Compatibility and construction
The internal mold is optimized for a standard 13" x 5.5" snare drum, with calculated clearances to accommodate hoops and hardware without the drum moving around inside the case. The shell is manufactured using rotational molding , a process that provides uniform thickness and high impact resistance; the padded red micro-velvet interior hugs the instrument to prevent micro-bumps and abrasion.
