TAMA began manufacturing drums in 1965 under the name "Star Drums", and Star continues to be used in the names of TAMA's drum models to this day. TAMA was one of the first manufacturers to offer super heavy-duty hardware, and drum mounting systems that did not intrude into the shell. TAMA's drums and hardware are world renowned as among the best available. Part of TAMA's 1st Chair series, the Round Rider drum throne offers firm support, comfortable padding and rock solid stability. It features a traditional and gently rounded cushion shape that is very popular due to its versatility. The Round Rider is available with a durable PVC seat, or a newly designed cloth top seat. It features a Rocklok nylon bushing to prevent side-to-side wobble and a smooth T-bolt height adjustment system. Double braced legs provide extra strength and stability and the Round Rider is height adjustable from 19" - 25 3/4".
