A low-key design is coupled with ultra-durable materials to make the Meinl Carbon Ripstop Cymbal Bag ideal for traveling through packed city environments to get to the gig or studio.

The all black "carbon" exterior finish is made with strong 600D woven polyester ripstop. Extra threads forming a cross-hatch pattern add protection against rips and tears. This material is backed with a PVC lining to give the bag more structure and durability. Adjustable padded backpack straps with ABS ladder locks and chest buckle let you wear the bag comfortably on your back to keep your hands free. These straps may be tucked into the large rear pocket when not in use.

A thick, reinforced carrying grip gives you the ability to grab the bag quickly. For extra storage, the rear side features a large zippered pocket where you can stow spare parts, tools, accessories or sheet music. To get more use out of the exterior, the hi-hat compartment is equipped with a strip of heavy-duty webbed PP loops to attach a carabiner or any other clip. This is a great place to attach keys, a water bottle or quick access drum tools. Inside the main compartment, this heavily padded area holds cymbals up to 22” in diameter and includes four padded sewn-in cymbal dividers to prevent metal-on-metal contact.

The bottom features an extra-wide, thick EVA lining to protect cymbal edges and extend the life of the bag. The exterior hi-hat compartment fits cymbals up to 15” in diameter and includes a padded cymbal divider as well as a quick access pouch that’s perfect for a hi-hat clutch or drum key. All interior surfaces are made with 420D polyester woven fabric with PU coating for abrasion resistance.

Getting into the bag is made easy with large metal zipper pull handles. These coiled nylon zippers are strong and long-lasting while giving you a smooth, quick feel when opening and closing compartments. Topping off the bag, a subtle Meinl logo blends in with the dark finish for a high-end, minimalist look that doesn’t stand out.
