The Tama HT830R First Chair is a stable drum throne for professional drummers and beginners who value a healthy posture and absolutely highest quality while learning to play drums. The round seat of this XL version of the Tama 1st Chair has been enlarged once again for a particularly good and stable hold. The comfortable upholstery promises a pleasant feeling during the band rehearsal, a live concert or in the recording studio, where it can sometimes take longer. The double braced legs and wide rubber feet make the Tama HT830R First Chair virtually indestructible. The throne is easily height-adjustable via spindle and has the Super Stabilizer design and removable feet.
The extra large seat of the Tama HT830R is even more comfortable than the standard versions. The seat is thicker and above all softer. The specially designed surface of the Tama throne prevents slipping while playing the drums and provides a secure grip in any situation.
Tama has reduced the distance from the HT830R's central tube to the ground, resulting in a significantly lower center of gravity. This reduced centre of gravity in turn produces increased stability and more stability. In combination with the double braced legs, the Tama HT830R becomes virtually indestructible.
The three rubber feet are 1.5 times larger than the previous Tama feet and thus optimize a comfortable and firm stand. The feet of the Tama HT830R are also removable. A special plastic device prevents the friction of metal on rubber, which in connection with the weight load of drum thrones often leads to damaged feet. Since contact between rubber and metal is avoided here, the service life of the rubber feet is significantly increased.
The red seat is 15" wide and over 5" deep and is very firm, but pliant. The hardened steel screw and legs are covered in thick chrome and all the fittings are massive. The rubber feet are huge too, and have special inserts to stop them from wearing out. Most importantly, it is super supportive and takes my full 200lb weight without creaking or wobbling. I have a TAMA hydraulic throne with a backrest already, but I like this better!
I bought this for my electronic drum kit as I already had the HT750BC on my acoustic kit.
Not wanting to spend as much I opted for this drum throne.
Not quite as comfortable as the 750 but still excellent and much better than the undersized Yamaha one I had.
Easy to adjust and rock solid! The top is firm but still comfortable to sit and play on
OH...... It’s very RED! 😁
Ps if your going to enjoy playing be comfortable!!!
It`s only when you purchase something really good that you realise how really bad your old stool is. I have only used the 1st chair a couple of times since I have just received it, but what a difference. Total stability, for the first time I feel I have freedom of the legs to just use the pedal and not as stabilizers as well. Wish I had purchased this years ago.
