My cymbal bag is probably 20+ years old and is sort of falling apart. I need a new one anyway for my 22" and 24" cymbals. Can you recommend a good bag/case? Maybe one with wheels and a suitcase handle? I'll probably get a bag(s) and a case. Use one for storage and the other for gigs.

wow...20+ years for a cymbal bag, that's awesome long. These bags nowadays are mostly overpriced china made 'no-name' with a cymbal makers logo stamped on it. I use 2 cymbal cases from Zildjian too, but I heard they're discontinued. Basically, if you don't go for the fancy prints and logo's you can save some and get the same [sloppy] product. I'll take anything as long as it has good padding, shields between cymbals and extra protection on the bottom.

I purchased a Mono cymbal bag and I love it, soft lining, great compartment sizes and very light.

Not sure if they make it up to a 24" but it's worth checking out.

Not from experience, but Protection Racket and Humes & Berg seems to get good reviews and makes 24" sizes.

I still haven't picked up one myself as I still don't know if there''s any bag/case that can hold my full setup. I'm considering the biggest Protection Racket one if I can get assurance from somewhere that it has enough room.

The Paiste bag is very nice.

The Protection Racket bags have always worked for me.

Funny, I went to order a Protection Racket, 24" DLX CYMBAL BAG W/STRAP

These Protection Racket bags are sold for €75,- 22'' black ....I'd take 2 el cheapo bags and a nice pair of sticks. Are these PR bags not build in Asia? You can buy 2 dvd players for the price of 1 cymbal bag ....just sayin'

These Mono bags look nice: Mono Cases M80-CY Cymbal Bag Black...for €130,-....this is getting ridiculous :Reunion Blues 104 Cymbal Bag Leather 34.....€390,- w0000t....that's $516,- for 'a leather bag'. I have to discipline myself in not putting to much cymbals in one bag. That's what destroys these bags, to much weight. I just found out that I've bags from 'Gewa'. Nothing fancy but I happy with them, they seem to last. I've you have crew taking your cymbals I would not use a bag but something from Hardcase.

I have this...



...and really like it.

I had a Drum Slinger black and yellow bag for years and years. The separator pockets ended up disintegrating so I had to retire it.

In a cymbal bags most of the time you need some space for puting more than cymbals, I have towels, charts, drum key, tambourine, in a hard case you just can put cymbals, it's almost useless for me.
