This mallet king bag is an amazing item, it holds lots of sticks/mallets and is very quality in the build. I am very pleased with this.

I've looked for a good stick & mallet solution for a while, this one ticks almost every box. I got the large size which holds my orchestra sized folder inside as well as my laptop/iPad. I keep pencils, erasers, and earplugs in one pocket. Tuning fork, surf wax, and drum key in another. The six pockets of organization are good enough for me - marimba x2, timpani, xylo, sticks/brushes + "as needed" pocket. Definitely stands up on it's on. It's big for sure and feels kind of like carrying a box on your back, but it's worth it and has a solid handle if you don't want to carry it in backpack mode. It might fit in an overhead bin on a plane as a carry-on but not for sure, so check measurements. Definitely wouldn't fit under a sit and it's sturdy but not sturdy enough for me to check.

I love this bag! I always take too many sticks and mallets to rehearsals, so this works well for me! The internal separators allow me to organize groups of sticks and mallets. And the the pockets on the front fold-over flap give me quick access to the things I'm actually expecting to use at a specific rehearsal or concert. This is exactly what I have been looking for! I only have one suggested improvement. Make the inside of the external pockets any color other than black (grey, blue, red, green). That would make it easier to find small items in those pockets.

I have been using various bags of various types over the years (including its little brother) and I wanted to wait on reviewing this until I had a few years of experience with it. I Think this bag is the closest to what I want so far on the market. I like the backpack straps and I enjoy the space. I am able to hold just about everything I would need on a day to day basis, be it jazz combo/big band, orchestras or various nonwestern musics I participate in. I can easily fit my music and laptop and even a water bottle for good measure. I usually fill this thing up to 25 pounds and it has taken quite a bit of abuse from day to day walking and such. Last night was the first point of failure where a strap adjuster broke after a multiple foot hop down from a van while fully loaded. I can talk about this bag all day. I get comments all the time about how great the bag is or how this bag would get too heavy for some. I personally don't mind the weight as it stops me from having to deal with multiple bags or make other compromises in my daily logistics. This is the bag that made me stop looking for another option. I know it won't be the style for some, but this is right up my alley in so many ways.

Very well made bag with lots of outside and inside pockets for just about everything you would need. It holds all my mallets with room to spare. I can even fit my Ipad and tambourine in the bag. However, for some people this bag maybe a little to large. It's about the size of carry on luggage. But if you need a big bag, this is it!
