Gator GPC1816 Grooves Roto-Molded Floor Tom Case with Padding (18 x 16")

Built for the Road-Ready Drummer
Designed to securely house an 18 x 16" floor tom with mounting hardware, the Gator GPC1816 Gator Grooves Roto-Molded Floor Tom Case delivers rugged protection for drummers who travel frequently or need reliable storage. This case offers a snug, secure fit around your floor tom, guarding it against impacts, temperature changes, and the rigors of transit, whether you're loading gear into a trailer, van, or venue.

Durable Roto-Molded Construction for Maximum Strength
The case is crafted from heavy-duty roto-molded polyethylene, making it exceptionally impact-resistant while maintaining a lightweight profile. This construction technique ensures long-term durability, especially in environments where traditional cases might crack or wear down over time. Whether it’s rolling around in the back of a tour van or stacked in a storage room, the shell stands up to abuse.

Plush Padded Interior Protects Finish and Hardware
Inside the GPC1816 is a plush red micro-velvet lining that cradles your floor tom and protects its finish. The thick padding provides shock absorption, preventing scuffs and damage during transport. The lining is double-stitched through both the inner and outer walls of the case to prevent fraying and separation over time—a detail professional drummers will appreciate when using this case for years on the road.

Stability When Stacked and Stored
The rear-aligned stacking design makes this case ideal for storing multiple drums. It hugs walls and carts securely, offering reliable balance when moved on dollies or hand trucks. Its exclusive Gator Grooves interlocking channel design mates with pedestal feet, letting you stack cases with confidence without shifting during transit or load-in.

Secure Closure with Heavy-Duty Straps and Handle
Three heavy-duty 2” straps wrap around the case to secure the lid in place, each featuring high-tension locking buckles that won’t loosen unintentionally. Combined with a spring-loaded handle that locks at 90 degrees, this case is easy to carry and maneuver, even with gloves or while navigating tight spaces backstage.

Engineered for Touring, Gigging, and Studio Use
This case is designed for any drummer who needs to move gear frequently, protect expensive drums, and rely on a case that won’t fail. Whether you're a touring professional, a studio session player, or a weekend warrior, the GPC1816 offers peace of mind that your gear is safe no matter where it goes.
