5-10 minute setup !!

[tkroeker]

Last year I decided I was tired of the lengthy set up time, so I did this...

**Everything stays setup except the pedals/ snare and HiHat

**It fits through a standard door opening

**Just use a covered trailer.

that's ingenious, I'm guessing you have help to load and unload.......

Yes. Theres usually someone. lol the empty section has wheels on top so it can be flipped over to roll longer distances.

Great idea!! Here's a bigger platform:

nothing worse than setup and tear down. But I don't know if I could leave my kit like that and put it in the trailer feeling comfortable about it. Accidents happen

[drummer]

Wow, I'll bet that case was around 5 grand!

[tkroeker]

I commented on that a while back with reference to mine also. Great piece. I cant believe more pro artists arent doing it. Set up and tear down is so redundant. Again great case !

Great ideas, if you gig a lot!....and have help.
In that larger case, are the sides and top removed for gigging, bolted back on after and rolled onto a semi trailer? Doesn't appear to have enough structural stiffness to be a towable trailer, unless it'll be ramped onto a trailer base/frame with wheels, etc.

I only gig about 4-5 times a year but it came in real handy for the studio this weekend... I was being charged time for load in and out and set/tear down.

Not to mention that "getting everything " to the sweetspot.

LOL

I've never played any place a box that size could fit through he door.

all the best...

Click the very first link of this thread. Mine is in sections that fit through a door

[markthechuck]

that's a great time saver.

i bet it's lovely when it's time to break down after a gig, "see ya lads!"

[js218]

How are the drums and stands connected to the platform???????

Wire tie downs at stand bases screwed to the riser. Kicks same from spur screws.

being charged tear down and set up times too? That sucks.

We played 98 shows last year. Just missed the 100 mark. We're on schedule to hit 100 this year. So time consuming.

Love being done first

That's pretty standard around here.

Can't say that I do a lot of sessions but to charge for loading in sounds pretty harsh. I've been to two very busy professional recording studios in Nor-Cal and both allowed one free hour to load-in and set up the kit.

^^I didn't see the 2nd bass drum! Wow....brilliant idea!

[tkroeker]

Fits through a standard doorway
