Liberty One Mallet King - Backpack Mallet Bag

Comments:

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!

I have owned this bag for almost 2 years now as my daily driver. I do not baby it. I have used it with and without the dividers. I generally have roughly 25 pounds of stuff in it at all times. This thing is all I need for 99% of everything I do. And yet, with constant use day in and day out while being overweighted, there are no rips and no signs of failure. Zippers, straps and everything else looks and acts as though I bought it yesterday. If you are looking for your one stop shop to bringing a healthy amount of gear anywhere, this is the bag I can't recommend highly enough. I have tried and daily driven almost a dozen various mallet bags and this one takes the top for me every time. P.S. a lot of people say the side pockets are useless. I use them to store my go to triangles (one on each side) but have also used it for things like triangle beaters, conga wrenches and other durable small things. Personally, the slim nature of them really helps me know which triangle is where, so I kind of stopped looking for other things to put in them after a while.
