Gator GP-ICON-1816BD ICON Bass Drum Bag (18" x 16")

Reliable Soft-Shell Protection for 18x16 Bass Drums
The Gator GP-ICON-1816BD ICON Bass Drum Bag offers robust protection for your 18-inch by 16-inch bass drum while maintaining the portability and flexibility of a soft case. Whether you’re transporting gear to a studio session, weekly rehearsals, or a cross-country gig, this drum bag is designed to keep your bass drum safe from impacts, scratches, and weather-related damage. With practical features and durable construction, it's made for drummers who expect their gear to survive the road.

Quick-Access Zipper Design Simplifies Packing
Instead of wrestling with your drum, the ICON bag’s sloped zipper system allows for smooth, stress-free loading and unloading. The angled opening creates more clearance at the entry point, making it easy to slide your 18x16 bass drum into place without fighting the fabric or compromising the padding. For fast-paced load-ins and tear-downs, this feature is a real time-saver.

Reinforced Padding Preserves Drum Shell Integrity
Protection is only as good as the padding, and Gator doesn’t cut corners here. The ICON series is known for its ultra-thick, form-retaining foam that cushions the drum from impact while helping the bag keep its shape. Inside, a soft micro-velvet lining wraps your drum in a finish-safe material that minimizes friction and guards against scuffs.

Rugged 1000D Nylon Exterior Handles the Elements
A protective shell is only effective if it can withstand the environment, and this bag’s weather-resistant 1000D nylon exterior does exactly that. Rain, dust, and spills are no match for this high-denier fabric. Built for repeated transport and rough venues, it keeps your drum protected through a variety of real-world conditions.

Convenient Side Handles Designed for Comfortable Carrying
Moving heavy drums doesn’t need to be awkward. The GP-ICON-1816BD includes dual padded side handles that offer a secure, ergonomic grip. Whether you’re moving your drum across a venue or lifting it out of a vehicle, the balanced handle placement reduces fatigue and increases control during transport.

Professional Build Quality for Working Musicians
This isn’t a casual gig bag—it’s a performance-ready protective solution designed for working musicians. From the reinforced stitching to the structured build and internal lining, every detail is meant to provide security and ease of use. It fits most 18x16 bass drums, even with mounting hardware attached, so you don’t need to dismantle your setup just to get it in the bag.

Streamlines Transport Without Sacrificing Protection
For drummers who want reliable protection without lugging around a heavy hard-shell case, this ICON bass drum bag strikes the ideal balance. It’s durable enough to handle the road but flexible enough to make storage and transport simple. The combination of thick padding, premium materials, and smart design makes it a go-to choice for professional drummers.
