I used this bag A LOT in the year that I've had it. Good features and a good size, not huge but big enough for a lot of stuff. I utilized all the pockets and I know how to take care of my stuff. Anyways one of the straps broke off the bag (which happens with the vic firth bags too) and the zippers are NOT I REPEAT NOT SELF repairing. Both the stitching on my sheet music pocket came out and my MAIN zipper just broke. It didn't just fall off, the zipper itself is popping off the fabric (the metal pieces are bending and breaking off). I've never seen anything like it. But it's pretty much the industry standard of bags this and the vic firth. If you play weekends it should hold up but if you travel everyday and have it filled good luck. You will definitely break off one of the shoulder straps and good luck with the zippers. It also fills up pretty quick. I would invest in more as I should've done. My colleagues have had better luck with the vic firth (even though similar problems but just take longer to occur) and IP. Also Tuxedo makes a great bag! Hope this helps those looking for a upgrade!

This is an awesome bag. I'm actually in the process of buying another one as I live in both Dallas and Chicago and have started playing in both places. I was going to go with a cheap bag, but that just felt dirty. Honestly, if you are an active drummer, you carry your stuff back and forth all the time. You wouldn't wrap your cymbals with a towel or throw your toms in pillow case, would you? Well, I can play drums without a tom and even without a cymbal...but not that great without sticks!!! So get a bag that lasts and represents the type of professional you are...or want to be.

It is large, durable and, cool looking. Inside has 2 rows for sticks and 2 pockets. Outside is just like the Vic Firth stick bag. Only downside no logo.

I'm a high school student who got this for my birthday a few months ago. This bag is great for the traveling percussionist. The pockets are plenty and durable, the material is smooth and forgiving, and the space is generous. Get this bag!!!

This is a great bag. Its strong, sturdy, and made out of good material. When I bought it I was wondering if it had any inside pockets for my drum keys, metronome etc.. It does. Its a huge bag, and I have yet to find uses for many of the outside pockets. This is a great bag, I was and still am very impressed with the quality. If you need a good bag that will last you a long time get this right away.
