The Liberty One Jumbo Mallet Bag, made of durable nylon, 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 than 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.

The bag itself is everything I hoped it would be. It can store dozens of mallets--from small to huge! The service from Steve Weiss Music was great! I had the bag in a couple of days. However, the first time it was used, the plastic hardware on the backpack straps broke, and it couldn't be used as a backpack to carry it.
super awesome bag, seams look good, zippers look pretty sturdy! holds almost everything .. great price .. fast shipping!! let's hope it holds up well and or is at least easy to repair only possible improvement we could suggest is staggering the bottom of the pockets (or rows of pockets) for the mallets so the heads rest further away from each other .. .!!!! plus maybe some dedicated like tile / RFID / pocket cuz once its full of mallets gooodllloord how much is that bag worth!!!??? anyway .. awesome!!! was worth the wait for the restock :)
I purchased this bag after owning a few other name-brand bags that fell apart. This bag is large enough to fit all the essentials for a freelance percussionist, light enough to carry (the backpack is a plus, freeing your hands to carry other things), and durable enough to stand travel wear and tear. It's also cheaper than similar name-brand bags.
Comes close, but, really, no place for pencils/pens? The pocket for sheet music is wide enough, but a bit thin. Some gussets would really help.
I would definitely recommend this bag to someone who is an experienced percussionist with a moderate mallet collection that isn't as huge as professionals'. It's plenty big to fit all the essentials for college percussion. I like the amount of space in the front pocket, and the backpack straps are a nice touch. I personally use the side handle instead of the backpack straps, but that's just me. I only wish there was a little bit of padding on the inside flap that covers the sticks and mallets. The rough nylon started wearing down some drum set sticks I have used a lot. Also don't try to stuff too many sticks and mallets in each pocket since the pockets are stitched pretty darn tight. One of the bottom pockets in the one I got ripped open after a couple weeks, but honestly that wasn't a huge deal for me since I usually don't open the entire bag to grab my sticks. Overall, very good for the price.
