Excellent safe home for your cymbals, and cheap too!
I have always been disappointed with cymbal cases and bags. Bags are light but don't offer protection, cases seem to be fiddly, and involve tightening screws for what seems like forever. I was wary when I first looked at this product, as it seemed that the spindle had no sleeving and so would damage the cymbals, and I couldn't work out how the cymbals were clamped in ti so thought they may move about ini transit and rub against each other.
Well, I needn't have worried. The spindle doesn't have sleeving, but doesn't need any. It is highly polished and offers a tight fit for the cymbals so there will be no rubbing or wear on the cymbal hole. It also comes with a clamp which is slid over the top cymbal and tightened, holding it in place. I may put a felt washer between the clamp and the cymbal, but this is easily done.
The case is quite heavy, so with cymbals is not a light option, but when you have people thinking they are being helpful and carrying your stuff and then dropping it, I feel like my cymbals are safe as houses in this, and it also was loads cheaper than other cases, such as the hardcase one, which I also have and I find really annoying to use.
Save some money, keep your cymbals safe, and buy this. It also locks.

Living the high life...
I have to say that I like this case very much. Before I got it I used to drag around a brand name cymbal bag, and was not at all satisfied. It's incredible that this case is lighter than the bag that I have. Interior of the case is lined with a fur imitation fabric. The central spindle has a tightening ring that holds the cymbals in place, and it slides on and off nicely, but the tightening screw can be somewhat difficult to grasp. After you place your cymbals on it inside the case there is still enough space for some sticks, or maybe cymbal arms, clamps and such small accessories. The outside material is some kind of leather imitation along the sides, and the largest part of the surface is covered with the standard black textured rubbery material. It doesn't look quite top notch, but it does not look cheap either, so I guess you could call it mid range. The closing buckles latch on with no trouble, and I have to commend the small metallic legs which are placed both on the bottom surface, and the bottom side so you can lay the case down, or leave it standing up on its side.
Another thing to consider is the size of the case - I'm 180 cm high and just about manage to carry it around with an outstretched arm when on even ground. For somebody shorter this might be somewhat more challenging. The handle on the case is quite comfortable and fits nicely in your hand.
I would recommend this case.

Super safe to transport!
I bought this case for my cymbals because I never had a bag or anything similar so this case was the perfect thing for me, it's super safe, resistant and to heavy like I thought it would be! 10/10 would recommend!

Looks great, feels great
I can't believe that so good case costs so little - it is not light, but it certainly can hold multiple cymbals (I transport my 12" crash, 14" hi-hats, 16" crash, 18" crash and 20" ride - 6 cymbals). Looks good too, and one thing, that my girlfriend liked - the key to the case looks like a guitar!
I recommend it!

Works as intended
A solid case, I can easily fit 5 cymbals inside it, just don't expect to have a lot of room left if you put in a china cymbal. Seems like it is a quality build, and can't really find anything wrong with it, especially for the price. Highly recommended.

Good
This is a great cymbal case!
Very sturdy, stable and well built! I have used it many times, since I have too travel a lot, by plane, boat, car, truck... and have had no problems whatsover. It protecs your cymbals perfectly! However, the finish material isn't very resistant, and tears easily.

Strong, sturdy, and great value
I was after a product simply to store my cymbals in while touring. I've had a problem with using bags, because my mega bell ride tends to bend cymbals in the bag leading them to crack. This however, means I can store HiHats, 2 Chinas, 2 Crashes without risk of cracking, and have my ride in my old cymbal bag on it's own.
It's extremely sturdy considering the price and the cymbals are secure. I highly recommend it, even if it adds weight to your journey, you'll save money on broken cymbals.

Perfect For Flights
Got this for travelling abroad doing gigs and it work like a charm. Being on airplanes it gets thrown around a bit but my cymbals didn't budge and the case wasn't scratched a bit, wouldn't recommend it for carrying around doing regular gigs as its a bit heavy even without cymbals.

Sturdy protection for cymbals.
This box does exactly what it says, and has been reliable since purchase. Good secure central locking for the cymbals, and take and knocks or bangs our drummer throws at it. Great buy.
