The Korena take

A padded soft case for an 18x16 floor tom. For drummers who load their own gear and want protection without hard-case bulk.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Gigging drummers loading in and out of vehicles regularly
  • Protecting a floor tom in storage between shows
  • Anyone who wants padding but not hard-case weight

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Air travel or freight shipping — soft cases won't survive that
  • Drummers needing a locking, stackable hard shell
  • Any floor tom that isn't 18 inches by 16 inches

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

18 x 16 in. sizing

18 inch diameter, 16 inch depth. Case sizing is snug — an oversized or undersized drum won't fit right.

Detail 02

Soft padded shell

Absorbs knocks and protects hardware and finish. It will not resist crushing under stacked weight.

Detail 03

Black exterior

Hides scuffs and road dirt better than lighter colors over a season of gigs.

Detail 04

Case, not a bag

Built with structured padding rather than a thin nylon sleeve, so hoops and lugs stay protected.

Detail 05

Single-drum case

Covers the floor tom only. A full kit needs separate cases for each drum, hardware, and cymbals.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your drum's depth including hoops before ordering — legs add bulk too.
  2. 02Floor tom legs usually come off or fold; plan for that.
  3. 03Covers one drum only. Budget for the rest of the kit.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will my 18x16 floor tom fit with the legs on?

Plan on removing or retracting the legs. Cases are cut to the drum's shell and hoop dimensions, not the leg spread.

02Is this okay for flying?

No. Checked baggage and freight need a hard case. This is built for van and car loads.

03Does it fit a 16x16 floor tom?

No. This is cut for an 18 inch diameter. A 16 inch drum would shift around inside.

04Does it include a strap?

Carry hardware varies — check the product images. Either way, an 18 inch floor tom is a two-hand carry for most people.
