Reviews

Early adopters beware
I cannot, in good faith, recommend this cart. The concept is there, but the execution is lacking. Getting the hardware bag loaded is difficult to say the least. There are 2 of the magnetic holders and 2 slots on the cart. These have to be lined up perfectly to sit the hardware case on the cart. If fully loaded, you'll need a couple of people to get it on there correctly. The other issue is you have to lift the bass drum bag halfway up the cart to get it loaded, once it's loaded the bag bows away from the cart due to the weight which causes its own issues. I have my opinion on the bags as well, but for the sake of this review, I'll stick to the cart. The other issue I found with this cart is the smaller wheels. The wheels have locks and it's easy to engage these by mistake. If that occurs and you pull the cart, the wheels will very quickly wear before you know what's happening.

Once loaded, conceptually it's a great idea! It's easy to maneuver and even assists transport on small obstacles such as a curb, as it is easy to tilt and get the back wheels up on the curb.

Once they work out these issues, I think it'll be a decent product, but the other obstacle is the price. There are much cheaper options out there that fold and compact much better than this product, but you do sacrifice the ease of unpacking the drums while still attached to the cart. If you have a trailer, with a ramp and you can leave all the bags permanently attached this may be a great option. But for the gigging Drummer, I'd look elsewhere. Early adopters should be aware.

Do you gig out? We certainly do, and that's why Sweetwater is happy to offer a full line of Gruv Gear products. When it comes to gig bags, backpacks, soft cases, and other travel-ready essentials, these guys make the best your money can buy. We know, because we use everything from their unbelievably supportive GigBlade guitar bags to super-convenient FretWraps bass string dampeners all of the time. Whenever we meet with our friends at Gruv Gear, we learn new and compelling things about their products that make them easy to recommend. If you're looking for on-the-go gear you don't have to worry about, talk to your Sweetwater Sales Engineer about Gruv Gear.
