Protection Racket 22x17" Bass Drum Case

Protection Racket's 22” × 17” bass drum case (catalogue 1722-00) uses Propadd P2 foam construction to create a semi-rigid enclosure that maintains structural integrity whether loaded or empty. Internal dimensions of 25½” × 20½” provide clearance for hardware and bearing edges. The case weighs under 3.5 kilograms, making frequent lifting and van-loading considerably less taxing during transit between venues or studios.

The semi-rigid foam design distinguishes itself from fully rigid flightcases by offering superior balance between protection and portability. Unlike soft cases that collapse around the drum when empty, the Propadd P2 formula holds its shape, allowing straightforward insertion and removal without fumbling or deformation risk. This particular 22” × 17” footprint accommodates mid-to-large format kick drums common in jazz trios, fusion ensembles, and contemporary acoustic recording setups. The case's generous internal volume accounts for lugs, tension rods, and bearing hardware without binding the shell.

Protection Racket cases suit both stationary recording environments and regular touring schedules. The lightweight construction appeals to drummers managing their own gear transport, whilst the protective foam core remains thick enough to absorb road shock and venue mishaps. Musicians rotating between multiple kick drum sizes benefit from Protection Racket's comprehensive range, ensuring each shell receives appropriately sized, damage-resistant storage.
