Questions & Answers

Is it possible to adjust the height by pulling the top part of the pole away from the bottom part, or is it only possible to adjust the legs in and out?

Yes, the DS-II is a digital signal processor. The 550 drum throne adjusts up and down, and the rod/pole is held in place by a memory lock. The legs can also be used to make minor adjustments.

How tall can the throne be?

22 inches in length! br>It's basically the same as sitting on a 22 bass drum.

What is the lowest setting (minimum height)?

AN EXCELLENT INVESTIGATION! br>It's about 18 inches widebr>br>br>I SIT LOW and it's still comfortable for me!

Selected User Reviews For Yamaha DS-550 Drum Throne - Lightweight

A light stool was something I was looking for
3/5

This isn't the end of the story. Light hardware is what I'm looking for. I figured I'd give this a shot because Yamaha makes great hardware in general. I'm only 5' 8" and sit at a normal height, but this is just high enough to make it wobbly. I'm afraid I'll crash to the ground in the middle of a show at any moment. Jazz is my instrument of choice. I don't get up and down a lot. Look elsewhere, I assure you.

If you are over 4 feet tall, this seat is not for you
3/5

Just received this drum seat, it was easy to put together but wow I'm very disappointed don't buy this drum seat unless you're 4 ft tall and your drum set is only two feet off the ground it's not even close to being tall enough for me to play my electric drum kit so buyers beware unless you're really really short and your drums are barely off the ground you will not be able to use this seat I might use it in the garage to work on my car but other than that.

Excellent work
5/5

Good quality, I bought it to use with my Bomba barril and it's a 100, the only thing to watch out for is the delicate tapizado, which is easy to rip with the cancamos.

This is a great "small" seat
4/5

If it had been possible to make it slightly taller, I would have given it five stars.

This isn't going to work
3/5

Period. It's hilarious. I'm 165 pounds and I'm not a heavy player - a great deal of brushwork My life would be a lot easier if I had a lightweight stand. But no matter how tight I tightened the wingnut, I kept sliding down to the bottom. Too bad; Yamaha hardware has always impressed me, and I'm currently using one of their hi-fi systems. Hats are on their feet. However, no one can use this.
