I've always used PR cases, but thought i'd give these a go. The construction is as good if not better than the PR. They are sturdy especially when zipped and still have that nice little bit of leeway where if you need to squeeze that one last case in a gap, it'll fit! The part that's really handy, is that they open on the side that you would position the tom mount, so rather than it being a hassle to get the drum in/out of the case it's completely unhindered, bit more work to do unzipping etc but great feature, you don't have to zip the case open if you don't want to as the lid will open as a normal soft case would. This set is an absolute bargain especially at the moment which the €-£ ratio. If your'e in the market for some soft cases why not try them, i'm looking to replace my ageing other case set on my 2nd kit too. That's how good i think they are.
