Gretsch Pro Drum Throne vs Tackle Drum Key with Leather Case: which should I buy?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

Buy the Gretsch Pro Drum Throne if you need a drummer’s seat; choose the Tackle Drum Key with Leather Case if you need a tuning tool. They do different jobs, so this is about what your kit is missing.

The Gretsch Pro Drum Throne has a best supplied new price of £111. It’s the relevant purchase if you need somewhere to sit while playing; a drum key won’t solve that problem.

The Tackle Drum Key with Leather Case in Mahogany has a best supplied new price of £13. It’s the relevant purchase for adjusting drum tension rods, with a case to keep the key in.

My practical take: sort your seat first if you haven’t got one, or pick the key if seating is already covered and you’re missing a tuning tool. Neither replaces the other.
