Want to know what snare bags fit your new Dialtune snare the best?? Let's jump in and talk cases. Over the past few years, we've battle-tested countless snare cases for durability and strength. And given Dialtune's oversized 14" hoops, most 6.5x14" snare cases will fit, but that fit may be a little snug. Good news, we've put together a few options at different price points to help you narrow down what you're looking for.
$$$ Humes & Berg Enduro Pro Foam Hard Case
$$ Ahead Armor Case Soft Shell
$ Humes & Berg Galaxy Series Soft Shell
Let's start with the top of the line:
$$$ Humes & Berg Enduro Pro Foam Hard Case
Rough handling and soggy weather are no match for this foam-lined Humes & Berg Enduro Pro snare drum case. If you want one case that can do it all, it's this. Yes, Dialtune snares have oversized 14" hoops, but the Enduro Pro cradles Dialtune like a baby. The hard shell is compromised of a water- and impact-resistant polymer that's shockingly strong. No joke, we dropped one out of our truck to see what would happen. Basically, a ****-ton of scratches to the case, but ZERO issues with the drum. A good case is a good insurance policy. We felt safe tucking our Dialtune snare in each night, and you should too!
$$ Ahead Armor Case Soft Shell
This was BY FAR our favorite soft shell that we tested. Anyone can make outlandish claims about the quality of their drum bags, but Ahead has the goods to back it up. First of all, the Armor snare drum bag's TruForm design corresponds to the shape of Dialtune's oversized hoops, allowing for a snug yet not overly tight drum fit. On top of that, the zipper configuration makes taking Dialtune in and out of this case is a breeze.
Finally, Ahead's DX-Core provides peace of mind, thanks to two layers of high-impact foam padding plus the softness of a premium-grade Sherpa fleece lining! This fleece lining is amazing, and made the case feel extra premium. We wanted to sleep in here. For the price of this bag, this is a steal of a deal.
$ Humes & Berg Galaxy Series Soft Shell
We love Humes & Berg, and of the less expensive options this was a solid choice. This soft case is made from a specially formulated nylon and cushioned with half-inch padding to protect your Dialtune from scuffs, scratches, and light impacts.
