Excellent cymbal bag for the price.
I've found when budget is a concern, it's best to buy the most expensive top of the range products from a company/line that make budget versions, rather than a cheap range from an expensive company. That way, you tend to get good build quality, materials, and innovation, at a price that is usually cheaper than buying a bottom of the range product from an expensive company.
This cymbal bag is no exception. Thomann's own brand are known for being the cheaper option, and whilst I wouldn't buy their extremely cheap cymbal bags, this one still works out good value for money.
Tough, sturdy construction. Good zips. Good design. The separate cymbal compartments allow for good options, and the shoulder straps are great - these are only usually found on expensive bags.
The only negatives are that the hi-hat compartment doesn't have a divider to keep the hi hat cymbals from rubbing against each other, so buy a separate divider or use some other material. The largest compartment does actually have a divider in it that can accommodate three cymbals, but it only comes halfway up the bag, and is only useful in holding the cymbals in place and will not stop them rubbing against each other. This is not too much of a problem due to the other compartments - only worth a thought if you're carrying more than hi-hats, 2x crashes, and a ride. Finally, there are no external pockets or compartments to hold items such as gloves, ear plugs, cymbal dampers, etc.
These negatives do not change my review from being 5 stars, as for the price, it is an excellent choice, and does almost everything I would want from a cymbal bag.
The bags I use for my most expensive and handmade cymbals cost 4+ times as much, so this a fantastic choice if you're not cosseting really expensive cymbals.

very nice bag for the price
I really like multiple compartment feature, keeps cymbals centered so the bell of one cymbal is not pressing against the middle of another, different size, cymbal.
The material seems strong enough and sufficiently padded.
The handle is thick and comfortable, also the shoulder strap.
Great addition are the backpack-style straps.
The zipper might be of a better quality, on the biggest compartment the plastic teeth of the zipper disconnected from the fabric in the length of about 1,5 cm.
This is fault in the zipper itself, not the sawing problem.
Also, this happened on upper side of bag, so it is not likely that a cymbal edge cut it.
However, it still works, I just have to be more careful when moving zipper over that part.

Highly recommended
If you're looking for a fancy brand name, this is not the product for you.
If you're in for a quality and practical product - you found it.
The low price is just a bonus here.
The quality and look of the zippers, materials and stitching is pretty impeccable.
Size wise - it holds a 24"ride easily , although according to the description the max size is 22"".
A unique feature: separate zippered compartments. This makes handling so much easier, I can't believe no other company is stealing the idea.

It doesn't get any better!
Are you a drummer looking for a heavy-duty, yet portable bag to carry different-sized cymbals around?
Well, you should take a look at this: with its 4 separate cymbal fans with zip sized 14"/16"/18"/22" (and the last one divided again in compartments with 2 additional pockets), robust carrying handle, shoulder strap and backpacking system, this is all you will ever need for most of your gigs. You won't find anything like this in its price range, and many times in those above! Whether you are a professional or a beginner it doesn't matter: Thomann has done it again, and it doesn't get any better. Check it out!

Perfect cymbal bag
I could say that this cymbal bag is the best on the market for this price range!
It has a really stable design with lots of pockets for each cymbal. The variety of handles is also a big plus - the backpack straps are great when you have to carry other things with your hands.
I honestly do not think that there is any minus with this cymbal bag except that the cymbal pockets are not covered with a soft material, but once again, for this price range, the bag is more than perfect!
10/10 would recommend.

Always a go to.
I like the way the levelled interiors keep the smaller cymbals from hitting/resting on the ground, while the plastic attached underneath the main compartment absorbs the impact of the ground on the larger cymbals.
Been through a couple of these bags and have noticed that the straps are likely to break if the bag is overloaded for a long time, but really this is a great cymbal bag as the back straps make for easy moving.

Absolutely worth the money
I use this cymball bag to transport my full set of cymbals (20";18"; 16";2x 14") to my gigs and to practise studio. Bag is well built, and they have backpack straps and shoulder strap together with handle. It absolutely worth the money!

A very welcome surprise
I received this bag from Thomann for free since the one I received from a previous order together with a cymbal set was slightly damaged.
Apart a very big thank to Thomann and his exceptional customer care, I have to admit that this bag is really nice and feels very professional for his price range. It can accomodate easily my (fairly big) complete cymbals set including:
2x HI-Hats pair
1x 21" Ride
3x Crashes 17/18"
1x 18" China
3x splashes/mini china 8-12"
Everything fits nice and compact, and thanks to shoulder straps the carrying is just awsome!
PRO: well designed compartments, effective options for carriage though external material.
CONS: compartments have additional separators that look a bit thin but no big deal
