Gator HGAGP-ICON-1816 - Premium 18" x 16" tom case with 1000D nylon exterior and micro-velvet lining
The Gator HGAGP-ICON-1816 belongs to Gator's acclaimed ICON series and is specifically designed to protect an 18" x 16" floor tom (approximately 45.7 cm in diameter x 40.6 cm deep). Its multi-layered construction combines a durable 1000D nylon exterior —capable of withstanding light rain, wear, tear, and abrasion—with a red micro-velvet interior and extra-thick padding that maintains the bag's shape and cushions impacts during transport. The angled zipper closure makes loading and unloading the tom easy, while the reinforced, rubber-coated base protects against rough surfaces. It features an ergonomic padded handle and heavy-duty YKK zippers for rugged use. If you're looking for a lightweight case with hardcase-level protection, this 18" x 16" tom bag offers a reliable and durable solution for touring, studios, schools, and rentals.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will an 18" x 16" tom fit with mounts/stands installed? The case is designed to accommodate an 18" x 16" shell with its standard mounting hardware. If floor tom legs are attached, they should be folded or removed to facilitate insertion and avoid unnecessary pressure.

-
Are the zippers high quality? Yes, they use heavy-duty YKK zippers, suitable for intensive use.
-
Does it deform over time? The construction and padding are designed to maintain its shape and make it easier to put on the tom.
-
Can I stack other covers on top? They can be stacked judiciously during transport; avoid excessive or prolonged point loads.
-
How to clean it? Exterior: soft cloth slightly dampened with neutral soap; interior: gentle vacuuming. Always air dry in the shade.
