Internal dimensions of 25½” × 20½” provide clearance for hardware and bearing edges. The case weighs under 3.5 kilograms, making frequent lifting and van-loading considerably less taxing during transit between venues or studios.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe semi-rigid foam design distinguishes itself from fully rigid flightcases by offering superior balance between protection and portability. Unlike soft cases that collapse around the drum when empty, the Propadd P2 formula holds its shape, allowing straightforward insertion and removal without fumbling or deformation risk. This particular 22” × 17” footprint accommodates mid-to-large format kick drums common in jazz trios, fusion ensembles, and contemporary acoustic recording setups. The case's generous internal volume accounts for lugs, tension rods, and bearing hardware without binding the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProtection Racket cases suit both stationary recording environments and regular touring schedules. The lightweight construction appeals to drummers managing their own gear transport, whilst the protective foam core remains thick enough to absorb road shock and venue mishaps. Musicians rotating between multiple kick drum sizes benefit from Protection Racket's comprehensive range, ensuring each shell receives appropriately sized, damage-resistant storage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternal dimensions: 25½” × 20½” accommodate hardware and lugs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePropadd P2 semi-rigid foam maintains shape when empty or loaded\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight under 3.5 kilograms for effortless portable transport\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuits 22” × 17” bass drum configurations and equivalent shell sizes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSemi-rigid construction prevents collapse during single-handed loading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtects bearing edges and tension rods during venue or studio transit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCatalogue number 1722-00 for precise identification and reordering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard drum hardware and custom lug designs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"manufacturer-site\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, please visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.protectionracket.com\/products\/drum-cases\/item\/bass-drum-cases\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emanufacturer's website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protection Racket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41580309872698,"sku":"1722-00","price":248.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/Protection_Racket_22x17__Bass_Drum_Case_1785989650-01.jpg?v=1785989657","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/protection-racket-22x17-bass-drum-case","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
