Drum Buddy Snare Drum Carrier - Product Information

The seasoned parade drummer and the aspiring student alike will love the DrumBuddy, an affordable, lightweight and comfortable marching snare drum holder. In the past, the only way to march with a snare drum was either to use the modern marching drum with holder or a traditional snare balanced with a strap or sling. DrumBuddy has essentially combined the two concepts, creating a much less expensive alternative.

The DrumBuddy was first created for the Middle School age group to remedy the shortage of adequate marching percussion equipment. Soon after its development, it was clear that the DrumBuddy had a far wider range of use than first anticipated. The traditional parade drummer will appreciate the lightweight design and a younger player can simply add their existing drumset snare drum to this carrier and march around the negihborhood.

The DrumBuddy consists of a chest plate and drum tray made of lightweight, high impact plastic attached to the player by a polypropolene harness, similar to the new saxophone straps that go around the chest. The diameter of DrumBuddy (17") allows all modern snares (which range from 13" to 15" in diameter) to fit with extra room for the drum's hardware. The DrumBuddy requires no special tools for assembly or adjustment. Installing the drum is as easy as placing it on a table, and the harness is simple to put on and adjust. Led by a passion for quality, the development of the DrumBuddy went through 10 prototypes over a two year period. This long process of combining the right design with the right materials assures that DrumBuddy is an effective, dependable product and is 100% manufactured in the USA.

Snare Drum is not included with the DrumBuddy Carrier.

Needs modifications!

Comments:

The Drum Buddy is a good idea, but I will not use it again on a gig and would not recommend it unless it gets modified. I used a similar setup found in the promotional photo: snare drum and attached cymbal. The gig was a parade, which lasted about an hour and a half. We were walking at a casual pace, but certainly nothing rigorous. The comfort foam, between the base and waist is attached with 2 small Velcro squares. It lasted about 1 minute before it fell off. The main concern was with the plastic tray. It bent forward making it uncomfortable to play. By the end of the gig, I was seriously concerned it was going to snap in half. The weight was not in any way excessive. If the tray is reinforced or redone with a strong metal or metal components, it would be fine. The comfort foam is a nice touch, but it needs to have another means of attachment because the current one does not work.

Drum Buddy snare carrier

Comments:

The carrier is sturdy, but the drum still weighs it down too much so it leans forward when my student wears it. It is not super stable when she marches.

Drum Buddy is a good buddy

Comments:

I used Drum Buddy to march in a parade on the 4th of July about a week ago and it worked very well. I hit a couple rim shots by mistake but it worked just fine. I was able to use my 5 1/2" by 14" snare drum from by drum set so it was nice and light. You can even position the drum forward or back in the carrier by a couple inches if your snare drum is 14". It's very well made.

Awesome! My 12 yr. old has been practicing twice a week since the beginning of the school year on a stand but needed a carrier for the upcoming parade. The teacher didn't recommend a harness due to the heaviness so the Drum Buddy will work perfectly. Furthermore this $aved me from having to buy a marching snare drum. Thanks!
