nice bag for hauling your gigging kit around, you already know they won't prevent catastrophe when those boneheads are helping you load up. bags really do make getting your kit into minimal spaces much easier..the pro 3's could use a little thicker padding but beato does have a good value product here!

There is no better value for protecting your drums. There might be slightly cheaper options, but Beato offers the top quality bags you can find. They are the right size too. I tried some bags that were for a 16" tom, but it barely, barely fit. It goes comfortably into the Beato, but it is not so loose that the tom slides around or anything.

I have used the Beato Pro 3 bags for a couple of years now. They fit great and provide the best protection I've ever seen. The heavy-duty, comfortable, and numerous handles make it easy to move my drums -- far easier than with hard cases. I considered going to hard cases, but quickly discovered that these bags offer thicker, more plush and more snug padding. I don't have to worry about amplifiers or other big items being stacked on my drums, so there is no reason to go with hard cases. These fit smaller places than the cases do and, again, the padding is clearly superior. If you are transporting your drums in a car or SUV, it would be insane to go with hard cases over these. Top quality protection.
