Liberty I Jumbo Mallet Bag With Backpack - Product Information

The Liberty I Jumbo Mallet Bag, made of high quality hemp material, is superior to almost all other mallet bags. Additional padding has been added to the walls of the bag to provide extra protection for your sticks and mallets.

A large front pocket allows the carrying of sheet music, method books or accessories. Top and side handles allow the bag to be carried in any orientation. Detachable backpack straps are also included, allowing unprecedented carrying flexibility.

The spacious interior features 12 pockets (in 2 rows), that will allow you to fit a lot of mallets. This bag is slightly smaller then the full size tour bag, which makes it much more manageable without sacrificing too much carrying capacity. Interior hooks allow the bag to be hung from an instrument.

Closed Dimensions: 16" x 21"
Open Dimensions: 32" x 21"

Good idea, poor execution

Comments: First off, the bag I received is made of nylon, not hemp. Was a little disappointed about that. The bag is a good size, though slightly on the large size. The pocket layout has this beautiful design in that the back pockets are not as deep as the front pockets, which gives you 2 levels of mallet heads (which can be turned into even more levels if you are smart about what mallets go in which pockets). The major flaw I find with the pockets is their small size. I really favored my old vic firth stick bag's layout in that it had several large pockets for most of your mallets with a couple smaller ones if you want something isolated. This bag just gives you a lot of small pockets, which I find aggravating since all the pockets are much tighter around the mallets. If you fill a stick bag, the pockets don't need to hold the mallets in place. The second problem I have with this back is its protective mallet flap. The flap is made of the same material as the rest of the bag, which isn't exactly easy on yarn mallets. If the flap and the material behind the mallets isn't covered with something easier on yarn, then the flap is useless and just taking up space. A related issue is the amount of padding in the bag. I don't see a need for padding on stick bags since the bag is still flexible. The padding just takes away from its overall carrying size. The shoulder straps are nice. The bag has more of a back pack flavor to it. Two problems (although extremely minor) have surfaced for me. The weight of the bag will pull the strap out to full length if you only have one strap over a shoulder (as is a common thing to do) and the straps, although detachable, use a fairly unique design, making it near impossible to use straps from other bags to turn the bag into a messenger style bag if you wanted to do so. Lastly, the durability of the bag comes into question: out of the 5 bags owned by members of my percussion studio, one has become somewhat transparent from wear after less than a year and 2 have had zippers break within the first year. I have had mine about 2 months, so I haven't had these problems yet.

Not a good option

Comments: This bag looks great on-line! It's very durable, and the backpack straps are handy. The problems with this bag are in the design... The back pockets are about 3" deeper than the front pockets, which doesn't sound like it would be a problem, except if you're ever trying to carry around 2 tiers of mallets & sticks, there's no way to protect your yarn mallet heads from constantly getting smashed into, no matter which tier they're in (back or front). This bag would be great if the depth of the pockets were reversed, so that the heads of mallets, sticks, etc, in the front pocket, would rest well below the heads of mallets and sticks in the back. The current design makes this bag a MUST NOT buy-- you will seriously regret it if you need this bag as your primary "jumbo" gig bag.

My perfect mallet bag

Comments: I usually carry a lot of mallets with me, always two pairs of each kind, several pairs for each instrument (marimba vibes, glock and xylophone). This bag has room for all the mallets i need to bring and I can also fit my sheet music and such in the front pocket. Best of all, it's a backpack, not a shoulder bag which is perfect for me who walks to rehearsal. I recommend this bag for any percussionist who often need to bring many mallets. Really no point if not.
