Protec Cymbal Bag C232

Goede, fijne, stevige bekkentas met meer dan genoeg ruimte en vakverdelingen. Op een normale dag heb ik hier Hi Hats, 3 crashes, een trash stack en een ride in zitten + 5 paar stokken, een koebel, hihat tamboerijn, een extra bassdrum beater en een tasje met spulletjes (clutch, filt, drumkey etc) en als ik goed prop kunnen er nog een paar pilsjes bij in ;).

Dat daar gelaten is het wel echt een must om de Protec BP-Strap er bij te kopen. Daarmee kun je de bekkentas in een rugzak veranderen wat 100x beter is dan met de schouderband die er bij zit aangezien die band op een vreemde plek bevestigd is waardoor de tas haast niet te tillen is als hij vol zit.

-Zonder BP-Strap: 6/10 krappe voldoende, alles past en voelt veilig maar onmogelijk om prettig te vervoeren op die fiets of in de trein.
-Met BP-Strap: 9/10 makkelijk te vervoeren, stevig, meer dan genoeg ruimte, goed te vervoeren op de fiets of in de trein. echte aanrader!

As Thomas Pridgen jokingly said "most people don't play 24" rides because they just can't put them in their cymbal bags". Well, with this Protec Cymbal Bag C232 you can easily prove him wrong.

It's really great for keeping bigger cymbals like 24" rides or 20"-22" crashes, as it has lots of space inside and comes with a handy cymbal divider.

It's even better if you play with a 16" hi-hat like me. Most bags come with an external round-shaped pocket specially designed for storing hi-hats, but the problem is that mostly they are sized for only up to 15" cymbals thus making those external pockets kind of useless.
Instead, this Protec cymbal bag has a large external rectangle pocket which is quite useful - you can put a lot of sticks in there or even some percussion instruments (for ex. some smaller chimes like I do). It also has a pen holder and a pocket where you can put some paper if you like to take notes, I find it a really great feature.

The only minus would be that it's impossible to put it on the back as it comes with a shoulder strap only.

In summary -
+The best for big cymbals
+Roomy external pocket
+Handy internal cymbal divider
+Well protected bottom
-Shoulder strap only

Overall, no cymbal bag has ever suited my needs so fine.

I got this bag to replace my old one that also had a front pocket. I have a stick bag but got so used to the convenience of having everything in the one bag this caught my eye. Ideal for having all you need in one place and means it's one less thing to carry to the gig. Great price and has plenty of room for plenty of cymbals; up to 24 inches.
Solid shoulder and hand straps for carrying, but when full can be a heavy bag especially when walking with it.
Has lasted me 5 years now with no damage and minimal wear and tear. Quality.
