sorry guys, had to point it out.

i dont know any flight cases either tho, so my post is really double useless.

Uk im a Londoner,

thanks Pilchard, what kinda case you guys recommend for drum machines? something I can cut the foam to size?

Hey Homie.
I was ordering from CPC last night and spotted this...

It's a really good price (but add VAT). Shipping is free atm as well. I order from them a lot and they usually sell good quality at cheap prices. You will need to order by 17th May to guarantee that price though. And follow the instructions on the homepage to get the free shipping.
If you need different size or specs, let me know as I have the catalogue with the cheap prices in.

I'll keep looking out for bargains.
Hope this helps.

Depends which drum machine you had in mind.
SKB make a very good DM case (which I have) that fits MPC2000 and XL
It cost me about a ton or so, which sounds a lot but it's a very good case with foam blocks as you said

You may be able to find it cheaper



If you have a larger DM, a dedicated case might be required. Let us know which you have in mind.

Thanks bro,

probably gonna cop this 6u for 2 pieces and lookout for a larger case for a DM , I need a large case something that can handle say a 1200 but I can add foam blocks to carry a DM when I need to.

I found the above on the cheaper side of the scale sadly there too small, perfect for smaller machines that can fit in the dimensions.

Before you buy that CPC one, I found you a better price.

Same unit but cheaper.

cheers bro,

just need to measure my racks see if they fit the depth of the case.

if you are shipping them underneath the airport, do you really want to get the cheapest you can find?

i think in the case of strangers handling your expensive gear along with thousands of others, i would spend the extra money and get one that is ATA rated.

These joints look mad cheap and not sturdy whatsoever

Just thought I'd chime in to say, carrying an MPC60/3000/SP in a flightcase for any length of time is an arm killer. I found this out the hard way. The cases with a handle and wheels are def worth the money. A couple of my flightcases are quite heavy even when they are empty, but they are not made from ABS. I got them with gear that I bought.
