Video Of RKS30X:
The RKS30X is in my opinion the best keyboard stand on the market. I will explain why. First off this uses a push button mechanism to adjust the height up and down. With the RKS30X You will not have to sit there turning a knob like with conventional X stands. With this one, you hit a button and you can adjust the height of the stand quickly and easily. This mechanism is actually also way more sturdy than the older technology. Most X stand shave square shaped tubes. The Rockville RKS30X has circular tubes. Our engineers found that circular tubes are more sturdy and are stronger and more durable. These can withstand a ton of impact. The weight capacity of this model is 132 pounds. This is a conservative rating. I weigh 160 pounds (pure muscle of course) and I was able to lean all my body weight onto this unit with my feet totally in the air and this unit supported me easily. We rate this at 132 pounds capacity although it can really handle more than this. The tubing is 1 MM thick. This is thicker than other similar looking models on the market. We spared no expense in manufacturing the best quality X stand.
We added thumbs on the top of the stand where your keyboard sits to ensure your keyboard is snug and can not fall on the floor accidentally. The rubber feet on these have ridges so that even if the floor is not level, the stand will sit sturdy. The rubber feet also will stop the stand from sliding on slippery floors.
The locking mechanism uses top quality parts coupled with amazing craftsmanship. These are truly the best built stands. These are double X braced and can fold up quickly making them extremely portable and convenient.

Deluxe Drum Throne
Check out the new RDS30 from Rockville. We decided to not bother manufacturing those cheap thrones. We were more interested in quality at a reasonable price rather than just making the cheapest possible throne. One of the main differences between ours and others you will find on ebay are the mechanism. To adjust the seat up and down we have a knob you turn to loosen and then you can pull the pin out and adjust the seat, and then you put the pin in and tighten the knob. Since our throne has a knob you tighten the seat is secure and tight without shaking. The cheaper models on the market only give you a pin without a knob to tighten it. If you have ever used a stand or throne with this mechanism you will notice the shakiness. This cheaper mechanism is not sturdy. We decided to make our throne with only top of the line mechanisms.
This has a collapsible design making it completely portable. This model has 2 knobs. One for adjusting the height of the seat, and the other for adjusting the legs. The metal we use to manufacture these are clean and strong. Our Rockville throne is also double braced for added strength. We upgraded our throne’s padding to a 2.5” thickness, offering hours of comfort.. It makes a big difference when sitting for long periods of time. We covered it with a round vinyl covered cushion. The craftsmanship on this throne is truly great. I compared this unit to units from big famous brands and these are way better and like a third of the price. These are extremely durable.Shock absorbing molded rubber feet keep the RDS30 from sliding, and the solid ear casting gives the RDS30 remarkable stability and durability.The RDS30 is height adjustable from 18.9” to 24.4” so you can adjust itto meet your exact preferred playing position. This model is as sturdy as a throne can be.
If you want the best quality and best price, buy this throne. There are some out there for around the same price as this Rockville but they are not as good. They have less cushion, a cheap pin mechanism with no handle, and are not double braced. You will not be as happy with those though. This is a premium throne for the same price as the entry level thrones.
