versus using a Rock-N-Roller type kart or similar type of transporting device?.....

I have seen people carrying keyboards under their arms "No Cases" making 20 trips back and forth wires dragging all over etc etc ....just wondering how you transport your gear....I personally only use a Rock N Roller multi kart on almost every gig....which lets me make only ONE trip in & out...I wont leave home without it....one of the best investments a musician can make.

I use a hand truck that lays out flat and the handle is waist high. I decided a long time ago, if it doesn't fit on the cart, I really don't need it. It's one trip and one trip only baby.

Joe I used to use that type rig also BUT ......everything would always slide off the back due to nothing there to hold the gear on back...thats the beauty of the RnRoller kart.....doing this every day its a pleasure to roll.

For my part time gigging this does the trick, I use 2 long bungee cords to hold everything in place.( one trip only )

I use the rock 'n roller for everything. When I'm not gigging, I use it in the yard to move bags of mulch, pavers, etc.

I would use it to get to the train station to go to work in the morning, but it's all uphill! ;-)
