm – 650mm (18 1/2″ – 24 5/8″)
