Breaking Down A Rack Tom

Video Transcript

"I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village, and today I'm going to show you how to pack up your drum kit efficiently. Now that we have our snare drums safely packed away, as you see, I'm not going to really move this case out of the way. I'm going to leave it here. I'm going to show you why. But what we're going to do next is packing up the Rack Tom. Now I'm going to go over here and I'm going to get my Rack Tom case and lid. And this is why I don't pack away or put away my Snare Drum case after its packed. Look, now I don't have to bend over. I know that sounds stupid and it sounds lazy, but when you're doing this, you just got done playing four hours or two hours, or however long, and you're tired, preserving your back, especially when you're loading the truck and unloading the truck, that's a big deal when you do this four, five, six nights a week. Okay, so I use the Snare Drum case now as a table as I pack away my Rack Tom. Now, this Tom case is a little bit bigger than the actual Rack Tom, so inside here you can see that I have a piece of foam. And that prevents the Rack Tom from moving more than it should and needs to. Okay, so what we're going to do is go ahead and slap the Rack Tom in there against the foam. And go ahead and put on the lid and fasten it. Okay, here we go. Rack Tom is packed away. Let's pack away the rest of the drums. "
