Flaming cumbersome thing that it is, I need a case for it before I wreck its covering. What does anyone here use? Thanks.

I took mine off every time. One day I just stopped putting it back on.

Do you mean you took the backrest off? So do I, but then where to put the whole ten ton thing?

I bought something lighter for gigging and leave the RnC at home. Its a pain in the backrest otherwise.

Protection Racket do a throne case that takes a Roc n Soc and backrest.
Usual protection racket quality, I've had mine for about 4 years and still perfect.
It's a back pack style case so easy to carry and extra pockets to carry all the
other things we drummers need!
Not cheap but then neither is the Roc n Soc!

If you wanted more space on stage you should have got here before me!

Thanks re cases. Are there any lightweight stools out there with backrests?

Could you buy a lightweight stool and put the Rock 'n' Soc one one that? It might reduce the overall weight by a bit...

Not a bad idea that...tried the RnS with a cheapo base but the tube diameter is wrong - will try some others though.

I've got the equivalent Yamaha beast -

I bought a second hand Protection Racket bag - cost me £20.

I can fit my stool, backrest, mike, stick bag and towel in there.

These look pretty good for the price....if a little...er....'bright'

Nice but would add to the weight problem. Good piece of kit though :)
