For the better part of a DECADE, I've been looking for a DJ bag that wouldn't fall apart at the stitching. Myriads of money spent, hunting for a bag that was as durable as it portrayed, while not looking like Bowser's shell hulking off of my back and concussing people from bumps on the train.
Funny enough to find that it's a hunt that a ton of DJs in my circle had gone through; all of us relegated to using whatever backpack might fit everything, hoping that the zippers lasted longer than their predecessors. This last spring, sitting down with some of that same cirlce, Tucker-Bloom got brought up by a DJ I admire; a recommendation packed up with the phrase "I have traveled across the country and around the world with it, and it hasn't flinched."
I was sold. I bought the bag while sitting at the breakfast table with all of them, and waited with hopeful anticipation that it'd match the praise it'd been given. I'm happy to say that it did all of that, so much more, and so *MUCH MORE* than I'd expected.
The folks at Tucker-Bloom had hit a snafu with materials for my bag, and reached out to let me know. They kept me abreast of changes and hang-ups throughout the entire process, which gave me such a peace of mind from the customer-side care alone that I figured that the bag HAD TO hit all the marks. The bag arrived damn near perfect..and fit EVERYTHING my gigantic "DJ lifestyle" bag held PLUS MORE.
I'd happily recommend this bag and Tucker-Bloom to any DJ that's looking for something that's not only well-made, but will last through travel, record packing, laptop safety, extras, and will still fit snacks + a book for the train.
Hats off, Tucker-Bloom.
