In getting my old Gretsch set gig-ready, I have all I need for the transport and protection of the shells but I'm still wondering how I might deal with cymbals and stands, including a Roc-n-Soc throne.
In the past, I've always used a trap case to protect cymbals and transport stands (even when utilizing a rack set-up).

I can still do that, but I need to go buy a new one..............before I commit to that, are there other options out there that are the better choice ?

Cymbal vaults ?
Stand/hardware bags ?
What ?
