Weight rides on both shoulders instead of one hand, which matters most on stairs and long walks from the car.

A black backpack-style cymbal case from MEINL. For drummers who want cymbals on their back and hands free during load-in.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Load-ins where both hands are needed for other cases
- Drummers on public transit or walking to gigs

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players hauling oversized gongs or unusually large cymbals

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 02
Soft case
Protects against scrapes and weather in transit. It will not survive being crushed or checked as airline baggage.
Detail 03
Black
Hides scuffs and stage grime better than lighter fabric. Also disappears in a dark venue, so tag it.
Detail 04
$99.99
Mid-range for a cymbal case. Above basic sleeve bags, below hard-shell cases and touring flight cases.
Detail 05
Cymbal-specific
Built to carry cymbals flat and stacked, not as a general gig bag for sticks, pedals or hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your largest cymbal — check the diameter fits before ordering
- 02Cymbals sold separately; the case ships empty
- 03Soft cases still let cymbals rub — use dividers or cloth between them
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many cymbals does it hold?
It carries a stacked set of cymbals. Capacity depends on how thick your cymbals are, so measure your stack against the case depth.
02Can I check this on a flight?
Not recommended. It is a soft case, so baggage handling can bend or crack cymbals. Use a hard case for air travel.
03Does it fit a 22 inch ride?
Confirm the case dimensions against your largest cymbal before buying. Cymbal bags are sized to a maximum diameter and a ride is usually the limiting piece.
04Will my cymbals scratch inside it?
Stacked cymbals can rub in any soft bag. Separate them with dividers or cloth to keep the finish and logos intact.
