Anyone use canister thrones? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 52 Threads: 9

I scored a really nice Slingerland canister throne recently that matches my main kit. I'd never used one before or even seen one in person before it showed up at the house. I was very surprised at how comfortable it is! I've used some other vintage thrones before and they are usually wobbly and have very little padding. This canister is sturdy and the padding is really thick, maybe just as comfy as my Tama ergo rider.

I'm curious if anyone likes to use them for everyday drumming or gigging? I had expected it to be just for show, but I'm really digging it. I can see how they could be a little too tall for some people, but I'm 6'3", so it actually is a pretty nice height for me.

So, which companies back in the day made canisters? Ludwig, Slingerland? Anyone else?

I'd love one. Someday.

Rogers issued them. You see them up for sale from time to time.

Yes indeed!... I'll attach a pic of mine, and of course it's Rogers! That said, the main THREE companies offering the canister throne were: Rogers, Ludwig, and Slingerland. Others may have, but didn't get much notice. These were the TOP THREE!

I use a new Ludwig one and they are quite comfy, I actually use it as a case as well! I was skeptical about doing that but it's held up perfectly, I don't know if a vintage one would still be able to perform its case duties though...

The vintage models will indeed still "be able to perform it's case duties" , but... I choose not to do that as the interior on mine is pristine, so it shall stay that way! What I did do is get a custom case for it though, so transport is easy and the canister stays protected!

Good to know they still hold up! If I do get a vintage one be nice to know I could use it as a case, I probably wouldn't for the same reason as you. What company made your canister throne case? I'd like to get one too.

I have a Rogers canister throne. I don't use it because it is cumbersome to carry. If it had a handle on it I would probably use it. Any ideas on how to put a handle on it without drilling any holes?
