The outer of the bag seems very good, the zip seems okay , the thickness of padding gives good protection for the drum. However, the inner lining is very poor and ripped when I put the drum into for the second time. Because it was at the end of a gig I had to cover the rip with duct tape. In my opinion the lining is too flimsy, too thin and not up to the standard of the other components that make up the bag as a whole.
