Ahead Armor Cases

collapse expand iconDescription

The Ahead Armor Snare Case has some innovative features that are truly worth a detailed investigation. All of the cases have a heavy-duty, waterproof, 600 denier polyester exterior, complemented inside by their "DX-Core": two layers of high-impact foam padding and a soft interior lining of premium Sherpa Fleece. This combination offers the snugness and smaller dimensions of soft cases, while still retaining the resistance and strength of hard plastic cases.

Another great feature can be found by looking at the shape of the cases themselves: they are designed to hold not just the drum, but the mounted hardware as well; no need to shove your expensive drum into a case that just doesn't quite fit. Finally, Ahead Armor Cases has made it easier than ever to get your drum in and out of its case with the 'Dynazip' zipper. The cutaway design allows the top and bottom of the case to completely separate, eliminating tight squeezes and vacuum effects.

best case in price range

I bought two of these, the most recent of which is for a Yamaha aluminum snare. It has an extended snare butt, which means it won't fit well in a standrd round case. The "teardrop" shape allows for extra hardware girth, whether it's a strainer mechanism or a tom style mount usually installed on "popcorn" snares. Hardshell cases provide similar spacing at the corners of their flat side but cost twice as much. I have an arsenal of snare drums, and it changes frequently, so I can't really justify the added cost of buying hard cases for every snare drum I own at any given time. These are very snug and their build quality is far better than any other soft case I've used. If you have a high end kit and you gig frequently, I would still recommend hard shell cases for the toms and bass drum, but these are an excellent option for snare drums particularly if you own more than one.

Good case but floppy

Zipper on 14x6.5 goes right around the middle. Bottom wall of the case should be reinforced with corrugated cardboard so it will stand up and not flop.
