what brand of snare and tenor Carriers are you guys using? if cost is not an obstacle what kind of carriers would you buy for a line? and why please. pro's and con's are nice. thanks guys.

First of all, Search First, Ask Second. This has been brought up before. Also check the product review section to see what people think of the stuff.

That being said, my line uses XL Lites. Not bad, except the only new one is the one on our quints. I would recommend their vest over the T-bars.

Our line just got new Yamaha vests for last year.

my line uses stadium t-bars
we use to use Yamaha vests

The Dynasty carriers fell really flimsy for quads. We have those.

We use the neww tubes from Pearl...it s the most comfortable/ cusomizable carrier there is. only prblem is that the tube make the fron of your uniform look kinda funky, if you dont have them flat.

Which Dynasty carriers do you all use? Are you using the brand new carriers, or are you using the old vest carriers?

The line i teach uses all XL and I must say they are very good carriers. They can take the abuse and still hold up well. I have read and heard many good things about the tube carriers but have not worked with them one on one.

My high school line used t-bars when I started and then changed to vests when we got new drums. I prefered the vest but would be ok with either. I liked the openness of the t-bar. I liked the look and the backbar of the vests.

I haven't tried the new tube carriers, but they look real comfortable and light.

We have two sets of drums. 10 year old Pearls and 4 year old Premiers. When our snare tech went to tune our snares, he just about pissed his pants. The drums were in horrible condition, despite our efforts at protecting them.

Long story short, we've got Premier harnesses on Pearl drums.

I really want to try the Pearl MagVest. Now THAT looks comfortable.
