Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A hard-shell-style protective case cut for one 22 x 18 in. bass drum. For drummers who gig or ship a kit and want the kick protected.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Drummers loading a 22 x 18 kick in and out of vehicles weekly
  • Protecting the largest, most awkward drum during storage between gigs
  • Building a per-drum case set one size at a time

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone with a 24 in. or 20 in. kick — sizing is exact
  • Players who never move the kit off the riser
  • Drummers wanting one bag to hold a whole kit

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Ahead Armor Cases Bass Drum Case 22 x 18 in. construction detail

Detail 01

22 x 18 in.

Diameter first, depth second. It fits a 22 in. kick that is 18 in. deep. Other depths sit wrong or won't close.

Detail 02

Case, not a soft sleeve

Built to take stacking and cargo handling rather than just dust and fingerprints.

Detail 03

Black

Hides scuffs, but at load-in every drum case is black. Tape or tag it so it comes home with you.

Detail 04

Single-drum case

Covers the kick only. A full kit means buying a case per drum, each matched to that drum's size.

Detail 05

$177.99

This is the priciest piece in a per-drum case set because the bass drum is the biggest shell to wrap.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No drum included — this is the case alone
  2. 02Measure over the hoops, not the shell, before trusting the 22 x 18 label
  3. 03Pedal, throne and hardware need separate storage

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a 22x20 bass drum?

No. The depth is cut for 18 in. A 20 in. deep shell is two inches too long and won't seat properly.

02Does it fit a 22 in. bass drum with the spurs still on?

It is sized to a 22 x 18 drum. Spurs and mounts add to the outside dimension, so measure your drum at its widest points first.

03Can I check this on a flight?

It is built for transport and stacking rather than baggage handling. For air travel, most drummers use a flight case rated for that abuse.

04Do I need one case per drum?

Yes. Each case is cut to one drum size. A four-piece kit takes four cases, each matched to that shell's diameter and depth.
