Do you facilitate group drumming? Or maybe it’s something you’ve thought of doing, but you’d rather not go through the trouble of carrying around drums? I love drumming, so I’ve tried several different schlepping solutions, and I’ve come up with a few good ideas. Check out the video and the following products for transporting enough instruments for 25-30 participants.
Folding cart from Target
Big box from Container Store
Laundry bags from Container Store or Target (in store only)
Mesh black bag from Container Store
Black folding cart from Taylor Gifts
What do you do for schlepping? I’d love to hear your ideas!
LOve love love this!! I’ve been looking for alternatives to my big yucky suitcase and this had given me all sorts of creative ideas! Thank you!!
Hi Kat,
Thanks for the tips – I love all of these ideas! I work with young children with special needs & travel to 5 different schools. I have something very similar to the luggage cart, except instead of a fabric box, I put a plastic crate on top. It’s not my favorite way to schlep, but it does the job.
Also, I use pencil boxes of various sizes to store shakers, rhythm sticks, & bells. I especially like purchasing them around September, when all the back-to-school stuff goes on sale.
I really like your idea of the mesh black bag from the container store, which would come in handy after washing my instruments to let them dry properly!
Here is an idea a co-worker gave me to store Boomwhackers: a wrapping paper container! It’s just the right size.
Here is a link to the one I have – it can fit at least 2 sets of Boomwhackers, plus you can put octavator caps & other small instruments in the top compartment.

Thanks for your comments, Michelle. And yes! What a coincidence! I have openings for volunteers! Come visit
