Drum Bag 18″ – Mandala Oval Padded Rucksack & Carry Case for Frame Drums

Padded Drum Bag • Protection for the Journey

For many people, a drum becomes more than an instrument.

It may travel between meditation, ceremony, sound work, workshops and personal practice, and having a dedicated bag helps protect it along the way.

The padded cotton construction helps reduce everyday scuffs and light knocks, while the zip fastening and internal ties help keep the drum settled inside.

It is not a rigid flight case, but it offers a useful balance of protection, portability and comfort.

Drum Rucksack • Carry by Hand or on Your Back

The dual carry design gives you flexibility when travelling.

Use the hand straps for short journeys or wear the bag as a rucksack when you want to keep your hands free.

This makes it especially useful for:

• drum circles
• workshops
• retreats
• ceremonial gatherings
• rehearsals
• outdoor practice
• travelling between venues

The adjustable straps allow the carrying position to be adapted for comfort.

For 18" Frame & Shamanic Drums

This version is designed around 18" frame drums and similarly sized round or oval instruments.

It may suit:

• frame drums
• bodhráns
• shamanic-style drums
• natural skin or hide drums
• Remo-style frame drums
• similar compact hoop drums

Because handmade and natural-skin drums can vary in depth, handles and overall shape, always compare your own drum measurements with the bag dimensions before ordering.

Mandala Design • Practical with Personality

The colourful mandala front panel gives the bag a more expressive feel than a plain black case.

For anyone who uses their drum in meditation, sacred music or personal ritual, the design adds a little more intention and character while keeping the bag practical.

It also makes your case easier to recognise in workshops or group settings.

How to Use

Place the drum carefully inside the bag.

Use the internal cotton ties where appropriate to help keep it settled.

Close the zip without forcing it around the rim or handle.

Carry using the hand straps or adjust the shoulder straps to wear it as a rucksack.

Avoid overfilling the case with beaters or accessories if this places pressure against the drum skin.

Care & Storage

Keep the bag clean and dry.

Allow it to air naturally if it becomes damp.

Avoid placing very heavy objects on top of the bag when a drum is stored inside.

Keep away from open flame, candles and prolonged high heat.

Check the zip, seams and straps periodically if used regularly for travel.

NB:

As this item is textile-made, slight variations in mandala pattern placement, stitching, colour and finish may occur.

Please Note

The padded construction helps protect against ordinary knocks, scuffs and surface wear but does not provide the same impact protection as a rigid hard case.

For natural skin or hide drums, keep both the instrument and bag dry and avoid prolonged damp or extreme heat.
