          I am guessing that 2nd stool, while it looks comfortable, might make pedal use a little hard.

            Tried several chairs and stools. I liked the office chair because of the comfort and adjustability, but wasn't crazy about the wheels. Local pawn shop had some drum kits with different thrones, so I tried those out.
            Ended up buying a PDP by DW drum throne with the tractor style seat. Had it for a little over a week now and I really like it.

              I have 2 office chairs that I was given that don't have arms on them. They work well enough for me.

                  I like to play standing, but my knees already pop and grind, and I'm only a few years away from the age that my mom had to have double knee replacement surgery. So it gets uncomfortable pretty fast and I'm trying to ease the wear/pain when I can. I do enough other stuff that causes pain without playing guitar doing it too, haha

                    I have a couple of of cheap ($20) armless desk chairs from Walmart. They look like this:



                    Invariably, the cat chooses to sleep on the one in front of my studio desk. When I go to practice or use the studio computer, I roll "his" chair away (with him on it) and roll "mine" into position. Of course as soon as I leave, he switches chairs so I have to move him again when I return.

                      Re: Stool or chair for playing

                      I got an "ergonomic" PC-chair for free :o (too bad I can't share a picture)

                      But it's got wheels (for moving between PC/ recording interface and amp),
                      and no armrests

                      So I'm happy
                      If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!

                          I prefer non padded folding chair for brighter tone with my Gibson, and a padded folding chair when I play my brighter super strat. It kind of takes a little off the high end.

                          When I'm recording, I tend to use just the gaming chair with fold up arms. Gives my recordings a warmer feel, and you don't get the shrillnes from one of the wooden dining chairs.

                          Drum throne for Acoustic. Gives my Fender a nice push to the mids.
                          I think I took a wrong turn in Albuquerque...

                            You’ve gotta pick the right tone chair

                              if you don't believe in tone chairs

                              just rest your guitars bottom on a wooden chair and a padded gaming chair

                              hear the difference

                              now your dining room table , picnic table
                              porcelain toilet

                              all give different sounds
