Hey Guys.

I'm looking for a hardware bag.

What I carry is 3 cymbal stands, 2 snare stands, Hi-hat stand, 2 bass drum pedals, a stick bag, and potentially a throne (if I can find one that breaks down small enough that I like).

I have found these 2 bags that are in the price range I am thinking.

I like the size of this bag because I would not need to break down my hi-hat or the cymbal stands, just fold the legs and it just has more room. It also has straps inside but I do not know if I would use them. It goes for about 90 bucks.

What I like about the 2nd bag is the way the top unzips. Seems like the wide open top would make loading and unloading easier. It also seems to look a little nicer (may just be the way it looks more square) but really it is just going to get beat up anyway. It goes for about 97 bucks.

I'm leaning towards the bigger bag because of the convenience of not breaking the stands down and if I need more room, I can collapse the cymbal stands to get more room.

Has anyone had any experience with these bags or have suggestions in this price range?

Thanks,

Wes
