Last night I hauled my gear out of the attic (finished attic where my kit is set up) and this morning my back is killing me. I know it's due to the hardware bag. I only had one heavy double braced boom stand, two snare stands, two cymbal attachments, and a throne and the thing was insanely heavy. It didn't include my hi hat stand because it's easier to not take it apart and honestly I can't figure out how to fold up the pedal. On top of that my "hardware" bag is a short ski bag so not exactly meant for holding drum stuff.
My issue isn't that I need a cart or rolling bag. It's literally picking up the bag to get in and out of the car and to and from my house. It's just way too heavy for me. Thinking about the new pearl flat based hardware or yamaha 600 series. Probably would go with hi hat stand, two cymbal stands, and one snare stand. Thoughts? Recommendations for a bag to go with it? I don't mind if I have to fold up all my hardware. Think this will serve as my gigging harware so I can keep it packed up.
