Stools

[stewblack]

Anyone recommend a good musicians stool? I'm spending hours a day rehearsing and learning and can't stand for all of it. My dining room chair is feckin uncomfortable.

I nearly wrote "Not that kind of stool" but decided against it.

I bought a drum throne, so it's seat-shaped and has a backrest. It was quite  expensive but it gets used a lot and is completely adjustable. It was the Roc and Soc one as recommended by my drummer and it works for me.

Yup, same here. Great idea and folds away fairly easily!

I bought a good one for the Mrs when she broke a bone in her foot and couldn't stand and sing all night - 

foot got better and i kept the seat - check Thomann.de

It was £100 + but it is a good one fully adjustable and great for sitting gigs because you can be higher than  the standard chairs provided, mine has a back important if you need to sit for a whole concert, see below

Thank you deepbass5 much appreciated. Will need to check the bank balance!

Steal .... Errr, Re-locate one from your local pub?

I’ve got one by Konig and Meyer. Expensive but very nice.

Speaking as someone who used to own a pub and therefore had to buy the bloody things I'll pretend I didn't hear that!

I looked on eBay - "musicians stools" yields loads of (expensive) results.

"Bar stools" on the other hand yields stuff like this:

I picked up a used one of these from Ebay for a few quid.  Very comfortable for long periods.

I have a butt-kicker attached to the footrest and use it during gigs with a mix of my bass and kick drum fed into it.

I’m sure DFS will have one in their never ending sale.

This. Not cheap, but will do the job properly.

I use the K&M 14045 with optional backrest: https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_stehhilfe_14045.htm?ref=search_rslt_stool_246467_1

Thomann do a similar, but much cheaper, stool by Millennium too.

I've used an ironing stool for a while ("stole"  it from my mother a very long time ago), so you are sitted, but almost still standing and in a comfortable position. Quite cheap if you want to buy one.

Gibraltar drum throne. Costly but worth every penny. I use mine for guitar, bass and piano as I suffer from back pain. Mine is shaped like an old fashioned scooter seat. But better padded.
