See live pricesOverview and Materials
The Gewa 22" Premium Bundle is a dual-item set designed for touring drummers who require robust protection for their instruments. Both the cymbal and stick bags are manufactured using Cordura 600 Denier, a high-performance synthetic fabric known for being both tear-resistant and waterproof. This choice of material ensures the contents remain dry and secure during transit in various environmental conditions.
The interior of the cymbal bag is lined with velvet to prevent surface scratches on polished bronze, supported by 20mm of high-density foam padding. This level of cushioning is designed to absorb impacts that might otherwise cause edge damage or cracking to professional-grade cymbals.
Storage Capacity and Features
The primary cymbal bag is designed to accommodate cymbals up to 22 inches in diameter. A significant feature is the inclusion of a 15-inch exterior pocket, which provides separate storage for hi-hats, smaller effects cymbals, or percussion accessories. This prevents smaller items from knocking against the larger cymbals inside the main compartment.
For transport, the bag is equipped with a padded shoulder strap, reducing physical strain during load-ins. The handles and straps are reinforced to handle the considerable weight of a full set of bronze cymbals.
Stick Bag Specification
The included Premium Stick Bag offers a structured way to organise various striking implements. It features three internal pockets, allowing drummers to separate their standard sticks from more delicate mallets and brushes. Additionally, an external pocket with a Velcro fastener provides a secure location for small accessories such as drum keys, clutch spares, or dampening gels.
Target Audience and Comparison
This bundle is suited for intermediate to professional drummers who need a step up from basic unpadded bags. While budget options like the Rock Fusion Drum Bag Set by Gear4music offer general kit protection, the Gewa Premium line focuses specifically on the heavier and more fragile bronze components of the kit. It competes with other specialist transport solutions such as the Latin Percussion LP Cajon Bag in terms of build quality, though it is tailored specifically for the geometry of cymbals and sticks.
