Protection Racket 6020R-00 Deluxe Cymbal Rucksack — 22″

On Your Back, Off Your Mind — Carry Your Full Cymbal Setup Without a Second Thought.

The Protection Racket 6020R-00 is the Deluxe Cymbal Case with rucksack straps — combining the trusted Deluxe platform’s 600-denier Racketex shell and 8mm Propadd dual-density foam with a fully padded backpack carry system. It’s built for drummers who navigate stairs, public transport, narrow backstage corridors, and crowded venues where a trolley is impractical and a shoulder bag wears you out fast. Carry your full cymbal rig — rides, crashes, hi-hats, chinas, and splashes — entirely hands-free, with your back properly supported and your cymbals safely divided inside.

Total cymbal capacity – 6 – Main + front pocket combined

Max cymbal diameter – 22” – Main compartment: 4 × up to 22″

Front pocket max – 1 – pair hi-hats + 2 splashes

Padded Rucksack Strap System

Fully padded, adjustable backpack straps distribute the weight of a full cymbal load evenly across both shoulders — comfortable for long walks, stairs, public transport, and anywhere a trolley can’t go.

Propadd Dual-Density Foam

3mm hard outer foam deflects impact; 5mm softer inner foam absorbs and dissipates shock — 8mm total protection that actively prevents force from reaching your cymbals, however rough the journey.

Racketex Waterproof Shell

600-denier abrasion-resistant polyester — 100% waterproof, UV-stable, and crack-resistant. Rated for monsoon commutes, outdoor festivals, and anything the Indian gigging calendar throws at you.

Removable Propile Fleece Dividers

Both the main compartment and the front pocket have removable Propile fleece dividers — keeping each cymbal separated and cushioned so metal never contacts metal on the move.

12″ Polyprop Base Protector

A 12″ polypropylene reinforcer is sewn between the Racketex exterior and Propadd inner at the base — preventing even the heaviest cymbal stacks from ever wearing through the bottom of the case.

Padded Carry Handle + Shoulder Strap

A foam/neoprene carry handle and a padded shoulder strap are fitted as standard alongside the rucksack straps — giving you three carry options for every situation at the gig.

Lightweight at ~3.0 kg

The Deluxe Rucksack weighs just 3.0 kg empty — significantly lighter than a wheeled trolley case — making it the practical choice for drummers who move fast and travel light to every gig.

YKK Zippers — Interlocking & Padlockable

Premium YKK nylon spiral-chain zippers with satin nickel-plated steel pulls — double-stitched, rot-proof, and interlocking so you can padlock them for airline checked baggage security.

Luggage Tag & Size Label

A silicone luggage tag for personal identification and a graphic size label showing diameter at a glance — so you always know which case is yours without opening a single zip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cymbals does the 6020R-00 hold in total?

It holds up to 6 cymbals in total. The main compartment takes 4 cymbals up to 22″ in diameter, each separated by removable Propile fleece dividers. The front outer pocket accommodates a pair of hi-hats (up to 15″) plus 2 splash cymbals — also with removable dividers. That covers a full standard gigging cymbal setup in one case.

Are the rucksack straps comfortable under a full cymbal load?

Yes. The straps are fully padded and adjustable, designed to distribute the weight of a loaded cymbal case evenly across both shoulders. The case itself weighs just 3.0 kg empty, and the balanced circular form factor of a cymbal case sits well on the back — far more comfortably than a rectangular kit bag of similar weight.

Is this a hard case or a soft case?

It’s a premium soft case from Protection Racket’s Deluxe range. The Propadd dual-density foam (3mm hard outer + 5mm soft inner) provides excellent impact protection while keeping the case lightweight and flexible. It is significantly more protective than a basic padded gig bag, though it does not have the rigid polycarbonate frame of the AAA range.

Can I use it for airline checked baggage?

Yes. The YKK zipper pullers are interlocking, so you can thread a padlock through them for checked baggage security. The Propadd foam and Racketex shell provide solid protection in transit. Consider additional bubble wrap for particularly rough handling, and always verify your airline’s instrument baggage policy beforehand.

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

No — Propile is a non-abrasive synthetic fleece that is safe on all cymbal finishes including natural, brilliant, satin, and hand-hammered surfaces. It gently wicks moisture and polishes away fingerprints and dust during loading, leaving your cymbals in better condition between gigs.

Does it have any carry options other than the rucksack straps?

Yes — a padded foam/neoprene carry handle and a padded shoulder strap are both fitted as standard alongside the rucksack straps. So you can carry it by hand, over one shoulder, or on your back — whichever the situation calls for.
