Hardcase HN14FFS - 14" free floating case

Hardcase HN14FFS - 14" Free Floating Snare Drum Case (inner diameter 47.5 cm, fit 5–7")

The Hardcase HN14FFS is the specific hard case for 14" snare drums with Free Floating system (e.g. Pearl Free Floating), designed with an enlarged interior diameter to accommodate wider shells and hardware without forcing. The waterproof , one-piece molded shell combines high-tenacity straps with a telescopic lid to adjust the height of the whole thing. Inside, it integrates foam pads that immobilize and cushion the case; there is also a Fully Lined version with integral foam lining . The stacking system (stacking feature) and the “soft grip” handle facilitate logistics for tours, rentals and schools.
