Drums are strong constructions that can take a lot of beating, but they are sensitive and fragile at the same time. Fortunately, there are lots of great cases available for protecting your precious instruments – here are some things to consider before picking the right garment for your drums:

• -The type of the case – if you don’t transport your drums at all or you can ensure safe, impact-free transport and you want to protect them only from solar radiation, dust and humidity, soft cases made from tight-fitting, durable textile material are great. Soft drum bags are lightweight, easy to store and easy to clean as well. However, if you need to protect your drum kit from concussions and contact with hard and sharp objects, you should choose hard shells. Made from plastic or fiber, available in lined and unlined varieties, hard cases provide overall protection from the elements as well as on the event of a hit or a fall;
• -Special cases for drum hardware – the stands and the other accessories in your drum set need as much protection as the drumheads. Don’t pack them in just any bag – make sure that you buy dedicated cases, either hard or soft, that hold them tight and prevent any harm.
