Gewa SPS E-Drum Gigbag

Given the increased popularity of electronic drum kits for the working drummer, it is a little surprising how difficult it is to find cases for them.

I actually found this case on another (German) website, but I found that Thomann was a little cheaper and their delivery windows are very familiar for me.

That being said, Thomann managed to botch the delivery address (I checked out properly using PayPal, but Thomann seem to have combined my correct PalPal address with an old address they had on file for me). They were bizarrely unable to contact the courier (THEIR courier, after all!) themselves, so I had to do it once it hit the UK. Subsequently delivery took twice as long as normal, but it got to me eventually.

Anyway, on to the product itself!

This is very well made and seems ideally suited to my TD30SE. The (non adjustable) dividers cater for all the pads, cymbals and module. I actually prefer this method. In my last bag the dividers fixed to the side using velcro. I realise this is good for flexibility, but what actually happens is all the dividers fall off one-by-one - unless you re-attach them all every time you unload it.

The only gripe I can think of, is that the shoulder strap actually stops you from opening the bag fully. I don't suppose the shoulder strap is much use in practise (the bag is VERY heavy when fully loaded) but if it's important to you - you may struggle.

After a couple of years of usage it is now completely broken.
The space between the wheels and the body of the bag is too short and when carrying it over in not perfect surfaces it scratch on the ground, and as the material of the body in that place is not completely hard it just get broken every time more.
The zip get broken as well.
For that price I was expecting something much more durable

Die Verarbeitung der Tasche ist sehr gut. Die Rollen, Griffe und Reißverschlüsse machen einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Auch das Außenfach ist mit ca. 75 cm groß genug um evtl. Rack-Teile noch zu verstauen. Es gibt genug große und auch kleine Fächer um sein E-drum unterzubringen.
Nun aber zu den Nachteilen:

1. Die Fächer sind fest vernäht. Sinnvoller wäre es meiner Meinung nach gewesen sie nur mit Klettschverschluss zu befestigen, um sie in der Breite nach anzupassen. Meine Roland-Pads in 12 und 10" passen jedoch einwandfrei hinein.

2. Die Tasche hätten können einen Tick höher ausfallen, dann hätte auch mein 15" E-Cymbal vollständig hineingepasst. So steht es ein wenig über und passt gerade so diagonal in eines der Fächer. Alle restlichen Becken kleiner 15" passen wunderbar.
Ansonsten jedoch ein sehr gelungenes Produkt.
