THE BEST PERFORMANCE STARTS AT THE CORE TAMA’s new 1st Chair drum thrones were designed with core comfort in mind. Several new features have been developed in order to increase stabilization of the throne, and thereby the core, for maximum comfort and enhanced performance. From extra large rubber feet and significantly more stable legs to our recently upgraded “Seat Lock” seat holder and the extra smooth “Glide Tite Grip Joint”, Tama’s new 1st chair thrones were remained from the ground up. Also, by lowering the distance of the center throne pipe to the floor, Tama has lowered the center of gravity for better stability and overall playing comfort. With these significant improvements, drummers can think less about physical stress or fatigue, and more about the music.
