Ah yes, the rocking p!mp throne.

I use an adjustable piano bench for playing cello, working at the computer and a little for bass. I cannot get a comfortable right arm sitting, so I prefer to play bass standing.

I bought a drafting chair with flip-up arms. It's a bit more expensive, but I think it's well worth it.

It's got a movable (up and down) ring on which you can rest your foot to lift up your "playing thigh" and it's a bit more comfortable (I think) than even drum thrones.

I like these drafting stools from amazon:

I've found that anything with a back will become an annoyance, so a regular old wooden padded bar stool is what I use at home. I take one of those padded folding stools you can get at Target for about $15 to gigs.

I use a wooden IKEA bar stool I found in the trash in both of my rehearsal spaces. They are different stools from different garbage nights but they're pretty comfortable, made of solid wood, and are safe to sit on once sprayed with a little fantastic.

I use Roc-n-soc Lunar drum thrones. Similar to the Nitro mentioned before but with an office chair style base instead of a folding one.

So crazy question; what does every body like to sit on when they practice? I’m looking for something better than the metal folding chair I use now.

I was considering a drumming throne; comfortable and nothing to accidentally bang the instrument on (like a folding chair).

Any suggestions?

I use my office chair for now but I’m looking at one of those “gaming” chairs which are basically the same thing but the arms can fold away when I want to play my bass.

Uh, a chair. There was a spare office chair in the house we bought, I unbolted the right armrest so I could practice on that. Elsewhere, it's usually sitting on.. uh, chairs. Sitting on a cabinet is usually uncomfortable and besides the bass head is on it. If there's a spare drum throne, sure. The rest of the time I stand, because I race around the stage like a lunatic when I play live, and usually roam around the rehearsal area, space permitting.

I like the original post, but I needed to indicate that I like it more than that. I might do it again.

A straight back desk chair, similar to this:

The "ergonomic chairs" scam has been so all-pervasive that it's become almost impossible to find a plain wooden desk chair with a flat hard seat and upright back. Everything tries to kick you back into a reclining position.

In truth, of course, the actual most ergonomic desk chair IS the flat hard straight back chair, because it induces you to move around and it doesn't lock you into one position. It's that locking into one position that a) requires 17 different adjustments on a "ergonomic" chair, none of which ever actually makes it comfortable; and b) by preventing normal periodic shifts of position, actually causes more joint and posture issues than it solves.

For much the same kinds of reasons, I am generally a proponent of standing while practicing and performing music, so that you can use the natural flexibility of your body to move around gently without being frozen into one positon. The human body is designed to move and flex, not to stay stock-still for hours on end.
