So far, first impressions of the bag are very impressive; the heavy-duty stitching and the padding are impressive. I use the bag to house my 18" crash-ride, 2x14" hi-hats and an 8" splash, so this is pretty convenient. My only gripe is that I wish there was some way to ensure that the cymbals don't touch each other when in the bag (this can be achieved with a soft cloth.) Also, the bag was shipped folded in the box, but that didn't seem to affect the padding in any way. Only time will tell how this cover will hold up throughout it's use.
