For the price, this is a very nice soft bag for storing and transporting your cymbals. The padding is nice to have. Since I have only been using it for a short time I cannot yet attest to it's long term durability, but it does seem well constructed.
I wondered why this cymbal bag was so affordable - there's even another Tuxedo bag that's significantly more expensive - and it turns out this bag is quite narrow. In comparison, my old Zildjian cymbal bag from over 20 years ago has a bottom that's about twice as wide. Because of that, this isn't really a good bag for China cymbals, especially ones with a tall profile. I also wonder how durable the bottom portion of this bag will be in the long run. As the image shows, only the bottom edge has a protective layer. My Zildjian bag has leather along the bottom edge and part way up the sides. Hopefully the fabric near the bottom seams won't fray over time. On the plus side, the bag is otherwise very well-made. The shoulder strap has metal clasps, which is nice - I've seen plenty of plastic clasps break. For the price, it's a good bag, if you don't need to put a lot of cymbals in it (BTW, it only has 3 dividers, which makes sense, considering how narrow the bag is).
