Bulky, not so solid but very helping
I use this hardware bag for gigs to carry drum hardware since about 3 months now.
It is a huge bag, i usually use it two ways:
*using it to carry a 4 piece drum set hardware, I fit in two cymbal stand, snare stand, hi hat stand, drum throne, bass drum pedal, floor tom legs, tom arm and a custom drum rug(smaller size)
*with a smaller set up, carrying a hi hat stand, drum throne, bass drum pedal, cajon pedal adapter, snare stand and drum rug
Pros:
-it can carry a huge amount of things
-it is a good looking bag
-the additional pocket make it very functional
-solid zip and bag material
-it seems to be really waterproof
Cons:
-it has a big board inside the base o the bag, making it bulky to fit in cars or carrying it around
-not solid:
*the base board has already broken resting the bag loaded vertically
*the handle has fold in the handle hoops
-difficult and not easy to carry when loaded
Summary:
it is a good bag for the price, and does it job. Only if you want to purchase one look after the fact that it takes huge place and handling issues

Great mid-sized hardware bag
This bag easily handles all of your hardware. Convenient straps and handles make it easy to transport your heavy gear.
I like it because I have a bad back and the good thing is you can"t overload it. I have a 7 pc kit and bought two of these to handle all the hardware and have had no problem so far.

Good All rounder
We bought this for some of our drum hardware in the band, for bringing it to and from gigs. It was a good workhorse for a time and I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a cheaper and lighter alternative to solid cases.
Pros: Lightweight, lots of storage space and good solid handles.
Cons: Got ripped to absolute shreds over time. The first thing to go was the zips and it just went downhill from there. Drum hardware is obviously heavy and "pointy" so these two things coupled with being thrown around the back of the van and in and out of venues meant that this bag was destined to be destroyed!
Verdict: Would recommend as a short to medium term solution to transporting hardware but in the long run you'll have to invest in tougher gear. Would also recommend if you aren't gigging on a regular basis and would be using it maybe once a week.

Awesome and huge
I bought this bag to carry my electronic drums, I was able to fit an entire Yamaha DTX450 (including the throne, kick pedal, single pedal and a snare stand), my drum carpet and I still had space to put even more there, the build quality is awesome and the reinforced bottom panel is just so well thought. I understand some people saying that it would be nice to have some levers next to the side pockets to carry it in two, but I think that's not a great idea, if you are carrying a lot of weight there the reinforced bottom panel could break (I guess), that's why they have it as it is.

Good bag if taken care of.
This is a good hardware bag. It has served me well with my hardware going from gig to gig. It fits nicely in most car boots with toms and snare, cymbal case and a few other bits and bobs. It could use some handles on each end where the pockets are to make it easier for two people to carry.
I used this to transport a cajon and some other hardware when going to Spain for 3 weeks of gigs. It picked up a small tear in the top right hand side somewhere along the way. I suspect this was caused as a result of luggage handlers and not a flaw in the bags design.
If you mind it and don't over load it with sharp edged stands it will get you by.
It fits my needs well for the moment until I can purchase a hardcase.

Massive bag! My whole bands stuff fits.
This bag is just awesome. I’ve managed to fit my drum hardware without re-adjusting heights. I just now close the hardware legs and throw them straight to this bag. Awesome product

Really sturdy, but almost defeats it's own purpose
Like the majority of millenium products this is very well made and I would recommend it.
There are two small issues however:
1- Because hardware is universally rather heavy, if you fill this over half full, it becomes almost too heavy for one person to lift. Not necessarily the fault of the manufacturers, but an issue nonetheless.
2- a similar issue that makes it similarly difficult to carry is that the straps don't offer any protection for your shoulder and if the bag is heavy it can be painful.
In summery: good, cheap bag, very strong, recommended onlyy if you don't intend to fully fill it up. If you do then opt for one with wheels.

Heavy Metal!
This cheap traps case is pretty good if you're a casual mover. The only thing I would say is, as it's pretty big you may be tempted to put a lot in it. You will soon find out that you will have bitten of more than you can lift! At this price get 2 and lighten the loads.

A little flimsy.
This is a big bag and there is a temptation to fill it!
This would be a mistake as the handles are pretty basic and there is no shoulder strap. The base is hardboard I think and this stops your hardware eating its way out. There is a tendency for hardware to occasionally catch and make holes in the lining. Having said that we have used it to take hardware to music school maybe 30 times and there is no sign of structural failure.

Does The Job
Overall a great case and can hold a large amount of hardware. Quality is great and the case is padded keeping the hardware more protected. The only real downside to this case is that there are know wheels and hardware being so heavy it can take a lot of muscle to carry around if your gigging with the case, especially if your in an up stairs venue.
