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.

2those sizes are not that unusual... the only one that might be hard to find is the 26" and you might have to get a 10"x13" for the mounted tom...
Try http://www.interstatemusic.com or http://www.drummaker.com.
I've ordered a few little things from both places, although their websites are a little hard to navigate... they have lots of different drum bag sizes, but are more expensive than you would think...
good luck!

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.

4Our drummer uses a 28". We call it the choad.
We just recorded with it. I'll post photos.

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.

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