Un-air conditioned tour busses and rotary phones were good enough for Buddy as well, but that wouldn't work for me. I would agree that the canister throne has come and gone. If I wanted one (and I don't) it would not require serious carpentry skills to make one. You could choose the diameter, the height, the type of throne cushion, etc. Kurt, nice looking kits!
Plus 1 there...
I've never owned one. I have used 'em a couple times though. I didn't like 'em. Even when I was a kid, I would change the height of my throne every once in a while, between sets normally. My back said that was a good idea for me. Now, thousands of years later, I sing praises to the up and down handle on my big, four legged, DW throne.
I wouldn't trade that thing, except for another one.
Now, after all that, I do have to add this:
A drum kit displayed with a matching canister, new or not, home brew (done well) or factory, ups the mojo and cool factor immeasurably!
