Designed by Drummers, for Drummers

Protection Racket isn’t just another drum case brand it’s a company built by people who understand what drummers need. Each case is crafted with real-world use in mind, from load-ins at rainy festivals to last-minute venue changes and the occasional airport mishap. Whether you’re transporting a full drum kit, cymbals, or hardware, these cases offer the perfect blend of lightweight portability and rugged protection.

Key Features of Protection Racket Drum Cases

What sets Protection Racket apart is their focus on premium materials, intelligent design, and consistency. Every product is engineered to solve real-life problems faced by gigging musicians.

• Waterproof Racketex™ Outer Shell
  The exterior is made from high-abrasion-resistant 600-denier polyester, treated to repel water and resist UV fading. This means your cases stay looking new, gig after gig, even under the harshest conditions.

• Propile™ Inner Fleece Lining
  The ultra-soft, synthetic fleece interior cushions your drums and prevents scratches, scuffs, or damage to delicate finishes—ideal for high-gloss or lacquered shells.

• Rocket Foam™ and Triple A-Plex™ Technology
  In the AAA rigid case range, you get the added protection of a crush-resistant polycarbonate frame surrounded by shock-absorbing closed-cell foam. It’s tough enough for air travel, van life, and beyond—without the added weight of bulky plastic or metal cases.

• Heavy-Duty Zips and Ergonomic Handles
  Featuring high-tension zippers and padded handles that won’t fail you on the road, each case is designed for ease of transport, whether you're loading into a local venue or catching a flight.

• Built-In ID Tags and Silicone Branding
  Stylish and functional, these extras help you identify your gear quickly.
