Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this bag recently as a birthday gift. It seems to be a great bag, seems to be well constructed, and has several nice features. Time will tell how it holds up. I will followup on this review after I have had it a while. I like that it has MANY ways to carry the bag; backpack straps, detachable single shoulder strap, well positioned padded carry handle, as well as a handy bottom loop of webbing (in the lower right of the default pic) that is hand for grabbing it out of the car. It appears to be made out of 1/2" foam padding, with a soft panel on the inside, and cordura like panel on the outside. There are two opposing zippers on the lid, and a single zipper on the top pocket. Zippers are their own brand, but seem to be of good quality, similar to YKK. The top zippered pocket is handy for carrying extras such as a tuning key, wallet, keys, etc..
The actual bag dimensions are:
Lid diameter edge to edge - 18.5"
Lid height - 1.5"
Body height - 24.75"
Base diameter edge to edge - 10.5"
You'll want to watch the sizing on this bag, especially if your djembe has a large bell on the bottom. My 14" Remo synthetic djembe (Remo Djembe Drum - Key Tuned (14 Inch, Earth Finish) with dimensions (14" head, 16" edge to edge top, 25.25" height, 8.25" edge to edge bottom diameter) fits in this bag just about perfectly. It actually stands about 1.5" taller than the bottom half of the zipper on the bag, but there is enough room to zip it closed, without pulling anything tight. I have a hand carved 12" Djembe (12.5" head, 14" edge to edge top diameter, 24.5" height, 9.75" edge to edge bottom diameter)that fits in fine, but when I put it in the bag, I have to coax the bottom bell in there. The top half of the drum is a bit loose in the case, but I don't think it will be an issue.
Overall, this seems to be a great bag that I can easily recommend.
