AheadDrum Set Case (AA6024)

ONLY TWO REVIEWS SO FAR?!?Let me weigh in here. I just purchased this. Was going to order from Amazon, but I needed it NOW, and couldn't wait for shipping. I drove about 100 miles to get one. It's that good.The big pocket is BIG. It will indeed hold your big cymbal. LUSH padding, several dividers to keep your new cymbals from touching and rubbing together. This is what you want. I just like putting my hands in it, it's lovely. In addition to that big pocket full of dividers, the hi-hat pocket on the front is full of dividers also. THIS I did not know before I got to handle it in person. The Amazon description doesn't mention this. One can pack a couple of sets of hi-hats along. Or additional small cymbals can fit in there. There are three dividers in both the large pocket AND the small pocket. The zippers are the usual amazing heavy duty Ahead zippers. Quality.There is an additional pocket on the front of the hi-hat pocket that is not plush lined, but more for small items one would want to pack along. Possibly extra small cymbal stand parts or your lucky troll doll. I have my drum-head-hole-cutter-thingy in there, because I don't know where else to keep it. Handy.The bag comes with a shoulder strap. I found mine buried deep down in the big pocket. I didn't even know it was included. The handle has the typical velcro closure to hook the two handles together. Very nice. heavy duty nylon construction. I've included some photos to show the padded dividers so you can see how plush this bad boy is. If you're thinking about a bag instead of a hard case, you cannot go wrong with this one. I also have purchased Ahead tom bags, snare bag, and a kick drum bag. I've NO hesitation to highly recommend their whole line. And NO I'm not a salesman, investor, or anything in the company. I just like them that much.

Par quality with Protection Racket Cases, which I own a few. Top Quality in all areas. Will hold a 23" easily and a 24 is tight, but no problem. The hat section hold 4 easily. The dividers are probably better than the P.R. cases, because of the plastic dividers inside of the padding. Not sure on the front "stick holder" as haven't used, but it will easily keep and extra clutch, key and moon gels and the like.

This bag is very thick material and the zippers are not cheaply made. The inside dividers are a win win. This bag will protect your Cymbals extremely well

If you are thinking to buy a cymbal bag, that’s the best option in the market! I have three of them and it does deliver the best performance!

Some of the big cymbal companies license their name to a vendor, who then produces cheesy bags with the name of good cymbals on them. You're better off going to a company (like this one) that has its reputation invested in making good bags, not good cymbals. This one is well made, and big.

I'm in a working cover band and we gig regularly so I needed a case that would hold up. This case is just what I needed. I'm very happy with it.

Don't buy any Ahead bags, they tear easily and the company doesn't back up defective bags. The zippered pouches do not open wide enough for cymbals.

Love my purchase! I give it 5 stars!!!
