So my throne is a pancake. Its about an inch thick. So my question is: the money that I'm potentionally going to get from Christmas should part of that go to a brand new thick throne? And do good thrones really matter?

It is the most important part of your kit.
Yep! You're the heaviest part of the kit. You need good support.
I'd say YES!
I went from a cheapo to a Carmichael - now that's an upgrade ;-)
That new throne might well be my last one for quite some time.
Yes! Very important. Even just for regular practice. I use a Pearl Roadster throne. It has a very nice thick pad and even better it has a gas shock in it:

I gigged this thing over this past summer and wow what a difference! For long two hour sets I felt a lot less tired and strained. For home practice use I will also be getting a throne with a nice back rest.
You can buy as many drum widgets as you want; you only have one you! Protect your best investment.
I need a backrest for my Roadster D2000BR. Is it still available?
