TAMA HT550BCN 1st Chair Glide Rider Drum Throne
Superior Comfort with a Perfectly Balanced Seat
The TAMA HT550BCN Glide Rider represents a breakthrough in drum-throne comfort. After extensive research into seat shape, cushioning materials, fabric tension, and stitching techniques, TAMA created a throne that strikes the ideal balance between firmness and softness. This responsive "Cloth Top" seat supports the drummer’s posture while still allowing natural movement – perfect for long rehearsals, studio sessions, and intense live performance.
HYDRAULIX Height Adjustment for Smooth and Precise Setup
The HT550BCN features TAMA’s HYDRAULIX system, offering incredibly smooth height adjustments at the pull of a lever. Whether sharing gear, dialling in micro-adjustments, or setting up quickly before a gig, the HYDRAULIX mechanism ensures speed, comfort, and accuracy. Complementing this is the Seat Lock system, which provides rock-solid stability once your height is set.
Built for Stability, Durability, and Everyday Use
The Rocklok stabiliser significantly reduces wobble by reinforcing the connection between the seat and column, ensuring the throne stays rigid even under energetic playing. Oversized rubber feet offer excellent grip on any surface, while TAMA’s Foot Life insert protects the legs from long-term wear. At 5.9kg, this throne is sturdy yet manageable, making it an excellent choice for gigging drummers who need reliability without excess weight.
