PROTECTION RACKET CASES! 🥁 Honored to join the @protectionracket Endorsement Roster! Best Drum Cases in the Biz! #AroundtheWorldwithU #protectionracketcases #protectionracket

I’ve been through the ringer a bit lately so what better way to boost the mood (and ego) than with some news… I’m beyond proud to announce I’m officially a @protectionracket artist! They’re the best cases out there and they’ve been protecting my tubs for over 15 years, not to mention the joint the list of monster players on their books - I’m not worthy! 🤯 I dunno what @protectionracketdeano was thinking but I’ll take it - thanks so much mate 💙 First show as an endorsed artist tonight with @pinkfloydtributeshow - let’s go! #ProtectionRacketCases #protectionracketartist #protectionracketfamily @mapexuk @zildjiangbi @vicfirthuk @cympad @shure @tamauk @remopercussion @porter_and_davies

Big news from us here at Protection Racket HQ 🌏🇦🇺 ☀️🏄‍♂️🥁 We’re stoked to welcome our new distributor in Australia to the Protection Racket family of Global Distributors. It’s a proud moment for us to partner with @daddarioandco Australia and a team that shares our passion for quality, detail, and doing things properly. This marks an exciting step forward for Protection Racket as we continue to grow internationally, and we’re proud to be working with a team that shares our commitment to quality, attention to detail, and excellent service.

Here's the latest member of Team Protection Racket doing his best 'PR Man' impression at the @theo2london 😎 all it would take is a buzz cut for absolute doppleganger perfection!! A sterling effort @benmiddletondrums 💪🏻 Welcome to the family mate! Great to have you on board 🥁 Here's all about Ben: Ben is a UK‑based session drummer and percussionist in high demand for his musicality, precision, deep pocket, and instinctive feel for what a song needs. He has toured and recorded across the UK and beyond, working with artists from around the world including Hannah Aldridge (US), Fanny Lumsden (AUS), Lachlan Bryan (AUS), Alan Fletcher (AUS), the Brewster Brothers (The Angels, AUS) and Judy Dyble (Fairport Convention, UK). Ben is also a familiar face on the festival circuit, with multiple appearances at Glastonbury, as well as Country 2 Country, Manchester Folk Festival, Latitude, Costa Festival, Fjord Blues, the UK West Coast Folk Festival and Towersey Festival. Drawing on a background that spans brass and marching band music through to rock, pop, country, funk and folk, Ben’s playing is versatile, expressive and unmistakably his own. In the studio, he combines creative flair with rock‑steady consistency—equally at home improvising parts or delivering tight, click‑driven performances. His percussion work, featuring instruments such as djembe, bongos and cajón, adds colour, texture and character to every session. Ben uses Ludwig drums, Istanbul Mehmet cymbals, ACS Custom IEMs, and always travels with Protection Racket AAA cases. Look forward to meting you as soon as possible Ben ☀️ #protectionracket #protectionracketcases #protectionracketdrumcases #protectionracketartist #protectionracketfamily #drums #drummer #drummersofinstagram

I’m absolutely hyped to announce that I am now a @protectionracket artist! 🤩 These cases have been a staple in my drumming journey since day one, and they’re simply the best out there. I’ve never had one break, and I’ve dragged my kits to some mental places. Huge thanks to @protectionracketdeano for welcoming me into the fold 🙏🏼 Now my drums will remain unmarked, forever!

The perfect Drummer? Uses Protection Racket ✅ Plays @yamahadrumsofficial ✅ Cornish ✅ Of course, there's no such thing as perfection but @zenabeatz is close enough for Jazz 😝 A stalwart of the Brass Band & live music scene for over 40 years here in Kernow, having played every pub and wedding venue known to man & woman, we are delighted to make it official and welcome Zena Walker to the Protection Racket family this month. Alongside her constant gigging, Zena runs Zenabeatz out of Newquay and has taught Drums, Percussion and Samba in our schools for 26 years. From Zena: Having used PR cases for many years now It is an honour to work closer with them and keep my new Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Uzu Charcoal Sunburst kit safe on these country roads. See you at a gig very soon Zena, and welcome to the Team 😎 #protectionracket #protectionracketcases #protectionracketartist #protectionracketfamily #femaledrummer #drums #drummer
