Protection Racket A6021-00 AAA Deluxe Rigid Cymbal Vault Case — 24″

One Case. Your Whole Cymbal Setup. Zero Compromises on Protection.

The Protection Racket A6021-00 is the AAA Cymbal Vault — the flagship cymbal case in Protection Racket’s most advanced Triple AAA range. Designed for the working gigging and touring drummer, it solves the single biggest cymbal transport problem: getting an entire setup from rehearsal to stage and back without a scratch, a chip, or a bent bow. A polycarbonate inner frame gives it the structural integrity of a traditional hard case at a fraction of the weight, while eight individually divided internal compartments ensure cymbals never contact each other in transit.

24″- Maximum cymbal diameter

Triple A-Plex Polycarbonate Frame

A structural polycarbonate skeleton (Rocket Foam) runs the full circumference of the case — providing hard-case rigidity while keeping total weight to just 4 kg / 8.8 lb. Strong enough to stand on.

8 Divided Internal Compartments

Eight individual fleece-lined sections with fiberglass inserts keep each cymbal separated, cushioned, and upright — eliminating metal-on-metal contact that causes edge chips and keyhole cracks.

Hi-Hat & Splash Pockets on Lid

Dedicated pockets on the inside of the case lid accommodate hi-hats and splash cymbals — keeping smaller cymbals safely stowed without wasting space in the main compartments.

Racketex Waterproof Exterior

600-denier abrasion-resistant polyester that is 100% waterproof, UV-stable, and fade-proof — fully at home in monsoon loading bays, dusty festival sites, and cold storage vans alike.

Propile Fleece Interior

Non-abrasive synthetic Propile fleece lining wicks moisture from cymbal surfaces and polishes as you load — preserving bell definition, surface finish, and tonal quality between every gig.

Triple Carry System

A padded ergonomic top handle, a fully adjustable padded shoulder strap, and Pro-Grip side handles give you three ways to carry — however the gig demands it, your back is looked after.

Trolley-Ready Back Panel

An open back panel with a zipped pocket slots directly onto any luggage trolley handle — essential for airports and large venues where hand-carrying a full cymbal load isn’t practical.

Heavy-Duty Spiral Chain Zippers

Double-stitched, rot-proof nylon spiral-chain zippers with bonded nylon thread seams — built to open and close thousands of times without failure, even in humid or wet conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cymbals does the A6021-00 hold?

The main compartment holds up to 8 cymbals (up to 24″ diameter) in individual divided sections. Additionally, the inside of the lid has dedicated pockets for hi-hats and splash cymbals, giving you capacity for a full gigging setup — rides, crashes, hi-hats, chinas, and splashes — in one case.

What is the maximum cymbal size that fits?

The case accommodates cymbals up to 24″ in diameter.

Will my china cymbal fit?

Yes. The internal compartments are designed to accommodate the round bell china specification, meaning standard china cymbals with upturned edges fit without issue — they don’t need to be removed from their sleeve or placed flat.

Is this a hard case or a soft case?

It’s Protection Racket’s rigid hybrid construction — a polycarbonate Triple A-Plex inner frame gives it the structural rigidity of a hard case, while the 600-denier Racketex exterior keeps it lightweight at just 4 kg. It is far more protective than any standard cymbal bag, and far lighter than a traditional hard-shell ABS cymbal case.

Can I use it as checked airline baggage?

Many touring drummers use this case for checked airline baggage thanks to its rigid construction and heavy-duty zippers. The trolley-compatible back panel also makes navigation through airports much easier. Always check your airline’s instrument baggage policy, and consider additional padding wrap for extreme handling.

Does the fleece lining scratch cymbal surfaces or affect the finish?

No — Propile fleece is non-abrasive by design. It gently wicks moisture from cymbal surfaces and polishes latent fingerprints and dust during loading. It is safe for all cymbal finishes including natural, brilliant, satin, and hand-hammered surfaces.
