UPELLA UP-AG-3 Hydraulic Drum Throne with Backrest, Memory Foam and Velvet Cover
Product description
Drummers looking for an adjustable seat with a backrest get both in the UPELLA UP-AG-3. Its hydraulic height adjustment covers a listed seat-height range of 17.2–24 inches. The seat combines ergonomic memory foam with a velvet-covered finish and faux leather.
Size & fit
The listed seat-height range is 17.2–24 inches, giving players room to set the stool for their playing position. The product is also listed as 14.4 inches wide and 18 inches deep, the separate overall dimensions are 19 inches deep, 14.4 inches wide, and 37.8 inches high. The seat surface is specified as 17.72 by 14.37 inches. These measurements help when planning space around a drum kit, though the different depth figures refer to separate product listings and are worth keeping in mind when comparing dimensions.
A backrest distinguishes this throne from a basic backless drum stool, while the hydraulic cylinder allows height adjustment without changing the seat. The seat uses ergonomic memory foam with a velvet-covered, faux-leather construction. Its dark green color makes this a more specific choice than a plain black stool, so it may suit players who want the seat to coordinate with a particular practice or performance setup.
What you’ll notice day to day
For home practice or a performance setup, the adjustable height can help match the seat to the player and kit. The backrest adds a support point that a simple round stool does not provide, the product details do not specify its shape or adjustment, so treat it as an included backrest rather than a highly configurable support system. The broad saddle-style seat and foam padding are intended to make sitting more comfortable during playing, but personal fit will depend on posture and preference.
The base has six support bars and three enlarged non-slip feet, with a metal frame. This construction is relevant if a planted seat matters while playing, and the feet are described as designed to help protect the floor. The manufacturer also notes that a slight dip when first sitting is normal for its buffered hydraulic system. Assembly requires putting the parts together in simple steps, but detailed instructions are not provided. A solid pick if you want a height-adjustable drum throne with a backrest rather than a simpler backless seat. It may not suit you if you need detailed assembly guidance.

Is it worth it?
This model makes the most sense for a drummer who wants height adjustment, a padded saddle-style seat, and a backrest in one stool. Compared with a more basic backless throne, its support features and velvet-covered memory foam are the main reasons to choose it, someone who only needs a straightforward seat may not need those additions. The listed weight recommendation and height range offer concrete points to compare with your own requirements, while the limited assembly guidance is a practical consideration before setting it up.
