Gator GPC2216BD Grooves Roto-Molded Bass Drum Case with Padding (22 x 16")

Built for Full-Size 22 x 16" Bass Drums
Designed to transport and protect your 22 x 16" bass drum, the Gator GPC2216BD Grooves Roto-Molded Bass Drum Case is a rugged solution for drummers who rely on their gear staying intact between gigs or during storage. The case’s precise internal dimensions support a bass drum with standard mounting hardware, ensuring a snug fit that reduces movement and damage during transit. Whether loading into a van, flying to a tour stop, or storing gear in the studio, this case has your back.

Roto-Molded Construction Delivers Lasting Durability
Engineered with a tough roto-molded polyethylene shell, this drum case is built to endure the punishment of travel. Roto-molding ensures uniform thickness throughout the case, adding impact resistance and structural integrity. Ideal for professional drummers, techs, and production crews, the GPC2216BD keeps your 22-inch bass drum safe from dings, drops, and rough handling.

Padded Interior With Micro-Velvet Lining for Maximum Protection
The case interior features a thick layer of padding lined with a soft micro-velvet material to prevent scratches, dents, and finish damage. The lining is double-stitched through both interior and exterior walls, reducing the risk of wear and tear over time. Whether you're storing vintage gear or gigging with your daily driver, this design preserves your drum’s condition from rehearsal room to stage.

Lock-Down Security With Reinforced Straps and Buckles
Your bass drum stays locked in place thanks to three reinforced 2-inch straps and high-tension locking buckles. These heavy-duty straps keep the case sealed tightly and drum movement to a minimum. Dual side carry handles allow for comfortable lifting and handling by one or two people, whether you're carrying short distances or loading gear onto a truck or dolly.

Stackable Design That Simplifies Drum Storage and Transport
With interlocking channel grooves molded into the shell, Gator’s Grooves series allows for stable, organized stacking when storing or transporting multiple cases. The rear-aligned base helps the stacked cases hug the wall and balance securely when moved using a hand truck or dolly—critical for tight stage wings, backline transport, or studio storage rooms.
