Stools-- (the kind you sit on)

Jaco only needed 3 legs....

 

Those Ampeg bar stools look pretty cool.

Cheap too.

 

I've been meaning to get one (for practice).

I'm 6'4" and noticed that (where else?) "barstools.com" has a good "Extra Tall" selection.

(kinda' pricey though).

 

I really like Lemur's ergonomic stool. It is infinitely adjustable to any height you want, folds up completely flat, and has a well placed foot rest. I would however, like a little more padding for my ancient boney butt than this model provides.

 

I use a Roc-N-Soc stool, it's very comfortable.

 

I use one of these in my practice room, it is by far the most comfortable stool I've ever owned. I never did measure the height but I think it is the standard 29".

In any case if you could somehow retro fit that comfy drum thrown on a taller stool or modify the design you'd be sitting pretty!

 

I own this and would not recommend it. Mine tends not to stay in position and the seat tends to bend forward. Not terrible. Perhaps good for gigs and better than a bar stool, but not as nice as the Roc-n-Soc.

 

Not sure what heights Roc n Soc make. I use a 26".

Here is another link, they make a gas lift for their thrones that will go 25-35". Kinda pricey though.

My vote goes to Roc-N-Soc as well.

 

You may wish to consider one of these:

 

Here's another option. A little pricey though, and not especially portable.

Make sure you get the fold out foot rest. (Down about the middle of the page)

I have one, but only use it at home for practicing. If I had a roadie, I'd surely take it on gigs.

can you put a hitch on that and trailer a full-stack

 

I have one. It's very poorly made. Rattly, unstable, shaky, and the seat cover started wearing through after about a week of use. It's also heavy, but I would have been willing to deal with the weight if it were well built.

 

I am using this:

It's pretty comfortable, lightweight, study & portable. It will go higher than 30". I have a friend who plays keyboards and is 6'5". He uses the Lemur / Quik Loc stool and it seems to work great for him.

Don't know how to post a link yet, But I just picked this up (see title) from Musicians Friend for $50. 9 different height options and a back rest and foot rest. Seems pretty durable. Heavy though, added one more trip to the load in.

 

I've got one of these K&M stools (without the back rest) It's kind of pricey and not very portable, but very comfortable, height adjustable, and well built.
