Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Molded hardshell case for a 22x16 bass drum. For drummers hauling a kit to gigs who want more protection than a padded bag.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Regular load-in and load-out where drums get stacked in a van
  • Touring or flying a kit that gets handled by other people
  • Storing a bass drum long-term without shell dents

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers who leave the kit set up in one room
  • Anyone with a 20 or 24 inch bass drum — sizing is fixed
  • Players wanting one case that fits several drum sizes

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

22 x 16 in. sizing

Fits a 22 inch diameter, 16 inch deep bass drum. Other depths will rattle or not close.

Detail 02

Molded shell

Holds its shape under stacked weight, so a drum underneath other cases will not get crushed.

Detail 03

Roto-molded construction

Single-piece plastic wall with no seams to split. Takes impact by flexing rather than cracking.

Detail 04

Black finish

Hides scuffs from van floors and stage ramps better than lighter cases.

Detail 05

Case, not a bag

Adds bulk and weight over a padded bag. Trade storage space for real impact protection.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your drum's actual depth — 22x18 will not fit this case
  2. 02Drum hardware, mounts and pedals are not included
  3. 03No wheels on this size — plan to carry it

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit a 22x18 bass drum?

No. This is cut for a 22 inch diameter by 16 inch deep shell. A deeper drum will not seat properly or let the case close.

02Can I check this on a flight?

It is a molded hardshell built for transport abuse, which is the reason to buy one over a padded bag.

03Does the bass drum pedal fit inside?

The case is sized to the drum itself. Plan on a separate bag for pedals and hardware.

04Is a case worth it over a padded gig bag?

If drums get stacked or handled by other people, yes. A bag protects against scratches; a molded case protects against crushing.
