AN AWESOME GIFT !!!
This bag was first made for pro drummer, Gary Sullivan (former drummer for Reba McEntire, member of the Western Swing Hall of Fame, and world class percussionist). It was made to the specifications he wished for in the design of the "ultimate" drumstick bag in 1990. After some hard use touring, in 2003, I went over all the seams and reconditioned it for him and he is still using it today.
These awesome stickbags are hand cut from carefully selected hides and are individually assembled at GREAT LEATHER tm, Avon, IL. - assuring distinct character and long wear. While each bag is unique because of the very nature of leather, each handmade bag bears the name of it’s owner by way of a custom name label - leather of course!
It takes 10 square feet of quality top grain leather to make the Great Leather Drumstick Bag! It's fully lined, with the same tough and deeply rich leather throughout. The interior is fitted with a large drumstick pocket divided into three sections, and a flap that flips over protecting the drum when the bag is open, and protects the sticks when the bag is closed. The bag attaches to the drum by way of two S-hooks and has an additional set of S-hooks for hanging brushes-open. The exterior, features two snapped pockets for carrying drum keys, moongel, etc. It closes securely by means of industrial strength velcro and leather straps, and has a comfortable durable handle for carrying. A unique and original design only from GREAT LEATHER!

Testimony from Charlie Morgan (Elton John's drummer) >
When Dena first brought me this stick bag, I was totally amazed by the workmanship and the quality of the leather.
Let's be straight: this is, without a doubt, the Rolls-Royce of stick bags.
It is very compact, and yet holds exactly what's needed for most gigging drummers. The protective flap (which folds over the sticks in their compartments) is a nice idea, as is the way it stands up on its own when you close it. There is a really sturdy handle on the top, too. On the outside there are a couple of useful pockets for drum keys etc... The whole thing attaches to the floor tom by way of 2 well-placed hooks. A lot of thought has gone into the ergonomics of this bag, I can tell. For me, personally, this has everything I need, and adds a touch of class whilst doing it!
Every drummer should treat themselves to it!
Testimony from Tom Stoeckel >
Dena,"When the leather stick bag I’ve used for 30 years finally reached it’s end (there are only so many repairs you can make before it’s just time to move on), I was in the market for a suitable replacement. Igrudgingly settled for a few synthetic bags until I came across this stick bag from Great Leather. As soon as I received it, I knew I had made the right choice. Not only is it the perfect size and design but the finished product is truly a work of art. The craftsmanship is impeccable and the leather quality is beyond anything I’ve seen in other leather bags. It looks deceptively small yet it really holds quite a lot. I regularly carry 6-7 pair of sticks, a pair of brushes, three pair of hot-rods and a couple different pairs of mallets, and it holds them all with ease (fortunately, the velcro closure also makes it very adaptable if I happen to need to carry more or less).
If you’ve been drumming as long as I have, you know how important the right stick bag can become to you - like that one special tool that a craftsman always carries and loves to use. This bag is beautiful, functional, and comfortable; a trusted companion at every gig. I liked my Great Leather stick bag so much that I bought one for my best friend (also a drummer) for his 50th birthday.
I’m confident that I’ve found the bag to last me another 30 years.
Money, well spent. Thanks, Dena."

Testimony from Randall Coyne >
I've played drums since 1972, and have owned dozens of stick bags and cases. This bag leaves all others in the dust. Even stick bags supposedly endorsed or designed by major drumset artists don't begin to approach this one, in terms of pure beauty, elegance and durability. I've spent 35 years searching for the perfect kit, the perfect cymbals, and the perfect kick pedal. I'm still searching, but I've found the stick bag of my dreams. If you absolutely need to bring dozens of pairs of sticks, brushes, mallets to every gig, this isn't likely your cup of tea. But on the gig last night, I brought my Great Leather bag, filled with 2 pairs of brushes, 4 pairs of sticks and a pair of yarn mallets. The 2 front pouches are handy also, and easily hold drum keys, felts, and -- for those who have to work with female lead singers -- a small can of mace. It ain't cheap, but neither are Rolexes, Porsches and Prada purses. I may not be a great drummer, but carrying this bag into a gig makes me feel like one.

Testimony from Adam Victor Bøje (sound of virtue) >
Hi Dena!
My girlfriend bought one of your extraordinarily well crafted drumstick bags for me about a year ago.
I think that great craftsmanship must be praised, and I have never as a drummer experienced that kind of functionality, innovation and class in a drummer accessory! The bag is great, and it still amazes me every time I use it.
Keep up the great work! :)
Hi Dena,
I would like to express my appreciation to you for creating my new drumstick bag. Everything about it is first class - the quality of the leather, the design of the bag, your expert stitching and your friendly customer service. This bag is built to last. A couple of things about the well thought out design standout to me - the way that it closes using velcro (instead of zippers) is great, zippers are nice but seem to snag a lot and eventually break - the velcro solves this problem. Also, the "S" hooks that attach the bag to the drum are step up from using laces that wear out after awhile. The extra "S" hooks for hanging brushes on is another nice touch. These things might seem like simple things, but to me it makes a huge difference. And then add the fact that each bag is handmade makes each one unique. This drumstick bag will be with me for long time.
Thank You Again
Sincerely,
Tedd Dolhon
