Protection Racket 42" x 5.5" x 5.5" Drum Hardware Case
Protection Racket's 42" × 5.5" × 5.5" drum hardware case addresses the transport demands of gigging drummers and touring acts who need to consolidate stands, booms, snare baskets, and pedal hardware into a single manageable flight case. Built with the trademark coffin–style opening and coffered construction that Protection Racket has refined across decades of road use, this case prioritises accessibility and security during load–in and vehicle transit. Internal webbing straps keep hardware locked down through the rigours of touring while dual webbing handles at either end distribute weight evenly across the 42" length.
The 42" case accommodates up to seven–piece kits including bass drum pedals and double bass drum pedal assemblies, with internal dimensions of 42" × 5.5" × 5.5" providing clearance for stand legs, boom arms, and cymbal holders. Rather than standard Propile fleece, Protection Racket lines this case with Racketex material for enhanced impact absorption and scuff resistance. The narrow profile design – just 5.5" tall – ensures even weight distribution and easier handling compared to deeper cases, whilst the elongated format accommodates longer hardware components without forcing compression or binning smaller elements separately.
Many drummers purchase multiple 42" cases in tandem, splitting hardware loads to maintain manageable lifting weights across venue arrivals and departures. The design suits both rack–based systems and traditional boom setups, making it equally practical for bedroom producers transporting gear to studios and session drummers rotating between multiple kits across touring schedules or weekly gig circuits.
