I wanted a large, stand-up bag for concert and this one filled the bill! It holds a lot of mallets and they are easy to find quickly. It also has pocket space for music and other odds and ends. Back pack straps make for easy transport.

Nice big size to hold lots of sticks, mallets, and instruments. Love all the extra pockets. Backpack straps are nice. For increased transporting flexibility in the next version, "airport luggage style" wheels and a retractable handle for fully loaded bags.

Overall this is a nice mallet bag. The main thing that would make it better is if the zippered pocket was wide enough for a standard music folder. Seems like a real oversight to me.

This really is a tremendous product. It can carry everything I need even for the most complicated gigs. The only thing that would make it better in my opinion would be a retractable handle and wheels so I can pull the bag rather than carry it; the bag can hold so much that it gets heavy.

I wanted a bag that: 1.) stands up to put mallets in (don't have to unravel a bag, easy access) 2.) is sturdy and protective (not flimsy enough to break if accidentally crushed) 3.) has tons of space (this is huge. no two bags to lug around) 4.) holds music (the galaxy cylinder can not.) 5.) holds extra percussion items (the Freer bag has little extra space...can't fit tambourine well either) After trying many different bags and discovering what I wanted, this is clearly the best bet. Time will tell the endurance of it, but it seems to be fantastic...especially for the price.

Pros; It stands up well on its own, it has a ton of room for mallets/strikers, the main compartment unzips & opens/folds down with 4 easy access pockets (like how a traditional stick bag opens around a floor tom), great for long term storage space (esp. for large mallets). Cons; zippers are of cheaper quality than a bag this expensive merits, backpack straps on a bag this big & boxy make no sense at all... a collapsable handle & 2 high quality wheels should have been included, the deep pockets on each side are too narrow for much practical use. If you need a giant bag to hold lots of mallets, this is the biggest. I am using it for general storage (rather than transport to gigs) of mostly large gong & bass drum mallets as well as a variety of other strikers/ mallets / sticks/ homemades / non-traditional implements. Boom.

I love this bag. Bought it as an undergrad to hold mallets, instruments, and accessories all in one place, it does it great! LOTS of pockets, and incredibly versatile in what it can hold. A great buy!!

SO this thing is huge, right? So huge that no matter where you go someone always says "wow that's a big case, looks heavy" You get used to it This bag is heavy, this bag holds everything, this bag is essentially my child now and I love him. I keep about 18 sets of mallets, 8+pairs of sticks, 6 pairs of timpani mallets, a set of triangle beaters, a set of pitch changing mallets for vibes, a shaker, two over ear headphones, a few aux cords, a metronome, back up phone charger, two drum keys, a few dog stickers, six methods books, a few marimba solos, loose sheet music, and some tape in this thing and boy howdy do I love every second of it. It comfortably fits. Admittedly, I could be over packing but I do use everything throughout the week Solid investment, love this thing, would recommend to locals on the street, durable as hell It looks cool too Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

I've been looking for ages, and this is the best thing I've found to date. I wanted a bag that would stand up and allow me to leave my mallets in the bag. This bag does that. I can get my mallets, tambourine, triangle, and a few other accessories in the main chamber (after removing most of the velcro dividers), shakers, claves, and train whistle in the front zipper pocket. However, the side pockets are not gusseted, so I can't really put anything in those. You can only put really flat items in there. The elastic separators that might have been ideal for triangle beaters are too high.Maybe you could get standard drumsticks in there. This bag would be golden and get a 5 if the side pockets were deeper. Definitely a step in the right direction.

The size of the bag is great. However a flaw exists in the dividers. The divider piece has a middle divide section that is too large for the bag itself and thus can't be adjusted and is bent as it was crammed inside. At this point the divider is useless and will end up being removed.

This is really overkill... BUT... this is the best for all the extra stuff that I need to carry; playing shoes, delicate sound effects, small stuff easily stolen. The really great thing is the top flap folds over and has several slots built in to hold the sticks for quick changes. Since the bag stands on its own, all this is in easy reach. Fabulous.

This new bag by Liberty One/Steve Weiss is phenomenal! I've been using the Freer vertical stage soft case for a while now, and it's great bag, but this bag can hold so much more! I've been carrying a stick/mallet bag and a timpani bag separately, but now I only need one bag. The side pockets are great for small bell mallets and triangle beaters. The bottom front pocket is perfect for holding tools, ear plugs, etc.. I highly recommend this bag so far. I will need to update this after a year to see how it last, but so far it's amazing!

Just got the bag yesterday- so we'll see how it holds up BUT, this bag is PERFECT for me! First, it stands up- really well. It was not shipped flat it is designed like carry on luggage. Second, it's a back pack- straps are adjustable and there is a chest strap for added comfort. Third, when opened I can really SEE all of my mallets and sticks plus the top flap can house the mallets/sticks you are using for performance. Finally, four outside pockets for storage are well placed and very useful. The pocket designed for your laptop/pad has too much pressure on it because of all my mallets but, I can easily use for music. Overall I am VERY PLEASED with this purchase- it is a BIG professional percussion bag designed PERFECTLY! Shipping from Steve Weiss was as usual very quick and with tax this bag was about $100- I think it was well worth the money. I'll post later about any durability issues. Thanks Steve Weiss for always supplying excellent percussion products.
