Protection Racket's 42" Gong Case (model 7279-52) brings the same engineering rigour found in the Proline cymbal range, with a purpose–built design for transporting large gongs safely. The case features fully adjustable and padded ergonomic rucksack straps, transforming what could be an awkward carry into a comfortable, distributable load across both shoulders. This matters for working musicians who gig regularly or session players shuttling between studios and venues.
Internal dimensions measure 43.5" × 3.5", providing clearance beyond the nominal 42" shell size to accommodate hardware fixtures and fittings without compression. The padded strap system is built for extended wear, reducing fatigue during transport to rehearsal spaces, recording sessions, or live performances. Construction matches Protection Racket's established Proline specification, meaning the case delivers the same protective standards as their drum and percussion cases across the entire catalogue.
The 42" size sits at the upper end of practical gong dimensions for most performing contexts–larger than orchestral crash cymbals but manageable for touring drummer–percussionists or session specialists working with world music, avant–garde, or contemporary classical repertoire. Internal depth of 3.5" accommodates traditional gong profiles without requiring oversized external dimensions that complicate van or flight transport.
