The Ahead Spinal Glide Throne SPG-BL-3 is a spinal glide drum throne saddle, in black. The Spinal Glide stool takes on a widespread problem in the world of drummers, back pain. By working on the musculoskeletal system of drummers, the new seat design of the Spinal Glide Drum Stool provides a remedy here. The seat of the Spinal Glide Drum stool Ahead is divided into two parts. Both halves of the seat are equipped with an independent suspension and give the lower back (where the pain originates) more freedom of movement.
This is a good comfy stool! I bought it for playing piano in rehearsals as sitting there for 6 - 8 hours a day was doing my back no good but the split seat design is VERY comfy.
The hardware is a little loose and I've found myself having to re tighten then stand a few times!
It's no exaggeration to say his throne has instantly improved my playing. I'm an intermediate drummer and have previously been using a lower quality stool and didn't know how limiting that actually was. The ergonomics of the seat allow for greater balance and a greater range of motion, with a lot less strain on the lower back. The depth of the cushion makes me feel like I'm floating a bit compared to what I was using before, and my limbs can move with a lot greater fluidity whilst I'm using less energy to maintain my posture as such. Definitely worth the price, which was the best I found when researching this model, and thrones like this hold their value quite well also (should you decide to sell it on in future). Only problem is I'll probably have to sit on something less sturdy in studios etc. having gotten used to this one at home.
