Questions & Answers
Looking at your kit, it appears that you have two more cymbals than I do, excluding the hi hat... best of luck.
My bag came with a small sewn-in handle, not a strap.
All of the drum pads will fit, but the base drum might not. However, there is no way the rack will fit. You probably won't want to disassemble and reassemble the rack every time you move it, but it can be folded and carried that way.
Selected User Reviews For Gator Cases Large Electric Drum Kit Bag with Adjustable Velcro Divider System and Wheels; (GP-EKIT3616-BW)
One of the wheels was broken when it arrived. I ordered this on April 17th and it arrived on May 9th with no cushioning, packing paper, or air pillows. broken. During quarantine, I was unable to remove my drums from the studio, so to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. br>br>It probably cost less than $50 to make, based on my observations. The bag is well-cushioned, but the wheel mounts are made of thin, cheap plastic. I've asked for a replacement, but I doubt it'll last long if it arrives in good condition. br>br>Update: I'd like to point out that this did not come with the telescoping handle, and I discovered razor cuts while photographing it, as if it had been returned previously due to excessive box cutter use. br>br>Follow-up-on-up-on-up-on-up-on-up-on-up-on They quickly rectified the situation and sent me a replacement, which arrived in excellent condition. It was well-thought-out and modular when I used it the other day. If you're going to pull it on wheels, make sure you pack the bag so that the weight is distributed evenly. If it isn't fully loaded, it has a tendency to crush on the wheel side. To fill it up, I'll need more equipment;.
To be honest, I had high hopes for this case. Every Sunday, I perform on the edrums at my church. I needed a case so I could easily pack up my gear and practice at home during the week. Unfortunately, there isn't much specifically designed for carrying electronic drum kits around. I saw this and saw Gator and immediately thought of some of the other great Gator products I have, so I bought it despite the mixed reviews. THE BENEFITS: br>br>THE BENEFITS: br>br>THE BENEFITS br>At first, the bag pleased me greatly. It's roomy, light, and has plenty of pockets, as well as interchangeable inserts for customizing the main storage compartment. The bag is made of a heavy, padded material. The bag has a number of handles that allow it to be carried or pulled in a variety of ways. On one side, there are also two wheels. br>br>THE BAD: br>Wow, where do I begin? First and foremost, the image is extremely misleading. It gives the impression that the bag has an inner "skeleton" that aids in its shape retention. Wrong! The bag sags a lot, which causes a lot of problems, such as making it difficult to velcro the inserts to the inside of the bag (yes, the inserts are velcro). That's a minor annoyance to me, and I can easily overlook it. The bag's flimsiness makes it difficult to lift into the back of a car or up stairs, for example. Even with the inserts in place, if you lift it incorrectly, everything inside will shift to one end. Even this is a minor annoyance, but since the bag has wheels, it's only an issue when lifting it. Except that when you pull the bag on the wheels at an angle, it bends in the middle and drags. To make matters worse, the wheels are extremely small, and the sag in the middle sometimes prevents the bag from rolling at all. The bag's rolling feature is extremely inconvenient, and I'm not sure why it was overlooked during the design process. To keep the bag's shape, I believe I'll need to construct a pvc skeleton, as suggested by another reviewer. br>br>Overall, I believe this bag has a lot of potential, but it suffers from a number of serious design flaws.
This bag appears to be exactly what it says on the package. I wish it were a little longer to accommodate the cymbals, but I can use a cymbal bag for that. I can't comment on durability because I haven't had a chance to try it yet. When all of your drum pads are packed, this can be quite heavy. The Roland TDK30V kit is what I'm working with. I must say that the state of the bag I received astounded me. It appeared to have been in storage for a long time and was filthy. It had to be wiped down with a wet rag right out of the box because it was covered in a brown colored dust. The bag was filthy, so I deducted one star because it didn't appear to be a new product.
The wheel broke in less than two months. I bought this to transport a pair of Bose S1 speakers (15 pounds each), and it worked perfectly for about two months before one of the wheels broke. Once or twice a week, I roll it for about 30 feet total. I'll try to get in touch with Gator about getting a replacement. In the past, I've had great success with Gator products. br>Also, the Velcro strap that holds the handles together is too small to keep them together. This item may be useful for storing things, but it is not suitable for transporting them.
My Roland TD-2000 30 KV- With the exception of the Bass Drum and the sound module, PRO is a perfect fit. The fabric is thick and stiff, and the stitches and zippers are of high quality. The bag should be durable enough to last for a long time. In addition, the bag's padding, as well as the separators' padding, is thick enough to protect the equipment well. br>br>Until that point, I had been giving 5 stars. However, I deducted two stars because of the following three factors: 1) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I was disappointed (along with many others) to discover that my bag lacked the telescopic handle depicted in the photo. However, given the heavy weight of my TD30, I believe it would have broken after only a few uses (unless it was of exceptional quality). 2))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) The bag's underside isn't stiff enough, and it tends to curve when carried on its wheels. It curves so much that you have to lift the bag quite high off the ground to keep the underside from rubbing. However, I noticed that the bag's bottom lining (which has a zipper) can be removed. As a result, I'll reinforce it with a sheet of plywood or a metal sheet. 3) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Finally, the bag is a little too expensive for what it is due to the first two points. br>br>Conclusion: It appears that this is the only bag available for TD- 30 / TD- It costs $20 and gets the job done. So, even if it's a little pricey, you should not hesitate to buy it to protect your expensive equipment.
I received this case a few weeks ago and thoroughly examined it before concluding that there were no flaws. It does come with deviders, which you can place wherever you want. If it appears that I haven't used it yet, you are correct. Looking at it, I think I'll be able to fit all of the drums and cymbals in it, but the frame will require a separate case.
