Digression - but how do you deal with your T-rods getting knocked in transit?

By getting rid of the drum and going with key rods on its replacement!

I'm so glad I have some back-up on this! I have to play gigs like this more frequent than I like to admit. THIS is why I use heavy hardware with traditional tripods.
