Throne - wheeled? Or not to wheel???

Only put wheels on it if you’re gonna wear a helmet too.

I have a cheap throne and the seat turns. It isn't even attached to the pole that sticks up. I can lift it right off and throw it like a frisbee. I am new to drumming and was wondering if the better ones swivel or not. Seems like swiveling would allow turning more but maybe that isn't a good thing. Like I said, I am new to this and just figuring it out as I go.

Its a personal thing, but i'd definitely upgrade if I was you, to a Pearl Roadster, Tama 1st Chair, Natal DT1, Gibraltar or similar, depending on your preference for seat shape (round/saddle). Will be much sturdier and more reliable than a cheap throne, which will break soon enough, and could cause you physical injury, or spinal pain. Personally I go for a round top Natal DT1, with a fleece Protection racket seat cover, and have it fixed not to spin, I'd rather let my upper body turn than the throne. Also many thrones make a noise/squeak when turning which isn't what you want, especially in the studio.

Cool. Thanks for that info. I will check into those that you mentioned.
