Thomann Deluxe Cymbal Bag

This is an upgrade from one of the cheaper bags I've had for years (which sadly has seen too much wear and tear and had to be retired). I was actually going to buy the cheaper one again, but they were out of stock. However, I'm glad I bought this one instead:

The padding is at least twice as thick as my older bag. There are two linings inside creating three 'compartments'. The zips seem larger and sturdier. The handle strapping is sewed onto the bag all the way from top to bottom to distribute the weight better.

The circular pouch on the outside could hold accessories, or your hi-hats or splashes (the previous bag had a semi-circle shaped pouch that cymbals wouldn't fit into).

It's just a stronger design of bag overall, and looks great. I'm still expecting the metal clasps on the shoulder strap to break at some point (because they always do in the end), but the hand-strap will be fine for a long time.

If there was one thing to add to it that I don't think I've seen on any bag, is some rubber on the bottom side, so you can put the bag down on a rain or snow soaked road surface while you're packing your van at 3am.

This cymbal case is great. It has separate sections for larger and smaller cymbals and good strong handles. The material is very strong and water resistant. It protects cymbals and also has plenty of room for drum sticks and I even throw in a couple tshirts for the longer weekends gigging! Works great for the musician who doesn't have the cash for a hard case, I even preffer the soft cases as they are lighter and less hard on the hands to carry. I have a small set up hi-hats, crash and a ride so it suits me down to the ground.

Great bag, strong handles and excellent pockets/zippers.

Using this twice a week to move a 20'' Ride, 18'' and 16'' crashes and a pair of 14'' hats for about a month now.

Shoulder strap is comfortable enough to walk from my door to the car, and from the car to the kit.
The bag itself doesn't feel flimsy at all, don't think it gets better for this price!

Only time will tell how it holds up, but for now I'm really happy with it!

Edit:
Few months in, and the shoulder strap has started to come loose at the padded part that sits on the shoulder. Also the Ride has start to come through the bottom of the bag, so I'll have to reinforce that with a piece of felt or something.
