Transporting drum hardware is one of the most overlooked parts of a gigging setup - stands and pedals take a beating in transit, and a good hardware bag makes a significant difference to how long they last. Protection Racket's hardware range covers wheeled bags for full stand setups, compact bags for lighter rigs, dedicated pedal cases, and a throne case.
Which Hardware Case Do You Need?
Full stand setup with wheels - Wheeled hardware bags in 28", 38", and 47" lengths - the most practical option for drummers who move a full hardware setup regularly
Standard hardware case without wheels - Available in 28", 36", and 47" lengths for drummers who prefer a traditional bag format
Drum throne - The Deluxe Throne Case protects your stool in transit - often forgotten until the seat gets damaged
Which Length Hardware Bag Do I Need?
As a guide: 28" suits a compact stand setup with 3-4 stands. 36"-38" suits a standard 4-5 stand setup. 47" suits a larger setup with 5+ stands or longer boom stands. When in doubt, go longer - a bag that's too short is unusable, a bag that's too long just has extra space.

Frequently Asked Questions
As a general guide, a 28" bag suits a compact setup with 3-4 stands, a 36"-38" bag suits a standard 4-5 stand setup, and a 47" bag suits a larger setup with 5 or more stands or longer boom stands. When in doubt, choose the longer size - a bag that is too short cannot be used, while a bag that is slightly too long simply has extra space.
