Slick. Very professional looking.

Congratulations on making the jump! I realize that after all these years of having one, I've never really worried about where I've had to park because I know I'll get it in in one trip. The cart is invaluable and it's just part of the gear that goes along for the ride regardless!
Thanks Bo and thanks for the heads up on the cart! My kit had to wait in the wings a while for the first band to finish up and it was great having it all together in one chunk! Plus I did have to park way down the street,
This friday I will be in a parking garage I believe, so we see how she handles hills. I need hand brakes!
I recently bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Einhell-Folding-Truck-90Kg-Capacity/dp/B001GU6FYI/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1 on the back of this conversation. Waiting for it to arrive!
Carry... put as much in my sonor big box that I reinforced with Gorrilla tape..just got a rack...my set-up time due to way too many cymbals is 1.5 to 2 hours depending on what I'm micing at each venue...since getting rack I cut cymbals down to 11 (counting hats as 1 so really 12)and accessories (blocks,chimes,bells)down a bit to 5, for a total of about 17 pieces go on rack with most of the mounts and stands left on, haul it in truck, it takes 2 people to carry, but unfold it and just mount everything. It has knocked off a good 15-20 minutes..my goal is to get it to an hour set up time. maybe a cart will help go from 5-6 trips to truck down to 1 or 2.
Wow. Please tell me your shows are over two hours long!
Picked up two of these at Big Lots for $24/ea. www.movemaster.com I tried them and they work great. They take up a lot less room than my regular dolly and I can get all my drums in one trip. I have pics but I can't seem to post them right now. I'll do it when I am able.
Yeah, doing the club circuit 4 hrs. thats 4- 45 minute sets the real fun begins after the show tearing everything down and taking it back to where we practice...usually get home after 3am and thats the close gigs...we got one coming up thats almost 2hr. away...I would say @ 48 I'm getting to old to be out til 4-5am but somehow this all keeps me feeling young!
Those look nice, but what if you have to go up or down hill?.
