big friggin kick drum

1
I'm looking for a place that will put together a custom order for gig bags for my drum kit. I play an unusually large kit so this has proven somewhat troublesome. Here are the dimensions of the bags I need:

26" x 16" bass drum
13" x 9" mounted tom
16" x 16" floor tom
18" x 16" floor tom

Cost is an issue so soft cases would be preferred over hard shells. Any help would be appreciated.

And even that one isn't that unusual. As far as I know, all production made (i.e., Ludwig, Gretsch, etc.) 26" bass drums are 16" deep. You shouldn't have any problem finding a case for it.

EDIT: After a 30 second Google search I found this site...I'm sure that there are a ton of other ones out there.
Oh, and fuck Mars Volta.

true, it's less unusual now. when i bought my kit (stainless steel ludwig) 4-5 years ago it was more difficult to find heads and whatnot for my 14"x26" kick... your normal Musician's Friend and GC didn't have much. I finally snagged a 16"x18" floor tom and am using my 16"x16" as a rack tom now... i'm aiming for ridiculous.

We just recorded with it. I'll post photos.


it must be impossible to get the beater anywhere near the center of the head... i think YOB's drummer had a 28".
