Using this drum throne is a breeze. First, adjust the height to your liking with the spin-lock mechanism. Just spin it to raise or lower the throne until you find the perfect position. Sit on the throne and enjoy the comfort of the neoprene and memory foam. Remember to keep the throne clean. You can wipe the neoprene top with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. When not in use, collapse the double-braced base to 20' for easy storage and transport. Avoid sitting on the throne with sharp objects on your clothes to prevent damage to the seat. If you have any problems, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
