Gator GPC1405SD - Rotomolded hard case with padding for 14" x 5" box
The Gator GPC1405SD is a professional 14" x 5" hard case designed to withstand the rigors of live performance, transport, and storage without compromising the instrument's safety. Its high-strength , rotomolded shell offers superior protection against impacts and harsh weather, while the red micro-velvet padded interior hugs the snare, preventing scratches and shifting. The Grooves Series incorporates a secure stacking system thanks to channels that fit the pedestal feet of other cases in the range, allowing multiple drums to be moved stably on trolleys or carts. A 90° stop handle and a robust adjustment strap make handling and closing easy, and external size identification plates streamline organization for tours and rentals. A removable bag for spare drumheads is also included, so you always have a replacement on hand.
