I have to at my age.
I have the Tama First Chair throne, and added the backrest later. Works great, very adjustable. I'm rarely on the rest when playing though, I just like having it to lounge onto between things, when flipping through books, computer, etc. The shock absorber seat post is a great feature of that throne.Thinking about getting a back rest for my Tama Wide Rider throne. I'm a small guy playing a big (size) kit and have been feeling lately like I'm playing at the drums rather than on them. I had also been experiencing a bit of strain in my back after longer periods of playing. So tonight, I set up the kit so my back was against the wall with a rolled up towel supporting my lower back, and it felt pretty good! Obviously just a test but was enough to make me think about buying one. Does anyone use one? Or not use one, and why?
Also would like to know if the Tama add-on rest is decent, or whether I should look at getting a new throne altogether. It will probably be something I have to mail order so won't really get to try it out in a store.
