Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the bass drum?
No. This is the carrier sling only. The drum and its mounting hardware are separate.
02Will this fit an adult player?
It adjusts across a range of body sizes. Larger players in heavier drums will be more comfortable on a vest-style carrier.
03Sling or vest carrier for marching bass?
Slings cost less and weigh less but transfer load to the shoulders. Vests spread weight to the hips and hold the drum steadier.
04What size bass drum does this handle?
It is intended for cadet and school-level bass drums. Check your drum's weight and attachment points before committing.
