i wanted a container with wheels that would hold my hardware without having to breakdown the hi-hat and cymbal stands and this bag, the longer one, does that. there are external pockets on both ends and one in the center, my stick bag sits in there. i like the straps on the inside that keep eveything from rolling around and breaking. i would have prefered snap releases on the straps instead of sliding the staps in and out of receivers but that's a small point. the bag isn't much lighter than a trap case like the upright ones with wheels but it's roomier and has the convienience of the outside pockets for "stuff" like extra parts. so far, after a half-a-dozen gigs i'm satisfied with the bag and the price is right.

Well,I must say that for now I am pleased with this gig bag.Before, I was rolling my hardware up in a carpet that I place under my kit when gigging,and that bad boy weighed a ton!! Now with the wheels it is so much easier to transport.Still weighs a ton though.But with the handles it makes it better handling my gear.I've had it for a couple of weeks now,and all is fine.I really can't say how long it will hold up..I believe the zipper will probably be the first to go.

This bag is perfect for drummers; easy to handle. It has wheels, handles all over the bag, and extra compartment for small accessories...

Nice size and weight. The wheels work great too. Very nice hardware bag
