The Fame Hardware Bags offer a very good value opportunity to securely and comfortably transport your complete hardware set. The hardware bag with wheels not only has a large holding capacity, it is also absolutely robustly constructed and offers secure protection for stands and racks. The large handles are joined to the inside of the bag with bullet proof rivets, the extra wide wheels glide effortlessly across any ground. The tear resistant and water-resistant nylon surface won’t leave you out in the rain. To prevent against shock damage (or rough handling to compensate unmotivated roadies), the bottom is reinforced. Smaller accessories such as sticks, can easily be stored in the exterior pockets. Exceptional price / performance ratio!
I wanted a hardware case just for moving my drums between home and the rehearsal space, for the money the Fame hardware bag offered the best price and features, it holds all my hardware including a few spare stands and assorted bags and bits with ease and although heavy when fully loaded, the sturdy handles work well and the coasters make it easy to drag between the car and studio, for more serious gigging you might want to get a hard case for durability though, for now this works well and is not expensive so if it fails I would simply replace it with the same again, good case for the money and well worth it!
This bag can take all the hardware from a 4cymbal kit, throne etc but, you wont be able to lift it, luckily it has wheels so you can drag it. Buy two smaller bags and split your hardware!
Light cheap and very long (which might be off-putting for some but read on).
Got this as way of splitting my hardware to make it all the more portable.
It could do with a more solid base (it's only bendable hard or cardboard in there I think) but it's very light; exactly the reason I got it.
I was initially put off by the length (you'll need a big boot/small van/ estate car etc) BUT as I have one of these options I love that I only have to fold up my stand legs now. I can leave all but one of my stands at their set height. The only one I have to split now is the wind chimes stand. No biggy!
It's also big enough to fit the top part of my music stand in too!
The soft base isn't an issue for me as the stands themselves keep it solid when carrying/wheeling it.
I use a separate traps case for the more smaller separates (folded HH stand, BD mounted tom holder, tom legs, stick bag, wind chimes etc.).
So if you can handle the length and need a light, cheap traps case this is superb value for money...
And no, I don't work for the company; I'm a working, ageing drummer who doesn't want to trash my back anymore carrying really heavy traps cases around. Enjoy! :)
(Note to Manufacturers, FAME:
I wish you'd also make a shorter version with a solid base. I'd buy one straight away).
