Is any one using this throne?

I sat in one at the Music Store and it seems great from the little time I spent on it. A lot of padding and the backrest is really small yet seemed to have some great support right in the small of my back. I've had some lower back problems and this is important. It sort of pushed into me.

I'm using an older threaded Roc N Soc with a backrest right now. The one thing I don't like about it is that the backrest really makes my lower back sweat. It seems like this Pearl model would really cut that down.

Anyway, I'm think about buying one, but before I drop the cash I'd see if any one has been using it, and if so what do you think?

Thanks!

I was going to get one when I saw the pictures of it from the Winter NAMM 2004 show. Then I saw the price, and decided to go with a Gibraltar instead.

I played with the same old stool for years. When the next morning came my back would hurt from bouncing/rocking on the stool. When I got my new drums I bought a gas Roc N Soc .....Problem solved.
