Drumstick Bag Holder with Shoulder Strap and Floor Tom Hooks—for Sticks, Mallets, Brushes and Accessories

I purchased this bag to downsize from a Yamaha mallet bag that I had in college. It was really big, and honestly I just didn't need that much room to hold sticks. The compartments for your sticks are fairly snug, and spaced so that you don't get a ton of sticks in each slot. I view this as a good thing because it is easy to grab the exact stick you need if you drop one or have a quick stick change (maybe from a mallet to a stick). Plenty of extra pockets for keys, phone, pencils etc... although I will miss the larger mallet bag because I could just slide a full size notebook into it. This obviously won't allow it, but that would be like asking a dog to climb a tree. One of the neat features of this bag is that it actually has a small separate folded middle section that gives a little space to the bag when it's zipped up. This will help prevent your mallets from getting smashed up at the heads... it's a nice feature. The bag material feels pretty strong and looks like it will take a beating. As of this writing I haven't taken it out to a gig, but it will be tested soon enough. You know how those cheap nylon bags look and feel - they'll start fraying/pulling where they're stitched and eventually come apart. This Meinl bag should hold up much better. So yeah, I'll probably update this once get to road test it, but for the time being, it's holding my sticks well and feels solid... I'd be happy to recommend it to someone looking for a good quality stick bag at a great price! Best of luck to you all!

I ordered this after the zipper and handle on my flimsy vic firth bag broke and it is SO MUCH BETTER! It was able to hold 2 pairs of marimba mallets, bass 5 mallets, 3 pairs of Marching sticks, 5 pairs of concert sticks, timp mallets, brushes, as well as all of the extra sticks I would pick up after my section of high school freshmen. There is a pocket on the inside for a pitch pipe, and smaller ones for pencils. The outside pocket was great for stick tape, a drum key, and girly essentials like Chapstick and hair ties. The handle is well made, and the strap is even better! On days when you're taking home text books, a coffee mug, lunch box and a uniform, the strap came in handy because it just went over your shoulder and by your side. I absolutely love this stick bag, it is SO well made and definitely worth the price. It was cheaper than my vic firth bag that fit less and broke after a year. I suggested it to my whole section. I used this bag all of senior year and it's coming to college this year. I am SO in love! This bag is great for beginners, or for pros. I love it.

Since travelling with a performing group I have always been on the lookout for the perfect stick bag. I'll always have trouble calling something perfect because a truly perfect stick bag would carry all of the sticks that they sell, be as tough as a road case, as light a one pair of sticks, and would float mid air NEAR your floor tom... not quite possible even for the folks at Meinl. This bag has plenty of room for lots of sticks for the player who needs something for everything (I carry about 10 pairs of sticks, 2 sets of brushes and 2 sets of standard mallets). The bag's thickness is possibly one of its best features. It carries all of these with no problem at all. All finishes, the strap, handles, zipper, front pocket, inside pockets, and padding are quite high quality. All of them have lasted me for a few months and thats usually the threshold at which other bags have failed. I have carried a ProMark bag rigged with a duct tape loop instead of a strap clip and both DW and Zildjian bags that the top was open at all times due to zipper problems. I feel safe in saying that this bag will stand the test of time whether its in the hands of the music student, garage band player, local venue player, or even a traveling player. I am so glad I've found the bag for me at a price that won't make me cringe. This bag is easily the best for the money and very surely on the top of the shortlist of bags to consider when purchasing.

I bought this bag mainly based on the reviews from other users. Like others have said, the bag holds A LOT. The pocket on the outside is perfect for holding my in-ears headphone vault and the inside pocket is perfect for drum keys or other wrenches you may need. The stick pockets are great and easy to pull sticks from on the fly. I currently have 7 pairs of sticks, 2 pairs of rods, 1 pair of brushes, and 1 pair of soft mallets and there is still plenty of room for more! The bag appears to be made very well, heavy stitching, and great hardware make me believe this bag will last a very long time. The zippers are larger heavy duty style that won't bind or break very easily and It has hooks on adjustable straps to hang on a floor tom. Plus there are no metal rivets or grommets that will scratch your drum's finish.

excellent mid-size stick bag. fits more than a few pair of sticks, several pairs of brushes, couple of mallets ... floor-tom hanger strings, various few pockets for drum keys, cymbal protection, metronome, etc., including outer one (velcro'd) big enough for a small umbrella/water bottle ... no doubt this will eventually age, and I won't be shocked if the hangers eventually rip (though they'd likely be reparable) ... only thing that could make it a failure is if the zipper goes ... but so far, so good, I dig this stick bag

I really like this drumstick bag and I guess at least one other person did too since my previous bag of the same model was stolen from a gig. I purchased the same model bag because I like the quality of it as well as the various pockets / compartments. it works really well for my needs and would buy again.
