Hello everyone, I would like to get anyones opinion and experiences on this question. What do you use as a seat, how long do you play, is it comfortable etc. I am looking at the roc n soc lunar, does anyone have any experience with that seat.

Do a search....we have had discussions on this topic recently....

Thanks Dnj, I'll do a search next time.

I use a Quick Loc D-749, which is fully adjustable and folds flat for transportation. I modified the seat by enlarging the seat area by 3-inches in all directions, then changed the cushion to 4-inch thick, close-cell foam.

Mapex Throne

I used the Quik Lok Gary has, then moved to the current Roc-n-soc with lift. I recently sat in a Mapex guitar throne at G.C. Loved it- nice smaller but thicker back pad positioned forward more than the r-n-s.

Sparky,

How would you fold it up for transporting? It appears as if only the legs collapse. At my age, I'm always looking for comfort, but I also look for something that is easily transported.

be careful with the Mapex/Tama style Drum thrones,...yea it feels nice in the store when you FIRST sit in it as I thought so also when I bought one,.. BUT,......after gig after gig in the seat for 4 or eight hours at a time your "genitalia" will take a Big Toll due to the crotch HUMP intended to keep a "Drummer" in place while playing....as when your playing keyboard one tends to keep slipping forward putting pressure on the "COHONES" especially in HOT Weather when sweat will also agitate the crotch areas On top of that they weigh a ton to carry around and awkward to transport, stack on a kart, etc,.. also.

With my r-n-s, the legs collapse, the seat comes off, and the backrest slides out from under the seat. When i had the ql, i cut some of the "excess" top off of the rail that the backrest slides on to- it was too long and heavy.

all that work for just a seat !!! thats why I eliminated the seat completely from my rig.... I like to sit very low in the seat and have no problem using whatever chairs they have available at the GIG.....I do however carry a nice foam seat cushion just in case of a thin metal folding chair....
LESS gear will travel YEAH!!
