we use Yamaha carriers and there kinda heavy and the bass drum ones have these weird support bars that can really be a pain while marching.

The upperclassmen drumline (soph, jun., sen.) use Dynasty vest carries on Dynasty drums. I find these very comfortable, the vest seems to add extra support to the drum, and the back bar right across the shoulder blades makes it very nice to have on for a long parade or for a field show night. [EDIT] Forgot to add that the freshman use years old XL carriers on their yamahas, I find these the most uncomfortable carriers like ever.

We have Mag Vests for Snares and Mag Tube for Tenors and bass. Having marched both, I like the Vest better. It fits me perfectly, and ist just more sturdy. However, it is VERY unadjustable, and anyone who is not at the perfect height will have problems.

My line has the old Yamaha T-Bar carriers. Yamaha has since replaced this line of carriers with the tubular ones. Ours are falling apart and never seem to want to stay together. We are starting a fundraising drive after christmas. I haven't decided which carriers I would like. The Yamaha Vest carriers, or their new carbon fiber carriers. Any input on the new Carbon fiber? I have seen a few area lines using them.

the carbon fiber tubes are pretty much the same as the fiberglass version Pearl's. as said they are very adjustable. we have been using the Pearl's since 02 and not had a problem with them.

We have the Yamaha tubes (identical to the Pearls, minus the little sticker) and we have had tremendous problems with them. We keep things maintained very well and we are losing parts all over the place. The carriers are new this year, and I can promise we will never go back to a Randall May design.

It takes too long to get them adjusted properly, and then they don't stay like that. Trust me, I've been marching them the past 4 years.
I'm gonna have to disagree with that. If you take a Pearl high tension tuning key that comes with the drum, and tighten the harness joints until it hurts your fingers, then it will not move for at least twelve years. My school has had one for twelve years, and it has not budged since. So I am told by my director who has been here for twenty years. Also, I believe it is worth the trouble to fix your harness up to fit you perfectly, because in the end, it will help your back. Pearl harnesses are the most comfortable ones I have used (I have also used Dynasty and Yamaha). If it is in your price range, buy the Pearl mag tube carriers. I also have a pretty sick harness tan from mine.
