I really dont think they take up much more room in transport... and when they are in storage, I just put all the cases insideCases are awesome, but take up alot of room.
Make sure it has a camper shell. Or drive a hatchback or SUV. No one wants their gear rained on. And use cases. Cases should be figured into the amount you plan to spend on any drumset you plan to gig with regularly.DRUMSMYWIFE":1oqlrf6h said:Get a huge ass truck like a Toyota Tundra or a Nissan Titan and perhaps a Dodge Ram to load all you shit.

I use the Protector series cases I have 3 differant kits from Big to small to the e/kit so I own a big extended cab van and haul all the equipment light trusses and amps as well cases are a necessity if your a drummer.SmellsLikeIan":2smt8tqe said:Make sure it has a camper shell.
