Hardcase HNL12TPU - Fully Lined 12" Tom Case (Purple)

The Hardcase HNL12TPU is a professional 12" tom case with full foam lining , designed to offer continuous protection throughout the interior. Manufactured in the UK from high impact, water-resistant polyethylene , it combines a telescopic lid , quick-release straps with clips and a Comfort Grip handle for reliable and comfortable transport. The ribbed shell is stackable and the ID disc/plaque makes it easy to identify your backline. The purple finish ( PU colour code) adds visibility for easy location in a van, warehouse or backstage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 12x13 (13" deep) fit?
The 12" Fully Lined version is specified for 8"–12" . If you need more depth, consider the HN12T model (supports up to ~34.3 cm) or consider a size up depending on your build.

What if my tom has a suspension system (RIMS, Optimount, Star-Cast...)?
For 8" to 13" toms with suspension mounts, Hardcase recommends considering the next size up to ensure clearance around the hardware.

Is it watertight?
The housing is waterproof against rain and splashes, but it is not a watertight container for immersion.
