Portable Kits That Can Be Handcarried?


I am looking for the best portable kit on the market under £GBP400 $USD720.

For portability, i am looking to carry some kit on my back, and carry some kit with one in each hand.

The components are drum shells/heads, hardware/accessories and cymbals.

I have already looked at:


Traps A400
Pearl Rhythm Traveller (Is this feasible?)


I can't think of anything else.

Can anyone also recommend a case customiser that can make gig/soft bags for the drums, cymbals and hardware. Cost estimate? I am the UK at the moment.

I am intending to sell out and move on and live in another country, and will be using public transportation in destination country, that is the idea behind hand carry portability.

Any recommendations or ideas would be great! Thanks in advance.

zap98, check out these sites:

I use SKB drum cases, their a bit pricey, but worth the money.

Its the weight factor thats the problem your going to end up in hospital with a bad back...a drum kit i would go for practicality the "traps drum kit" looks a good kit
Alternatively if you know four mates with motor bikes its possible to transport your full acoustic drum kit with four dude and would be cool cutting through traffic
