Gator GPC1209 Grooves Roto-Molded Tom Case with Padding (12 x 9")

Purpose-Built Protection for 12x9 Tom Drums
The Gator GPC1209 is a rugged, molded case engineered to hold and protect your 12" x 9" tom drum. Whether you're headed to rehearsal, packing for a tour, or storing your gear between shows, this case offers peace of mind with a durable exterior and padded interior. Designed to keep your drum safe from dents, scratches, and environmental wear, it's a smart choice for drummers who depend on their equipment to arrive in top condition.

Impact-Resistant Shell Built to Handle the Road
Crafted from roto-molded polyethylene, the outer shell is built to take hits without cracking or deforming. This construction process delivers consistent wall thickness and resilience across the case, making it capable of withstanding the constant loading, unloading, and jostling that comes with live performances and travel. It’s tough enough for touring professionals, yet practical for any player who values reliable protection.

Soft Padded Interior Prevents Drum Finish Damage
Inside the case, your tom rests securely on a micro-velvet padded lining that prevents scuffs and absorbs shocks. The lining is double-stitched through both the interior and exterior shell, locking it in place to resist wear and prevent fabric separation over time. This internal structure helps maintain your drum’s finish while supporting any mounted hardware within the case’s fitted space.

Stackable Design for Efficient Gear Transport
Like all Gator Grooves series cases, the GPC1209 features molded channels that interlock with pedestal-style feet for secure stacking. The rear-aligned stacking design means the cases line up neatly along walls or dolly edges, providing improved stability when you’re loading in or out. This design also saves floor space in storage or backstage setups, where every inch counts.

Secure Carry Handle and Closure Strap for Transport
A spring-loaded handle locks in place at a 90-degree angle, offering a firm grip when carrying and staying flush when stowed. A heavy-duty 2-inch adjustable strap wraps around the case with a high-tension buckle to keep the lid closed and your drum secured, even during rough handling or long hauls between venues.

Quick Identification with Exterior Sizing Badge
Each Gator Grooves case includes an exterior size marker so you can identify the correct drum quickly, which is especially helpful for drummers managing large kits or stage techs prepping gear during fast transitions. With everything clearly labeled, you'll spend less time sorting and more time focused on your performance.
