Re: Pearl 2000 Roadster throne

I can remember that some years ago I had one 16 year old student who used to laugh about how important a throne was until in one lesson I took off the seat from the throne and replaced it with a 4 x4 board balanced on the top of the worm shaft. The kid was all over the place in his playing trying to get things stable. On top of that, what I had him play was Porcaro's Mushanga. He darned near fell into the toms and since he was working off a click earphone metronome his time went clean out of the window. That was extreme of course but he sort of got my goat because he always made snide remarks about "older cats being weaker drummers and needing over-kill thrones". The result was that he, with his Mum in tow with the "required credit card" went into the nearest drum shop and bought a Rock n'sock throne. Today he's still playing and lo and behold he's using the back mounted version of the above Pearl throne. He also does some teaching around town and stresses strongly to all his
"drummin' Moms & Pops" the best throne they can possibly afford for their kids. The thrones on his studio kits are both the Pearl Roadsters!
