Showcasing the Brand New Meinl vintage Hyde and Vintage Canvas Collection! Some of the nicest cases we've had in store!

We’ve just had the Meinl Vintage Hyde and Vintage Canvas cymbal and stick bags arrive at Graham Russell Drums, and they’ve instantly become some of the nicest-looking cases we’ve had in the shop for a long time.

These aren’t just practical gig bags — they’re the kind of cases that feel like a proper part of your setup. The sort of thing you’d happily lean against your kit on stage or sling over your shoulder walking into a rehearsal, knowing they look as good as the cymbals and sticks inside them.

The 22" Vintage Hyde cymbal bag is the standout if you like a more rugged, old-school touring aesthetic. The leatherette-style outer gives it a really solid, premium feel, while the thick canvas interior and internal dividers keep cymbals properly separated and protected. It comfortably takes a full working cymbal setup, with a dedicated section for hi-hats and smaller cymbals, and feels reassuringly sturdy when fully loaded. The matching Vintage Hyde stick bag follows the same design language — tough, practical, and smart enough to feel at home everywhere from a pub gig to a studio session.

Alongside it, the Vintage Canvas range offers a slightly different vibe. The canvas finish feels classic and understated, almost like a well-worn hardware case straight out of a rehearsal room, but with modern padding and construction. The 22" Vintage Canvas cymbal bag is light, comfortable to carry, and sensibly laid out, whilst the matching Canvas stick bag gives you a clean, simple way to carry sticks, brushes, rods, or mallets without overcomplicating things.

What we really like about this range is that it doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. These bags do exactly what you want them to do, but they do it with style and confidence. They feel durable, well thought out, and built to be used — the kind of cases that will age nicely as they pick up a bit of character along the way.

If you’re in the shop, they’re well worth a look in person. They’re brand new with us, they look fantastic on the wall, and they won’t be hanging around long once people start getting their hands on them.
