Dave does a lot of touring. A
lot of touring. He doesn't trust the safety of his drums,
cymbals, and hardware to just any cases.
XL’s Protechtor cases
are made by a process called rotational molding, which takes a
powdered plastic, melts it, and molds it into the exact shape of
the case. Protechtor cases are made of a high-density
polyethylene--the same as that used for the slides and toys in
McDonalds’ outdoor playlands. That equipment is weather-resistant
and unbreakable -- everything that you’d want a drum case to be.
Impact resistance is
among the highest in the industry. And since the process tends to
push more plastic into the corners of the molds than onto the
sidewalls, you get an extremely durable, resilient corner. Also,
because the material was created originally for the agriculture
and RV industries, it’s great for temperatures from 60 [degrees]
below zero to 200 [degrees] above. It even lends itself to being
drilled or reinforced with metal plates or brackets for
transportation or lifting. With some of the thinner plastic stuff,
as soon as you drill a hole and put a bracket into it, forget
about it.
