“The Seville” Drum Stick Bag - Whiskey Brown

First off, I did not need a stick bag. I have about three leather stick bags (which are fairly decent) not to mention cymbal bags as well. I saw the Seville bag on Instagram and I absolutely fell in love. So, even though I didn't need a bag I decided to give it a try... OMG!!!!! The bag straight out of the thick plastic shipping material had an aroma of REAL LEATHER!! Not only was it real, it felt so sturdy and had all the elements that you would want in a bag for years to come! I almost do not want to use it, but I am, lol! This bag is amazing!! The weight, the feel, the smell, the size etc. etc. is what any SERIOUS musician would want or need. I would caution you on one thing: keep your eyes on this bag when out in the public because this is a product that I can see people wanting to walk off with!!! The folks at Anthology really hit a HOME RUN with this bag! It's worth every penny!!!

A drum forum friend turned me onto the Seville Stick Bag several years ago. The instant I saw it I ordered one in Whiskey Brown finish. Zero regrets! When I first got it I was literally stunned by the hefty feel, attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. Every time I pick it up it puts a big ol' smile on my face. It is the single finest drum accessory I have ever owned in my life (I've been playing drums since 1963). It just oozes a timeless cool vibe. The Seville is built to last and will easily outlive you and your descendants. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Far cheaper and much more practical than a Ferrari, but it will turn just as many heads when you show up on a gig or session. Next to an endorsement this could be the finest thing that has ever happened for a drummer. Thanks are in order to the Anthology crew for allowing drummers to join your ranks!

I hate to be the one to end the perfect 5 star review streak but.....

There's so much that is great and beautiful about this bag and it's all referenced throughly in the other reviews here. Craftsmanship and materials are very good!
My negative bias comes from the fact that I "moved in" into this bag coming from the big Vic Firth faux-leather bag. Although the Anthology bag has a good amount of room and it's lifespan and good looks go way beyond my old bag it is a definite downsize from the behemoth Vic Firth bag. The thing I miss the most is the ability to carry a large amount of sheet music in my sick bag. Anthology has a large(ish) flap pocket on the back of their bag that is not pictured on their site that I could tell. It is good for stashing about three or four legal size papers folded in half and that's about it. So maybe you can put your set list in it but not much else and you can forget about carrying a sets worth of music in it. Even if that's not expected, I just think they could have done something better with all that space on the back of their bag. More pockets similar to the front maybe?

I play between 40-50 shows a year. Not counting rehearsals and this is the best stick bag I have ever had. It holds my sticks,wallet, phone, drum key etc. This bag will last me forever, instead of having to get a new one every 4-5 years. You deserve it, so pull the trigger and get this bag. A year from now you will forget what it cost and just be happy with how great this bag really is.

I've used a fairly standard size stick bag for many years. You get to the hit and lay your different sticks, brushes, tympani and cymbal mallets out in such a way to get to them easily and hope they don't roll off whatever surface that is. With this bag, which is a little bigger, it's much easier just to slip it back into the roomy pouch, of which there are many. The bag doesn't play the gig, but it makes it easier to get to the things you need to do the job. And last but not least, the leather and design of this bag are both gorgeous. Best not to leave it laying around where you can't watch it!!!
