Jans drummer hubby talking. I have had the original model of this throne with backrest since I think, the late 80s or early 90s and still use it today. I've looked at and sat on the new version and it's not as good. At 47, 6' 4" and 245 pounds, I can still use my old Gibby throne for several hours and still leave my kit in upright walking position because the seat was molded of high density foam like a large bike seat that forces you to sit forward and upright. The new seat with its wider cushion does not do that. It's designed for fat US bums, not the athletic activity drumming truly is.Other big diffs between todays Gibby throne and the one I have is the seat hardness (new is too soft, and cloth instead of the indestructable vinyl used on school bus seats that & will probably fail if you hammer it into a road case for a few years like I did mine), the height adjustment is now a screw tube instead of a clamp type (not a bad thing but adds cost), and the backrest mounts lower to the seat by clamping onto the support tube instead of attaching to a bracket on the bottom of the seat itself (which lowers the seat back and makes it less effective on supporting your mid back if youre tall). Oh, and by the way, the fabric is now stapled to a cheap piece of paperboard instead of a Masonite type product as mine made in the 80s was. Guess Kaman had to squeeze another 3 cents out of production costs to make shareholder divvie targets with that one!Unfortunately there are not many good thrones on the market-they all compromise something in order to deliver low cost, reliability, and functionality. I know, I've tried many and cant find a replacement for my old Gibby (I truck it with me everywhere now). My advice is dont buy one online before you try one in a music store/ Also, try to keep your lower back in shape by keeping fit and playing in the right posture to avoid the back issues all drumkit drummers face as we age.

This throne is well built and very comfortable. I weigh over two hundred pounds and it seems very stable to me. It's a little bulky for travel but the comfort of the moto seat and back rest are well worth the hassell.

This is an awesome chair. The only thing I don't like about it is the limited seat height adjustment capabilities. If your a real tall guy, you might feel this is too short. EXTREMELY comfortable.
