I have used this rug for over 12 years.  It is thin, compact and easily rolls up into about a two foot long roll that fits easily into the Akona Scuba wheeled duffle I use for a hardware bag.  I never go to a gig without my Drumat.  The permanently attached strap perfectly secures the mat for transport.  After a thousand gigs, rehearsals and student lessons both of my Drumats work great.  Check out their website:  drumat.com.          Carl Smelser
