I spent weeks reviewing drum cases. I had just bought a set of DW collectors series drums and was very nervous about what I would trust to protect them!! I kept going back to the Ahead case because I loved the zip feature, the thick soft lining and shape of the bag. My biggest concern was would it be tough enough to withstand being banged around from the rigors of gigging?! The answer is yes!! This bag is super tough and seems to be able to withstand as much as a hard case at a much lower price and easier to carry! When you unzip the bag it stands on it's own rather than collapsing like most soft cases. I think it's kinda the best of both worlds! I would def recommend buying this bag!

Musical Background:

I have played drums for 30 years. I play a DW collectors series drumset. My band is and she did.

Musical Style:

These Ahead Armor cases are truly amazing. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into the design, based on real-world conditions for everyday working musicians...and at a ridiculously affordable price. They are stiff, tough, thickly padded, plushly lined, waterproof and easy to load and unload, thanks to their unique shape and zipper design. I've tried other bags (and hard cases) over the last 30+ years and nothing else even comes close, in terms of overall quality and ease of use. One minor recommendation I have to anyone purchasing these is to vacuum out the fleece lining thoroughly before loading your drum inside for the first time, as my drums were covered with a small amount of loose fleece residue after the first time I took them out of the cases. No big deal... :-)

"Ahead Armor Padded drum bags!"

These are the best drum bags out there. I have used the Humes and Berg Tuxedo bags. I had to fight with them to get the drums in. Also had to order them a size bigger for the rims mount. The Ahead Armor bags open up and the drum lays right in. Same size as my drums, and no needed help from the bass player to get them in! I LOVE them!
Sound
Not required
Features
True form fit, thick plush padding and tough denier outer layer. Easy zip, with great handles.
Ease of Use
Very easy to use. From putting the drum in to taking them out and carrying them all in between. My load time was cut in half, with the help of these babies.
Quality
These seem to be top quality. Everything looks to be double stitched and well sewn together. This looks as though it could last for years!
Value
This is well worth it's typical selling price, compared to others I have had in the past.
Manufacturer Support
Never need them.
The Wow Factor
The inside looks to be cozy,comfortable, and safe, which is exactly where I would want my babies to stay during transport.

"Ahead Armor drum bags rock"

I like these bags because they are rugged yet plush inside, and easy to open and get your drums in and out of quickly. Since they are bags they are more form fitting and you can get them in spots where hard cases take up too much room. Yet your gear is still protected, and not as heavy to carry around as hard cases.Bottom line is these are really good cases for the money. Armor's website contains good info on how to size your bags and when I emailed their support with a few questions on bags for oversided floor tom mounts they responses were quick and helpful.
