When to choose it

The Protege is useful when you want to bring several stick options to a rehearsal and keep them within reach at the kit. Vic Firth rates the bag for up to eight pairs of drumsticks and supplies adjustable floor-tom straps. Use the separate accessory pocket for items such as a drum key so you can reach the right implement quickly.

Compare the eight-pair Protege with the 12-pair Performer if you regularly carry a large stick rotation. Treat both ratings as capacities for drumsticks. Measure longer mallets separately and leave room for thicker bundles if you carry rods and brushes together.
