Bags and Cases for Percussion | page 4

Percussion bags and cases help you choose protection for the exact instrument, not just for a general luggage size. Start with the instrument type, such as bags and cases for cajon, bags and cases for djembe, bags for didgeridoo, bags and cases for conga or bags and cases for other percussion. Compare the inner dimensions with the instrument body, drumhead diameter or tube length, and check model compatibility when a case is made for a specific instrument. A soft padded bag is practical for everyday carrying, while a harder case or hardcase is the better choice for frequent transport, storage with other hardware or travelling by car.

• For short transfers, a light bag with a handle or straps is usually enough.
• For gigs and rehearsal rooms, look for thicker padding and stronger zips.
• If the instrument has an unusual shape, check the exact dimensions rather than only the category name.
