Smallest car to fit a drum set

1975 Chevy Nova. Not the tiniest car, but considering I was able to stuff a double-bass, 8 piece Rogers set into it was an amazing demonstration of Tetrus ability. Of course, the advantage I had was this Nova was the rare hatchback version. Back seat folded down into one long cargo bed.[Attachment: 49990]

Do you still have the Nova? I have never seen that hatchback version. That's pretty cool~!

Very cool on the hatchback Nova BTW.

I Have a 2 door Toyota Tercel that I put a 22 12 16, snare cymbals,hardware in.

The ultimate rock ride IMO is one in which you can get your kit,half the bands backline,and a fat chick to the gig.

Back in the 90's, I used to haul my 24,13,14,18 with 5 cymbal stands & HH, cymbals throne and rug, in my '94 Nissan 300Z. With the back seats down, it was pretty spacious.

Today, I use my Navigator, when I'm needed. Nothing says carbon footprint, like a Lincoln!

Wish I still had it. It had a great optional accessory... a fabric tent/cover for the open hatchback that basically turned the cargo bed into a mini-camper. And yes that provided some memorable moments not requiring any further explanation.

The drums now travel in comfort in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Actually fits two timpani in the cargo area. And I don't worry about its carbon footprint; my wife releases more carbon dioxide everytime she sees another drum arrive at the door.

I fit my whole Slingy kit in the backseat of my Tundra, while it was eating a Challenger as a mid-morning snack.......LOL. (joke, don't send death threats, please.....LOL)

If you have a 4 door car with a good enough hatch area, you can fit an entire kit in the back and still have all of your seats free........as long as your kick isn't huge.
