I love this case. It's about as inexpensive as you'd ever want it to be (without losing quality). The zippers are heavy-duty with a tough pull tab and thick zipper material, not flimsy plastic. After you have slipped the drum inside, it couldn't fit more perfectly. I would guess that it should, also, fit any other 12" x 25" Djembe (although it would probably not fit any Djembe with a head bigger than 13"... but that's just a guess). They placed the handle on the side so that it balances flat-and-even as you carry it. Then, they also gave you a shoulder strap which they've continued up-and-over the top, well sewn all the way for extra strength. There is a side pocket with a velcroed flap where I put a plastic bag that has the manual for my Djembe, a Djembe Drum Key and the rings that Remo gives that dampen ringing, in case I ever need those I'll know where to find them. The padding is only very light padding (probably a thin layer of foam sewn between two layers of cloth); but it's certainly better than having no padding at all. I usually hang my Djembe on the wall by its carrying strap at the top; this case, because it has two zippers, can zip up to the two sides of that carrying handle which still allows me to hang it on its wall hook (just one of those hooks you get to hang plants from the ceiling re-inforced with a really strong plaster, screwed directly into wood) by the strap. There are only one con that I see: 1. It smells of plastic, straight out of the box. I imagine that the smell will go away the more that I use it; but right at the moment I hang my drum to the left of my couch and it's pretty strong smell as I watch TV. (An update... it has now been a couple of weeks since I purchased it and took it out of it's plastic bag. It no longer has the strong smell to it.) All-in-all? I love how it has no logos silkscreened all over it. I love how well it fits a 12" x 24" Remo. I love that it has a velcroed pocket (they didn't even mention it. I was hoping it would have one; and it did). A great product, well designed and of good strong materials.Read full review

It was very tight to try to force the bottom part to fit. I don't have a use for it right now. Didn't bother to return it because there's a 20% restocking fee and return shipment isn't free unlike other companies. It is a good product and seems durable though. Just fitting didn't work for my djembe.

Nice bag at a very good price. Fits my Remo Arthur Hull key tuned Ashiko perfectly. Almost as if it were custom made for that particular drum. I like the fact that it's just plain black and not covered with some crazy graphics or gigantic brand logo. Can't speak to the long term durability of it as I haven't taken it out more than once so far, but it seems to be built pretty well. Padded just enough to keep your drum from being scratched and banged up if handled with reasonable care. I would definitely buy another one in the future if they can keep them around the current pricing with the free shipping.

I purchased this bag along with a Djembe drum for my son's birthday present. It is well made, and the padding makes it great in keeping the drum protected from rough handling and weather. My son was very pleased with his gift!

EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY..5*****!!! First I bought 1 bag for my 12 x 20 In. Mid East Bolt Tuned Doumbeck. It fit great, although a little long for it, so I just tucked in what was left over inside the bottom bell, and whala, it even stands up great! I was so impressed with the quality, build & price point of this bag, I immediately bought 2 more for my Roped Tuned 12X24 Djembe, and My 12X26 Ashira Drum....They both fit Great, with the Djembe coming a couple of inches short @ the top. which I filled with a folded small towell!!!
