Gator GP-DRUMCART - Hardware Cart Steel Frame

I looked for a long time to find a wheeled gear bag that would hold multiple instruments, stand vertically on its own without tipping over, and would have a zip-open lid AND a vertical zipper so it can be loaded from the top as well as the side. This Gator bag has all that, and has heavy duty zippers and multiple sturdy handles, as well as interior straps and some side padding.I have been able to carry all together: a ukulele, small dulcimer, and Ban-Jammer--all in soft cases,and a larger dulcimer without case. It is not large enough to carry a hammered dulcimer, however.The lid has its own zippered compartment and provides handy storage for smaller items like picks, tuners, capos, recorders, pens and paper.The 2 side pockets (8" x 23")could be improved by having a D-shaped zipper that would allow you to insert extra-long items that would protrude out the top of the side pockets. They are good, however for carrying compact folded music stands and umbrellas, long skinny instruments like flutes and whistles, as well as mics and cables.It would be nice if there were a zippered pocket on this bag big enough to hold sheet music. The front, bottom, zippered pocket would be a good place for that, but the one that's there is not large enough.The sturdy wheels carry the bag easily over curbs and across thresholds. The curved handle provides a place to hang a tote bag of music, a small folding stool and/or another small instrument.The handles on the bag are placed exactly where they need to be to make it easy to lift the bag and slide it into a vehicle wheels first, or to place it upright in a van (it will need to be secured if upright).Its small footprint takes up much less room in hallways, instruction areas, and concert set-ups than the larger shopping carts or beach carts, etc. that many others with multiple instruments use.The bag also protects your gear while loading your vehicle if it's raining lightly--haven't tried it in a downpour, yet!I'm so glad that I located this bag; it's been the best solution for easily moved, easily stowed, gear and instrument storage.

I have a large SKB hard case with casters that I lug around when I am using my heavy duty Yamaha 880 stands. 90% of my gigs don't require that so I bought some of Yam's ultralight Crosstown hardware and I can't endorse it enough...but this post is about the BAG.I didn't like that I couldn't use my double pedal with the ultralight HH stand and I don't like having to break all my stands down at the end of the night.This bag is plenty long enough to place 4 cymbal stands, 2 snare stands, HH stand and my Roc-n-Soc throne stand and there is still a ton of room. All the stands are left folded at height and not broken down.It is heavy (maybe 40#) but very manageable and easier to deal with than the hard case.The bag is made tough, good heavy zipper, shoulder strap and is padded inside like Gator drum cases.If you're a working drummer, consider investing in a similar setup. Your back will thank you!

This is a review of the Gator Cases Drum Set Hardware Carry Bag. I haven't hauled this bag to a hundred gigs, so please read this review with that in mind.It's a sturdy bag, but having such a long bag invites you to overstuff it. Don't do it - this bag seems to be built well, but it's not indestructible. I like that it fits a high hat stand without needing to break it down completely. Plus I can stick a throne in there without a problem. Make sure that the weight is distributed evenly, because it's an awkward shape to carry.

Was looking for a case for my telescope and the Orion cases were a rip off. The dimensions of this case fit the telescope and I liked the fact that there was some padding. When I received it, it worked well, although the padding is a little thinner than I thought it would be. Material is good and seems like it will last a long time. Overall it is a quality product. Even though it's designed from drum kits its a nice and cheaper alternative for larger telescopes.

I have had this bag for almost a year now, and so far it's still going strong (Average around 5-8 gigs per month). This has been such a back saver as I used to carry all my stands individually (3 or 4 trips down to 1). This thing is plenty tall, yet I can actually fit this in the trunk of a Corolla (longways left to right). I use a couple 3 piece/section cymbal stands with tom mounts. I have my tom mounts in the 2nd section, so for tear down, all i have to do is take off the cymbal arm, lower the top most section of the stand that controls cymbal height (which I have marked for setup), and collapse the legs of course, and it fits fine in the bag. This is what I put in the main compartment of this bag: 2 3-section stands with 3 tom mounts total (don't have to do anything to the tom mounts), a standard non boom cymbal stand, hihat stand, snare stand, my kick mic stand, and microphone stand. Then I can fit my cymbal boom arms and floor tom legs in the side pockets, and my cowbell and other stuff in the front bottom pocket. You can fit ALOT into this bag. It's heavy as hell lifting up into the car, but it's very doable. This was one of the best purchases I have ever made, and worth every single penny. Very sturdy, great for long hauls of equipment from car to stage, and easily maneuverable.

Bastante práctico y confiable. No se rompe. Asimismo el interior es de terciopelo, por lo cual se protege bastante bien el interior.Puedo llevar hasta 6 atriles grandes (2 de crash con clamps, HH, ride, china, tarola). De igual forma puedo llevar mis herramientas de percusión, como cencerros, jamblocks, etc.Recomendado.

Buena relación calidad-precio

Bom

Very roomy. Fits all cymbal stands and microphone stands too. Quality seems okay.

EASY TRANSPORTATION FROM HOUSE TO GIG. LOTS OF ROOM FOR HARDWARE.
