Gator Cases Protechtor Series Drum Set Hardware Carry Bag with Molded Plastic Base; 18" x 46" Interior (GP-HDWE-1846-PE)

Originally got the shorter version of this bag, and although it was fine I had to collapse most of my stands for them to fit, which is a pain since I've got memory locks set where I want them on a lot of them. Thanks to Amazon the return process was easy and I got this bag instead, which is exactly the same except longer. Now all my stands fit (including my hihat stand) without having to do much at all, which is a big timesaver. I'll also say the bag seems very well constructed (zippers are pretty thick and nylon exterior is also pretty thick and tough), and I expect it will hold up well as long as it's not abused or ridiculously overpacked. The padding is a little on the thin side, but hey, it's carrying hardware so who really cares? If I was on tour buses or other people were handling my gear I'd probably opt for something a little more substantial, but for my needs it's more than fine. Everything else I looked at was either substantially more expensive or looked more flimsy for the price, and this bag was the perfect compromise between quality, function, and price. I'd buy it again (hope I won't have to though) and plan on picking up some Gator drum cases as well in the near future.

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.

Got tired of lugging around my five piece Yamaha Stage Custom drum kit, heavy SKB molded/wheeled hardware case, and fully loaded Zildjian cymbal bag. Minimized down to a converted jungle 18” tom bass drum, Pearl Short Fuse snare, Yamaha light aluminum snare stand, PDP mini timbale tom w/ tom mount extension, PDP two legged hi hat stand w/a splash cymbal attachment above top hat cymbal, and an aluminum Iron Cobra Long Speed pedal. This Gator hardware bag’s perfect for my small kit. The canvas bag weave is medium weight though it's not a molded hardware case and works best for light transport. Great for my hi hat, cymbal, and snare stands. Can also fit an aluminum PA speaker stand and couple lightweight mic stands. For us mature drummers it’s a great hardware case for minimalist drum kits. Small kits can be mic’d as needed for different gigs, and/or use heavier drum sticks.

I bought a set of three Remo festival drums (1x Djembe, 1x Timbau, 1x Tubano), and they fit PERFECTLY nested inside this case by just removing one flip-top drum head. The case's molded base is very sturdy, and the wheels move freely. Padded velcro "seat belts" securely hold the drums inside the zipped case and protect them from items being stacked on or smashed into the drums stored inside. I will definitely be using three of these cases to bring a full set of hand drums to my internationally-held group drumming retreats.

Great, strong duffle bag. I use it for my drum hardware. It is so big I tend to put too much in there and have trouble picking it up :) Great deal!

As a working drummer I've used a SKB trap case for my drum hardware for many many years. I liked it, but I had to assemble and break down every single piece of drum hardware every night to fit it all in the SKB. After 10+ years of great service one of the wheels, and one of the latches fell off the SKB. I was looking to buy another hard case, but was shocked at the expense. $250+ for a hardware case really hurt. As I was searching around the interwebs I found this inexpensive bag on Amazon and figured I'd give it a try. I am really loving this thing. It's simple, but seems to be made well and is doing the job like a champ. I've done around 10 gigs with this thing so far and it still looks brand new. My setup and breakdown time at gigs has been significantly reduced because with the added height this bag has versus my old case, I can now keep some of my stands at playing height. This bag does not have wheels, but I have a small handtruck I never gig without, and this bag sits perfectly on the hand truck, and is even easier to wheel around them my old case was with it's built in wheels. Another really nice thing about the bag verses the hardcase is that at the gig when my kit is setup I can roll this bag to a very small size and throw it in my drum cases. The old hardware case was another big piece that would need to be hidden somewhere or loaded back into the trailer during the gig. The handles are heavy duty and comfortable to lift which is really important because as you can imagine when this thing is filled with drum hardware it is really really heavy. It also has a shoulder strap which is nice because it works great to get a good grip and balance when packing into my car. The shoulder strap gets in the way when packing and unpacking, but I discovered that it has a really nice easy to latch and unlatch mechanism. It's quick and simple to unlatch one side when packing and unpacking to get it out of the way. I was worried about the zipper giving out on me, and I am being careful with it, but due to the roominess of the bag I can fit all my hardware, plus a rolled drum rug, a towel, and a small stick bag in this thing, and still zipper it up easily without putting any stress on the zipper. I was very skeptical that such an inexpensive bag could do the job of an expensive hard case, but it really can.

Very poor design. The wheels broke after 3 trips. Find another option

La sacca è ben fatta, interno morbido e lunga quanto basta per inserire, per esempio, l'asta Hi Hat senza doverla smontare. Ho dovuto usarla insieme ad un altro amico batterista mettendo insieme le mie e sue meccaniche. Certo non avendo rotelle e fondo rigido il trasporto a mano risulta impossibile se non fatto in due o utilizzando un carrello (che non avevamo) ma è proprio qui che ha dimostrato la sua incredibile resistenza ad un peso molto elevato. Le maniglie rigide e le cuciture hanno tenuto perfettamente.

Funda resistente para transportar los soportes de los platos y demás hardware, incluso puedes meter el sillín sí no es demasiado ancho. Por el momento muy satisfecho con el producto.

シンバルスタンド3本とスネアスタンドにペダル なんならハイハットスタンドも丸ごと全て入ります 凄まじい収納力を誇ります しかし持ち上げる事は人間には不可能でしょう 縫製もしっかりしてます クッション性はありません ライブハウスや自宅で機材保管でホコリ防止にはこれ一つで済みまそうです 運搬メインで考えられるのでしたらスタンド4本づつの小ロットでケース２、3個に分けられた方が 良いかもしれません

Super geräumig. Genau das, was ich gesucht habe,um meine ganzen Percussion Sachen zu transportieren.
