These cases saved my drums - Vangoa Drum Cases Unbox and Review
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video begins with the host addressing a significant mishap where he left his bass drum face down on a rug in an unfinished basement, exposing it to water and pests for years. To rectify this damage and prevent future accidents, his friends at Vangoa sent him a set of brand new drum cases specifically designed for a five-piece kit. Although the host currently owns a four-piece set, he proceeds to test three of the cases with his existing drums to evaluate their quality and protective capabilities, noting that his previous experience with a Vangoa throne was so positive that he had high expectations for these new products.
Upon unboxing, the host highlights the excellent packaging and vacuum-sealed nature of each case, which features a stylish brown leather-like strip with the Vangoa logo on the front. Inside, the cases are lined with a reddish-brown rust tone padding that offers both aesthetic appeal and protection. A key feature emphasized is their water-resistant capability, which can repel moisture rather than just preventing spills, along with sturdy carrying straps and handles. The host demonstrates how easily the bass drum fits into its dedicated case, noting that the secure fit allows for safe transport in vans or on buses without worrying about damage during gigs.
The review continues as the host tests cases for his snare drum and toms, specifically a Brazilian vintage penguin snare and various tom sizes ranging from 10 inches to 16 inches. He points out practical details such as the small grippies on the bottom of the cases that prevent them from tipping over and the clear labeling inside which helps keep track of specific drums like the floor tom once it is returned. Despite a minor issue with a loose screw on one case, he concludes that these are durable investments that will last for a long time, effectively solving his storage problems by keeping instruments off the floor and out of harm's way.
In conclusion, the host expresses his high satisfaction with the Vangoa drum cases, praising their super high quality and recommending them strongly to anyone looking to protect their gear. He plans to keep all his drums in these cases moving forward to ensure they remain safe from environmental hazards like moisture and physical impact. The video serves as a strong endorsement for the product, suggesting that the cost is well worth the investment given the longevity and reliability of the cases, encouraging viewers to check them out for their own drum kits.

Hey guys, my friends at Vangoa sent me
over some brand new drum cases to check
out and it came at the perfect time
because I went downstairs to pick up
this bass drum and I made the absolute
cardinal mistake and I left this
face down on a rug in my unfinished
basement and it has been basically
sitting in water for
who knows, a couple years. It dries, it
gets a little wet, it dries, it gets a
little wet. There are bugs crawling on
this drum. I made a big mistake. So,
thank you to Vangoa for sending these
cases over. Let's check them out and get
this drum protected.
All right, so this is a set of drum
cases that's made for a five-piece set.
I have a four-piece and actually today
we're just going to be putting three in
the cases just to check it out. Very
well packaged. I have had a Vangoa
throne before and it was super high
quality so I expect nothing different
here.
Each case comes in its own bag. Let me
get these out and then we will
take them out of the bags and then we'll
check them out with the drums in it and
check out all the features. All right,
so they are vacuum sealed. So, let me
open it up here. Let me poke this and
get it open.
So, let's check this out. This is
obviously going to be our bass drum case
which is
very much what I need because again, I
absolutely screwed that up. These are
very nice Vangoa logo right on the
front. It's got a brown
strip across it. Has a nice kind of
leather look to it.
The inside of these, as you can see, has
a cool color to it, kind of a
reddish brownish kind of nice rust tone
to it which I like. Nice padded inside
to them. They are water resistant.
They're not You're not going to spill a
drink on it. You don't want to do that,
but they they will repel water nicely.
They have a nice carrying strap. So,
let me put the bass drum in here and
then we'll see how it looks with the
drum. It fits perfectly.
Uh nice easy strap right here.
So, you can take it in and out of gigs,
throw this, you know, put it in the back
of a van,
on the bus, whatever you need to do,
fits it perfectly.
Um
nice protection. That's the bass drum.
Let's check out another
bag.
All right, in this package we have what
appears to be uh this is probably going
to be the 16-in
or this is probably the 14-in, a 10-in,
and a 12-in.
So, the 14
is going to be for a snare. This has
nice handles as well. Cases are
something where
once you buy them, it's a good
investment and you can have them for a
long time. That's what this is. These
are very good cases that I would
recommend to anyone.
Um
and it says this is for a 14
by 6 and 1/2 snare. So, this we're going
to throw in there. Um it has a little
rattle. I got to tighten a screw in
there. All my stuff is messed up now.
This is a Brazilian vintage penguin
snare. Let's put this in here. Let me
bring it over here so you can see.
Uh
hopefully this is the right size. I
didn't measure my snare.
And then this snare will be nice and
protected
with these cases. So, goes on very
easily.
Put this on like this.
Zip it up.
Absolutely no problem there.
And then
now the snare is protected. So, like I
said, it's got little grippies on the
bottom. Now I see that those are to prop
these and it'll hold it up and not fall
over.
12-in tom right here that will store
and get these things off of the floor
cuz again, I was doing what you're not
supposed to do.
Fits in there very nicely. That one's
super easy cuz it's got
uh smaller hardware. And then this is
going to be
our 16-in
tom. And then these are labeled on
there, which is awesome. So, I don't
have the floor tom with me, but when I
get it back, I will put it in there and
keep these drums safe. So, again,
super high quality. Highly recommend
them. Vango sent these over to me and
I'm very pleased with them. I will keep
my drums in them and keep them safe. And
I recommend that you guys check them
out. Very worth it. These will last you
a very long time.
