Drum Cases at Drum Center of Portsmouth
If there's something any drummer can agree on, it's that a quality traveling case is a must. Drum Center of Portsmouth has you covered when it comes to the best hard and soft cases around.
To keep your drumming gear in pristine condition, you must care for it properly. Maintenance involves placing it in a quality case when traveling or storing away. These instruments take a lot of beatings (literally!), and a case offers a way to keep your kit looking new. We provide hard and soft protective cases — the right one for you depends on your preferences.
Hard cases with soft interiors offer the highest level of protection. They hug your equipment and keep it safe from any hits and bumps during tours. If you're looking for a less expensive, lighter alternative, consider a soft case. They also do an excellent job keeping your set safe from moisture, scratches, or bumps.
Browse through our impact-resistant cases from top brands like Pearl, Zildjian, Sabian, and more. Quickly find what you're looking for by filtering your search to a specified brand, category, and price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Drum Cases FAQs
What types of drum cases are available?
Drum cases come as hard cases (rigid plastic or wooden) for maximum protection, and soft bags (padded fabric) for lighter protection at lower cost and weight.
When should I use hard cases vs. soft bags?
Hard cases are essential for airline travel, professional touring, and long-term storage. Soft bags are ideal for local gigs, home storage, and easier transport.
Which brands make quality drum cases?
SKB, Humes & Berg, Hardcase, Gator, Protection Racket, Beato, and Ahead are all respected case brands with different specialties (touring-grade hard cases, padded gig bags, specialty cases).
Do I need separate cases for each piece?
Yes - hardware, drum shells, cymbals, and accessories all benefit from dedicated cases. Many drummers use a mix - hard cases for drums, bags for cymbals/hardware.
Does DCP carry cases for vintage and odd-size drums?
Yes - we stock cases in standard and specialty sizes, including options for vintage and unusual drum dimensions.
