Protection Racket 12x5" Piccolo Snare Case & Strap
Protection Racket's piccolo snare cases represent the premium end of the dedicated drum case market, engineered to transport tight–shell instruments safely across venues and studios. The 12” × 5” model (catalogue 3012–00) suits players running compact, cut–down snares or period–specific configurations where shell depth matters as much as diameter. Built around a rigid protective design philosophy rather than soft bags, these cases preserve snare geometry and hardware integrity during transport.
Internal dimensions measure 15” × 6”, allowing clearance for lugs, strainer mechanisms, and bearing–edge contours without forcing fitment. The case ships as standard with a carrying handle; a rucksack strap variant (3012R) suits touring drummers who need hands–free mobility between load–in and stage setup. Shell protection stems from rigid external construction paired with interior foam layering that isolates the drum from shock and vibration during transport. Depth of 5” makes this configuration distinctly narrower than mid–range snares, targeting piccolo specialists, marching snare players, and session drummers working with shallow shells.
