Padded soft case for a 20x16 bass drum. For drummers hauling a kit to gigs or rehearsals who want protection without a hard case's bulk.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Gigging drummers loading a kit in and out of cars weekly
  • Rehearsal-space transport where a hard case won't fit
  • Storing a bass drum between gigs without dust or dings

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Airline or freight shipping, which needs a hard-shell case
  • Drums outside 20x16 — the fit is size-specific
  • Drummers who leave the kit set up permanently

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

20 x 16 in. sizing

Cut for that exact drum. A 20x14 will shift inside; a 22 won't close.

Detail 02

Soft-sided construction

Absorbs knocks and scuffs. It won't stop a hard drop or crush from stacked gear.

Detail 03

Black exterior

Hides road grime better than light colors and won't show scuffs after a season of gigs.

Detail 04

Bass drum case, not a tom case

Sized for the largest drum in the kit. You'll need separate cases for toms and snare.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your drum's depth and diameter — bass drums vary more than people expect
  2. 02Covers one drum only. A full kit needs a case per piece
  3. 03Hoops and spurs stay on; check your drum still fits with them mounted

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a 20x14 bass drum?

It's cut for 20x16. A 20x14 will fit diameter-wise but sit loose in the depth, so the drum can shift in transit.

02Is this a hard case or a soft case?

Soft. It's padded protection for car and van transport, not a hard-shell case for checked baggage or freight.

03Can I leave the bass drum hardware on?

Spurs and mounted hardware add depth. Check clearance before you commit — the case is cut close to drum dimensions.

04Does one case cover a whole kit?

No. This holds a single 20x16 bass drum. Toms, snare and cymbals each need their own case.
