Here's what I do...I purchased a Stanley tool chest for Home Depot for about $70.

I lined the inside with some 1/2" foam to protect pads and cymbals.

Here's the pads, cymbals, snare stand, and throne stand inside the case.

Now I put the throne seat inside, upside down.

I place a carpet strip that I use under the kit when on hard surfaces on everything. Then the kick pad, its legs, and the Hi-hat pedal goes on top of that.

Finally, another square of foam goes on the kick pad to protect the front.

I have the rack legs marked with two stickers so that I can unfold it to the same width each time.

The rack folds up with all cables and cymbal/pad holders not being moved. My kick pedals go it their case and I put the module, sticks, and various things in a laptop bag.

The tool case that holds most everything rolls relatively easy but is pretty heavy for a single person to lift. I can pick it up myself and put it in my vehicle and take it back out but I can't carry it for any distance. With two guys, it can be carried though (that's what the other band members are for)
I go from completely set up to everything ready to be moved in 6 minutes.
