Open Box Gator GP-Standard-100 Padded 5-Piece Standard Drum Bag Set Level 1 Black

Love zipper and the closure

I would have given 5 STARS if they would take my useful hint listed in my review!! I no longer tour the Country or World, I'm now in the twilight of my mass playing days...a couple weekends a month, along with a 1 nighter here and there. These bags do a really good job. Now my useful hint, mentioned at the beginning!! My recommendation is to take a USED HEAD or just cut a fairly stiff piece of Cardboard to the size of which ever Shell you're going to use for which ever Bag and place it in the BOTTOM OF THE BAG. This is a HUGE help keeping the bag from folding down on you when you're placing your Shell back inside the Bag....not to mention, if you happen to be using Wodden Rims on any of your shells, this will give you just a touch more protection. I also use a Towel to wrap my shell as well....yeah, I know, maybe a little overkill...think about it though. Wheather you are using a really inexpensive set if you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro, unless you're endorsed by the brand you play and can get replacement shells for free, YOU'VE WORKED HARD HARD TO BUY YOUR KIT.......YOUNG OR OLD BEGINNER OR PRO!!! Vast improvements have been made to these bags since they were first introduced and for the price and the amount I've slowed down gigging, these bags are WELL WORTH THE $$$. So, give your Bags some Head.....at the bottom to keep them from going limp and you'll be good to go. Just don't plan on using these touring the world......unless you want to pack your shells in these BEFORE placing them INSIDE your TRUE ROADCASES OF CHOICE!!!

These drum bags appear to be well made and with enough padding to properly protect my new drums. I'll be using them on the road soon.

It would be hard to beat for the price

A-OK!

This was a Christmas gift for my musician son who wasn't sure if his drums would fit. They do fit and with plenty of room to easily fit little attachments. I think the padding threw him off but this set is perfect! Said the zippers zipped easily and felt really sturdy. Glad I decided on this set-I think it will serve him well for many years gigging!
