Mono Cases 22" Cymbal Bag Black

This a well-made case. However, I didn't think the cymbals were as well protected as I'd hoped - although the base of the case has rubber "boot" to protect the case material, there is minimal padding inside the case where the edges of the cymbals hit the ground, which I found worrying since I use a ride cymbal with an unusually thin edge. I had hoped that the internal pockets would hold the cymbals away from the edges, but they turned out not to be pockets, just very lightly padded dividers, so all the cymbals in the main compartment end up resting on the bottom of the case. If the dividers were redesigned to make them padded pockets of varying sizes, this would be an excellent case, but as it is I think there are better cases for the money. I was also not convinced that the pocket for the hi-hat clutch would manage to keep the clutch away from the hi hat cymbals, which could make your hi-hats prone to damage (especially, again, if you use quite lightweight hihats). Not a bad cymbal bag, but not a great one.

I have been using M80 cymbal bag for a couple months now and I have to say it was a great investment.

The bag itself is well built and durable, and offers good protection all around. There is enough space to fit about 5 cymbals excluding the special compartments for hi-hat and splashes. Largest cymbal I own is 22'' and I was afraid that it wasn't going to fit at first, but it fits perfectly at the center spot with extra padding near the zipper.

There are neat details with a pocket for hi-hat clutches and more flat space in the back for books or laptops. The bag has a good weight to it even when empty, but the center straps make it very stable when carrying it around on your back.

It's a more expensive choice than other cymbal bags, but a durable option which can last for years, I can highly recommend it.
