  • We’ve featured a lot of great gear on Sounds Like a Drum over the course of the last few years but one of the most important aspects of making use of this gear is protecting it for transportation. We’re longtime fans of (and owners of products by) MONO Case and trust our gear in their cases. In today’s video we cover all aspects of the M80 Cymbal Cases and Studio Stick Case.

    I have the Mono M80 22" bag and the M80 stick case. Literally the best cases I've ever had. Unbelievable quality

      i gotta ask, does this bag flopps down on the shoulders when u carry it with a bunch of cymbals on your back? or is it solid enough to maintain its height while carrying it?

    • @SoundsLikeADrum
      @SoundsLikeADrum  Před 3 lety +3

      @@Osagie98 Not quite sure what you're describing but it certainly holds form in transit with cymbals inside.

    • @jacobcooperlong
      @jacobcooperlong Před 3 lety +2

      They have a backpack strap plus a buckle which secures the backpack straps in position. If you're buckled into this thing, the case does flop around or move. It is on your back like glue. Hope this helps

    @weschilton Před 3 lety +2

    Its funny... I actually still have all three stick bags that I have ever owned going all the way back to 1974. The last bag I bought, way back in 1991, is a H&B Tuxedo bag that has served me well for decades. My first bag was a Ludwig branded silver vinyl and leather bag I bought from The Drum Shop in Houston, TX in 1974. My favorite is custom made all leather bag that was made for Jack's drum shop in Boston. My dad bout it for me in 1986 on my first day of class after getting in the Berklee College. :)

    In the past I've forgotten sticks before had to use pieces of branch I broke off of a bush outside it was awful but it worked. I've also gotten to a gig without a snare stand used the base drum case with other cases stuffed inside Never again do I rush to gigs I look over and put my hands on everything before I leave now.

    I've currently been using a Reunion Blues cymbal bag and it's AMAZING, but I've seen this company before on Amazon and other sites and I've always been interested in their stuff. I think I'll definitely be getting one of their stick bags at some point.

    Super happy with my mono cymbal bag. It has taken some beating and loading in and out of cars and venues, and it still holds up very well. I do occationaly carry my tama classic cymbal stands in the "extra pocket" together with a tackle stick bag and some extras without any problems. But hey, what hi hats are you using in the video? They sound amazing!

    Sexiest music intro ever! You guys are wicked cool at this channel. I gig a lot here in Japan around Nagoya. Fortunately I am able to usually drive my car with my gear, but quality cases are still needed when walking downtown. Japanese live venue spaces are cramped. Storing gear is similar to the tightness of a van. I've never seen Mono in Japan. Protection Racket cases are the best I've found and owned so far.

      @SoundsLikeADrum  Před 3 lety +2

      That’s quite the claim! Unfortunately, we can’t find anything online about Cornerstone and we’re quite happy with the quality of these- no need for custom, just want them to do the job and cover the necessities. On top of that, we love the aesthetic of Mono Case and they’re readily available around the world.
