Protection Racket 23x17" Bass Drum Case
Protection Racket's 23" × 17" bass drum case represents a purpose–built approach to instrument transport grounded in practical drum hardware reality. The semi–rigid construction, achieved through Propadd P2 foam technology, maintains structural integrity when open and empty–a critical design consideration that prevents case collapse during loading and unloading cycles. Weighing under 3.5 kilograms, the case prioritises portability without sacrificing protective rigidity.
Internal dimensions measure 26½" × 20½", accommodating the shell hardware, lugs, and bearing edges that extend beyond the drum's nominal 23" × 17" specification. This engineering detail matters; padding and case walls aren't sized to the printed drum size but rather to the actual dimensional footprint of a dressed instrument. The semi–rigid foam formula balances the practical need for easy case entry during transit setup against the protection requirements demanded by touring drummers and studio professionals moving expensive kit components between venues and recording facilities.
