The best hardware case for gigging drummer

By James
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-13

I purchased one of these cases USED in 1999 (it was pretty beat up at the time)- I used it to hold drum hardware and mic stands and it survived hundreds of gigs over the years - About a week ago one of the wheels broke off after getting wedged in a concrete gap (it was repairable)- I was not the original owner, so I could not take advantage of the lifetime warranty. After nearly 25 years of heavy use I decided it was time for a new one. The improvements to the latches and the handle are welcome - much beefier than my old one. Highly recommended. The only caveat is that this is VERY heavy when fully loaded - The wheels make it easy to move around, but forget about dead lifting this case.

A year later, another story

After a year of heavy use, my review is not quite as glowing. My original assessment, that the case holds a lot, still stands. And it is still a versatile case. However, if you plan on shipping this case FedEx (as I do on virtually every job), think twice. It's rather flimsy and has multiple dents along the metal strips that seal the case. One was so bad that I had to get pliers and a hammer to get the case to close again. Also, almost every rubber foot on the case has now been busted off, courtesy of FedEx. This case will serve you well if you are personally transporting to shoots, but doesn't work well to ship stands etc. via a carrier such as FedEx or UPS. Fully loaded, as I have it, the case weights a hefty 90+ lbs. the downside is that the case only has one end handle at the top, so the person at the other end must lift without that benefit. The roller wheels work well, but you still much do a certain amount of lifting to get it into vehicles, etc. Also, the fact that my umbrella scrim does not fit linearly, but must fit diagonally, means it is a pain to pack and you have to make sure you layer stands etc. in such a way as to fit it diagonally.� I pack a ton of grip in this sucker, but it is disappointing that it isn't a little longer. It's a pity that the SKB i4213 isn't longer or that the i5616 isn't a little deeper. Those are better cases if you plan to ship equipment on a regular basis.

question

Could I fit usual Video support gear? (tripod and slider, and monopod, and 2 light stands, and glidecam) Thank you!
Asked by: kenneth
I returned this case - thought it not strong enough for shipping. If you are transporting in car, not FedEx for or on airline it should be OK. As I recall it is roomy - I's check measurements.
