I did a lot of researching before I bought this, and trust me when I say it was the best buying decision I could have ever made.

This case is amazing. Great product, fits my 22" ride perfectly. Great for flights, road travel, and everyday use!

big and have grate protection for cymbals
Крутий, добрий захиÑÑ‚. дуже Ñтильний :)

The bag is not what it is hyped up to be. A few friends had recommended the brand to me as "the best bag out there". I was in the market for a durable, reliable cymbal bag and what I received was either defective or junk. I'm still trying to figure it out.

I purchased the 22" case and within a week of using it the strap on the left side ripped completely off at the base of the bag. In addition the plastic clip broke. I spoke to Amazon and they immediately sent me a new one. I also emailed Mono as well and asked them about their weight limit specification on the bag as I thought I may be over weight with 2 crashes a ride and hi hats. They informed me that that amount of weight should not have been a problem.

The 2nd bag arrived a few days later and again within a week it ripped but this time on the opposite strap at the base of the bag. Upon closer inspection of both bags I noticed that the material where the bag failed is a tarp(ish) material. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but i'm going to try another brand.

My previous (pretty cheap) cymbal bag finally wore out, so it was time to do my research and invest in a quality one. Once I figured out my budget and what I needed, I narrowed it down to a couple choices, then decided on this MONO bag. Ultimately it was the meeting point of price and great features that swayed me to make this purchase about a month ago.

Here are the KEY FEATURES I was looking for that this bag provides:
-Dividers. These go almost all the way up...good enough for me.
-A way to keep the smaller cymbals separate and secure. (Hats AND splash pockets? Nice touch MONO.)
-Reinforced bottom. My cymbals eventually wore through the bottom of my last bag.
-Waterproof exterior. Haven't tested in the rain yet, but I trust that it will live up to the description.
-Solid handle AND backpack straps for options on how to carry it. Seriously, if you travel a ways with a heavy bag, save your back the pain and use both backpack straps.
-Lightweight. Some cymbal bags are heavy before you even put the cymbals inside!
-Overall quality materials and craftsmanship. I need this to last.

The bag has a few other features that I didn't need, but that I consider COOL BONUSES:
-Drum key clip
-Hi-hat clutch pocket. I keep a cheap extra in there for peace of mind. It's guarded from the hats so I'm not worried about clinking and cracking the cymbals over time.
-Backpack straps can stow away. Their storage pocket covers almost the whole strap--a little shows at the top, but it's enough to keep them from dangling and getting in the way.
-The big flat exterior back pocket for storing the backpack straps can also fit your sheet music and drumsticks. But careful--this pocket has only one velcro seal in the middle, so if you don't keep the bag upright your sticks could escape.

My FEEDBACK:
-If you keep a key on the clip, it may clink against your hats. If you're afraid of chipping your hats, don't keep a key on the clip--maybe just stash it with the clutch. I DO use this clip, but so far just to hold my main keychain once I've sat down to play. Feels better than tossing them on the floor next to me.
-I was hoping for dividers in the smaller pockets as well. I have a few splashes and want to keep them separate. I may look into getting an insert or just keeping some soft cloth in there.
-When putting a cymbal in the back-most slot, it sometimes catches on the upper part of the "boot". This is an extra layer of interior padding that spans the bottom of the bag and goes a little ways up both sides, for extra protection on the bottom. No biggie. I'll get used to it I'm sure, but if your cymbal has a sharp/cut edge and you're not careful, maybe you would start to cut into the inside back wall of the bag. I'll just be more careful when using the back slot--the extra protection is worth it.
-Some other reviewers find fault in the plastic buckles. They do their job just fine so far. I guess they're not as high quality as the other materials used for this bag, but I probably wouldn't have noticed or considered this a fault myself. Maybe they'll be the first thing to go if mistreated, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

BOTTOM LINE:
-It delivers on all the important fronts (imho).
-For a gigging drummer with cymbals worth protecting, this bag is worth the investment.
-I am very happy with this purchase. Thanks MONO.
