Mapex T400 Round Drum Throne

The Mapex T400 Round Drum Throne is an ideal seating solution designed for beginner drummers, students, and musicians who prioritize portability, essential comfort, and reliable stability.3 As part of Mapex’s accessible 400 Series, it offers a solid and functional foundation for those just starting their musical journey or needing a compact, grab-and-go option.4

Practical Comfort for Emerging Drummers

The T400 features a 12-inch x 2.5-inch round top cushioned seat.5 This slender and compact size makes it exceptionally easy to pack, fitting conveniently inside a hardware bag or even with a drum in a case, making it perfect for rehearsals, lessons, or small gigs.6 The soft vinyl covering provides comfortable support for practice sessions without unnecessary bulk, aiming to reduce fatigue for emerging players.7

Stable Yet Portable Design

The Mapex T400 is built with three single-braced legs. While not as heavy-duty as double-braced legs found on higher-end thrones, this design contributes to its lightweight nature and portability, making it easy to set up and transport.8 Each leg is fitted with non-slip rubber feet, ensuring a secure grip on various surfaces and preventing unwanted movement during drumming.9 Its basic but solid construction ensures it can reliably withstand the demands of regular use for beginners.10

Simple and Secure Height Adjustment

The T400 offers easy height adjustment to accommodate a wide range of players’ seating heights.11 Adjustments are made via a 5-position bolt-lock adjustment mechanism, providing secure and consistent height settings.12 Once the desired height is selected, the bolt-lock mechanism firmly holds the throne in place, ensuring it remains stable throughout your session. A memory lock is also included, allowing drummers to quickly recall their preferred height setting for consistent setup every time.13
