Apparatus for carrying an object, such as a percussion instrument, a backpack or a tray, includes a belly plate with a carrier extending outwardly therefrom to support the object in a generally overhanging position from a person. A rigid band extends along one or both sides of the person at the waistline area from the belly plate to the back of the person. A back-plate riser arm extends upwardly generally parallel to the spine of a person to apply a reactive force to the load at the thoracic region generally below the scapula region or at the sternum region. A pad assembly is adjustably positioned on the riser arms to engage the person's back or chest. A releasable latch interconnects the rigid band and the belly plate. A carrier bracket is releasably supported by the belly plate by engaging latch pins in notches located at opposite sides of a lock plate.
