SKB Roto Molded Single Drum Case - (6.5x14)

I owned a set of the comparable Humes and Berg hard shell cases for years. I just bought these SKB cases and will share my observations. There may have been a little lapse in quality control at the SKB factory. These are new cases but when I opened the boxes the straps were dirty and the strap to my floor tom case was way too long. Inside the cases there were slight wrinkles in the padding. I noticed that the top and bottom of these cases have the same thick foam padding as Humes and Berg. The sides however only have a thin layer of felt with no padding. This annoyed me until I put my drums inside. They fit! With Humes and Berg I always had to buy a larger case than I really wanted (ex. a 26" case for a 24" drum). I guess this was due to the thick padding on the sides of the cases. With SKB I was able to buy the correct size cases and my DW drums fit easily. Even the floor tom! This is important because hard shell cases are heavy and awkward to carry in the first place. Larger cases are heavier and more awkward to carry. Overall I would recommend these but wish SKB would get their quality control on par with Humes and Berg.

I have a number of different drums and needed to keep them safe during transport. This one is for a 6 1/2 x 14" custom snare drum. I have bought a total of 8 SKB snare drum cases and they are perfect for what they're used for. This is not a water-proof case because of the holes in the bottom of the case due to the strap locks, it will allow water to get in if kept in a puddle. The case will keep the drum protected from dust and from getting banged up while transporting. It does have padding on the inside not the best but it works just fine if your drum tech's not throwing it around. I've been using these cases for awhile now. They're holding up great and have not fallen apart yet so they seem to be made pretty strong.

I purchased my drums from someone who was luckily selling his SKB hard cases along with them except for the snare case. It was fine because I had soft cases from my old drums and just used the snare case from that. However, I finally sold those, thus..I needed a case. I play out a lot, so I need something to protect my drums. These SKB cases have been awesome and definitely get the job done and I'm glad to finally have a complete set!

Perfect fits on my 14x6.5 snares. Highest quality, Protective foam inside. I’m so glad with this cases

I like all aspects of this case.It is worth the money and i would like to have enough for 9 cases.

The best strong case for the money you paid. In ternal he patted and hardshell case will protect your expensive investment.

If you play high end drums these are by far the best cases you can buy. Don't cheep out. Protect your investment!

I have a few of these and they are fantastic.

Protects my snare drum, its light, but strong. There was a bit of dust on this when it arrived, I guess its not that popular! The Glue on the inside which adheres the velvet to the outer casing was patchy at the top. Again, possibly age related. It was easier to repair my self rather than moan to amazon. Overall, really good case, Cand hold my 6.5" x 14" snare, 2 sets of sticks, stick control book, my pearl dampening pad, not book, couple of pens. This is strong and built to last. It is a must have if you are moving a snare over 200 quid at any time!
