Then the question arose: How do I transport this Goliath? The Snare Tom’s and the Tom Tom’s are easily carried, weighing between 17 and 37 pounds.
The bass drum, however, with its up to 110 pounds (22″ shell), is much heavier. A stable flight case with sack barrow-like wheels, as built and shown, is therefore indispensable. With this you can move the bass drum anywhere with ease, even stairs are no hindrance.
To load and unload the bass drum from the flight case you need someone to lift it. Bass players who are used to big combos with 15″ or 18″ are especially well suited for this task and have a heart for „big things“.
