Thomann Producer Backpack

This is what I pack in this bag

Main compartment
- Elektron Analog Four with PL-2 Cover
- Elektron Rytm with PL-2 Cover

Side poket (the big one)
- 2 x power supplied

Front pocket (big one)
- 2 x brightside E-RM wooden stands. That's 2 pairs
- 2 x elektron usb cables
- 2 x patch cables
- 1 midi cable

Top compartment (upper zip / lid)
- external harddrive
- Sennheiser HD 25 headphones

Yes, the 2 elektrons appear to fit tight in the main compartment, but they slide in comfortably. Once, just once the rubber padding came off one of the elektrons while pulling it out from the bag, but then i wasn't careful enough as I was in a hurry. But that's the only thing you need to take care of. As I see it, it's a rubber pad, you can stick it back :). I use the stands anyway, so the rubber pads are least of my worries.

For this price, compactness and durability, I haven't found anything better.

I bought this backpack for my mobile recording rig, but I ended up finding many other uses for it. This comfortably fits my laptop, interface (focusrite 2i4), midi controller (Akai MPK mini mkII), cables, mics, sustain pedal, and a mouse and numpad. Granted, it was stuffed to the brim, but the point is that everything that was necessary fit inside without feeling like i was going to crush anything.

The main pocket is the best. The padding is more than sufficient and the size makes it perfect for a business backpack too. Laptops, books, and papers fit perfectly and snugly (so not much risk of unwanted folds or wrinkles).

I also use this as a gig/instrument repair bag. I drum in my current band, but I'm also responsible for bringing extra equipment for emergencies or repairs (tools, cables, strings+winders, extra mics, picks, drum felts,). This bag makes it super easy to keep everything well organized and separated by function.

My only complaint is that it tends to stick out backwards quite a bit and I've accidentally hit a few people with it. It's not the most form-fitting backpack I've had, but it's meant to protect the contents.

Awesome little backpack.

This wasn't exactly a planned purchase; I just thought it'd be handier to have a backpack to store all my accessories in instead of the usual shoe box. As a keyboardist I have a lot of them - a heap of cables, adapters, sustain/expression pedals, batteries, screwdrivers, duct tape etc. and I'm glad to say that I can fit them all in here, with room to spare. With a price as accessible as this it wasn't difficult to justify an impulse buy.

Needless to say, you can use this backpack for anything you'd like. There are lots of compartments - the main one can even take a 15-inch laptop, no problem. It isn't suitable for my Novation Bass Station 2 though so other users beware.

As for the build quality, there are some downsides. The zippers and straps especially are what I find lacking. The padding of the backpack, on the other hand, is surprisingly thick.

This backpack is nearly identical to a M-Audio backpack I had donated away a few years ago. I regretted doing so, and sought out a replacement. I was very glad to find this bag, willing to pay the high shipping costs to the US. The bag was big enough to hold my 15” MacBook Pro and my Akai MPC Live plus a bunch of accessories.

Unfortunately, after only nine months of light use, I picked up the bag by the top strap yesterday, and the left side of the strap ripped off the bag. Not only did the top strap detach, but it ripped a hole in the right shoulder strap as it came off. I’m now worried to use the bag at all in case the right shoulder strap rips all the way through while I’m carrying the bag. I hoped Thomann would replace it, but after emailing their support, they said they only offer a thirty day warranty on this product. Needless to say, I’ll be ordering a different bag as a replacement.

I bought this to carry my MPC Live 2 + Decksaver along with cables and other small pieces of equipment. It is very good for the money, obviously not premium as can be seen from but sturdy enough for light to medium use. If you’re buying this for a Live 2 like me be aware that it is a very tight fit - there is a central barrier dividing the main space in half and I think I may cut this out to make one large compartment- sometimes the inputs on the rear of the MPC catch and tear the lining of the bag so it isnt an optimal solution for that particular bit of kit but nonetheless a lot cheaper than the UDG Creator upon which it is styled ;-)

If you’re buying for less than pro /actively gigging usage I would recommend this without reservation but for daily use I would suggest spending more money on something more designed for the purpose. 3.8 stars ✌🏾

Can fit : Laptop, USB ball mouse, launchpad S, launch control, small mixer, several mic's , pop shield cables and power supplies with some room to spare.
Not waterproof but keeps off anything less than heavy rain, adequately padded to deal with knocks and bumps but I wouldn't expect it to survive being sat on.
So far its been the bag I get all my gear into for live work and studio time. fits comfortably and is not heavy when empty. Construction is very solid, none of the handles or zips feel flimsy, quite the opposite - I'd expect this should last a while.
Only have good things to say about this bag

I use this backpack personally for my Akai MPC Live, it has enough extra room to accommodate cables and I can even fit in (with a bit of a squeeze) my laptop or a small midi keyboard (Akai MPKmini).


I would say that the quality of this backpack is great and the design is also user friendly and well thought out.
My only problem with this backpack is that it is really only a light protection.
I suppose it is fair to say you can only expect so much from something that is not made of metal - however it provides enough protection to put me at ease when transporting my MPC or laptop from place to place.

Overall I would give this backpack 4 out of 5 stars on the basis that it does provide a good level of protection, it is lightweight and has a good amount of room.

This backpack works really well, plenty of pockets and two slots inside for midi keys and a laptop, great padding, everything is safe from harm.
On the down side larger headphones have nowhere to go and need to wedged in and the backpack lacks versatility if you want to use it for anything apart from producer gear because the divider inside is fixed.
It sits really well and is comfortable but unlike a normal backpack it is a large rectangular block on your back with a higher center of gravity than a normal backpack where the weight is more focused on the bottom.
Basically, great for keeping your gear safe and being mobile.
