drum throne

Percussionist's adjustable seat

A drum throne is the padded, typically round seat drummers use while playing.

Unlike chairs, drum thrones have no back and usually feature a threaded post for height adjustment.

The elevated, backless design allows drummers freedom of movement to reach all parts of the kit: He adjusted his drum throne before the set.
