Hi, i am wondering what size hard cases i would need for my kit as they all have the GTS mounts attached. Drums are 8,10,12,14 and 22. They all fit in the correct size drum softcase/bags, but should i add an inch on to each case size for hardcases? or do some allow for this, like the gator ones?

Hardcase's website says i need the next size for 8,10,12, but not 14?

So i would need 10,12,13, 14, 22 cases?

Hardcase cases have plenty of room in them so I'd go with the sizes for the drums. Due to their shape, there are 'corners' where the mount should sit just fine.

Trust me to be wrong.

Are the GTS mounts particularly chunky then? My old Artist Maple with ISO mounts fitted in the 'right' sized Hardcase.
