Millenium MDT4 Drum Throne Round

I run a PA company and needed a stool for our festival 'house kit'. To be honest this sees as much use around the workshop and stage side as a general stool as it does behind a drum kit. we bought it just to last the summer but it has exceeded expectations. Bear in mind that I'm a lot bigger than the average guy, at 150kg, s the stool has taken a lot of downward force without any damage to parts. The only exception is the feet - and here I should apply a note of caution. I used it as an engineers stool at a festival, on soft grass. my weight pushed the metal legs through the rubber feet. I should imagine it would be fine if used properly and it still suits our purposes but others may find that if there is a weak point, it may be that the rubber feet wear through over time. I should add though that despite the legs protruding from the feet, this doesn't appear to have effected use or stability in use.

I haven't read comments before buying, because it was part of a bundle and I didn't think it could be too bad. It is unstable and wobbly and loosens all the time, until you tighten the main shaft clamp with a large plier, and the other winged screw as hard as you can. I did that and it is rock solid now, no more loosening if I sit on it and move. On the other hand, the upper half is a bit weird. It indeed has a very narrow cushioning and once you sit on it, all the air vents out so it becomes a bit hard. Not very comfortable, but not all that bad either. But the winged screw, which should fix the whole thing here is also hard to tighten. And if you are successful in that regard, then the whole thing comes apart again when you move on it a little bit, because it loosens the main clamp (even if you tightened it with a tool). Better get used to that it rotates. At least then the lower part remains stable. I haven't tried it yet, but a rubber or plastic washer under the main shaft clamp probably helps a lot (so you can tighten it enough with hand), if you can find or make a matching size. Or simply avoid this one and find a better stool.

The Millenium MDT4 Drum Throne is a good choice for drummers looking for a comfortable and affordable seat for practice or home studio use. The round seat offers decent padding and support, making it a comfortable option for extended playing sessions.

For the price, it delivers solid performance and comfort that is hard to beat in its category, making it a perfect choice for beginners or hobbyists who want a decent drum throne without breaking the bank.

While the quality is suitable for home and hobby use, it's important to note that the MDT4 is not built to withstand the rigors of frequent gigging or touring. It lacks the heavy-duty construction of more expensive models, which could be a concern if you're planning to take it on the road regularly.
