Cannon Percussion UP197

I will be reviewing the Cannon Percussion UP197 Double Braced Drum Throne, I bought 2 of the same item and this review is the same for both, I purchased them from zzsounds.

Buyer’s Review
At first the throne is really nice, It can be adjusted high or low, but that was the first problem I encountered, the first day I received it and tried to adjust it, the base of the throne is to closed so you have to spend quite a few minutes either prying it apart or jiggling it out. The rest of the base is quite nice, it has 3 heavy duty rubber stoppers on each leg, and the legs can be adjusted. It came in 3 parts; Base, Seat and Neck, now the neck is basic, but again the holes protrude out to much so it delays the adjust time. The seat it’s self is nice and soft and comfortable, but the wood inside the seat is extremely breakable and flimsy, no matter where you sit you’ll get cracking of the seat’s wood, this will also causes morphing and the seat itself, and will cause it to be lop-sided and uncomfortable. The throne doesn’t rotate, and it squeaks when you move (under any weight Tested by 120bs, 160lbs and 260lbs). All of the clamps work great, expect the Seat’s base clamp, It’s loose and allows you to spin, but squeaks. Over all it will do what you need it to, you may need to modify it but, the price vs. the product is fair.

Personal Notes/Feedback:
To fix the adjusting time problem you can pinch the protruding metal on the neck in with a pair of pliers, and pry out the base with a flat-head screwdriver. To help with the seat you can add an extra plate of wood between the seat’s base and the seat.
