Recommended Stick Cases

Drumsticks are essential for playing the drums and should be stored in drumstick cases with care. Drumstick cases are not only convenient because they can not only store sticks, but they can also hold small items such as tuning keys and sheet music. Spare sticks can also be ready ready to go by hooking the stick case to a floor tom. In this issue, I’m going to introduce some of my recommended stick cases.

How to Choose a Stick Case

How many sets of sticks will you store?

The size of the case depends on how many sets of sticks it can hold.
If you want to keep your luggage small and light, choose a smaller case. If you use brushes and mallets in addition to sticks, you should choose a larger case. Some are long and narrow, while others are large enough to fit in a backpack, so think carefully about how many sticks you will be using and choose the right one.

Do you have anything else to store besides sticks?

If you’re looking to put your tuning keys, sheet music, cell phone, and wallet inside your case in addition to your sticks, I recommend a type of case with lots of storage space. In fact, I personally like to head to the studio with as little luggage as possible, so I go to the studio empty-handed with everything I need in a larger case!
If there is storage inside, you can neatly categorize your items and carry them with you.

Choose a case based on your favorite design and material

Stick cases are often associated with black, but in reality, there are many colorful options available. Additionally, there are cases with patterns that can help you stand out with your unique style.
Regarding materials, you can find options such as nylon, canvas, and leather, so you have a lot of choices to choose from!

Considering these aspects, let's choose a stick case that suits you!
