Carrying Case?

Hello!
I was wondering if you guys have found any good cases or gig bags that work good for your mandalas.

I'm about to look for some that fit the 2 I just got.

Hey there,

This isn't a hardcore road-rugged case, but it helps with the transport between my studio and bandmates' houses. It's just a soft shell beer cooler I found on amazon. The dimensions were tricky to find an instrument-intended case, so this is what I ended up with.

I cut up the styrofoam from the actual V3 shipping boxes to put between the drums. I knew that I didn't want to stack them.

That looks like it will protect the pads well for short trips. If you ever store them for an extended time in that case you can also insert the round plate sized pieces of foam that were on the surfaces of your pads when they shipped to keep your surfaces nice and flat.

Thanks! That was the idea going through my head. Just finding a case big enough.

I was so excited to try these things I didn't even think about getting a case and keeping the foam that came with em. I wound up throwing them out and realizing I should have kept them a week later haha.

I just ordered 2 more and definitely going to keep the foam this time. I'll just make a new one with pluck and pull foam.

Thanks guys!
