Gibraltar Skinny Top

[Houndog]

It’s a pain hauling my RocnSoc throne around and since I rarely if ever do a
full night gig and no back issues .I checked into a lighter easier to pack throne .

Upon initial inspection the box it came in weighed 13 lbs . I don’t know how much my RocnSoc weighs but it seems decently lighter …

I’m used to saddle style seats so this feels different so far but the padding seems pretty close to the RnS .

Top is easily removable compared to the RnS , bonus ..

So no issues with it fitting in my case .

And with the height adj being a screw-type no worries about the longevity of the seat post …..

I paid $99 shipped …

Firm cushion ?

Houndog, about 20 years ago or so Yamaha was selling a rectangular mesh throne. Heavy bottom as all double braced Yamaha is but it's really a comfortable throne. Although I prefer gigging with my roc n soc, there are times I want or have to tote less. That mesh throne was discontinued long ago and I see them on reverb and eBay occasionally. Mine is still holding up great. It is canted from back to front and is really a comfortable mesh that keeps my rear end from being sweaty in hot gigs.

I just need a lighter weight bottom that is durable enough for the throne top.

My Soundseat has the double braced Yamaha base , it’s very heavy ..

Firm cushion ?

Yes , more cushion than you’d think with the name Skinny Top

My behind hurts just looking at how thin that top is

I don't know much about that seat, but I'd like to know about that stick tray attached to your Hi-hat.

Nice!

What are the black wraps on your sticks?
Do they keep the sticks from flying out of your hands?

Is it round and firm?

Looks like a Rhythm Tech MGT. I have one that I've used heavily for two decades, still going strong.

Firm cushion ?

It's not as firm as my Porter and Davies, but comparable with my other thrones (Yamaha 700 and 800 series, Tama 1st Chair, and one of the new Rogers swan leg)

Correct on all counts .
It feels like it has sufficient padding so far ……

Then again my drum throne is something I only think of when it’s time to load and unload ….

Also, every great drummer needs a Tele in the corner of his drum room...

I noticed last year my sticks starting to slip around , seems I’ve developed extremely dry palms . I also deal with eczema .. I find I can keep a more relaxed grip as well .
I need all the help I can get with relaxation …

Me too. I'm 63 now. Grip is still good, but I like the wraps and had never tried them before a few months ago.

What’s the product?
Do you buy sticks with it on or do you buy the wraps separately and put them on the sticks?
