The Korena take

Padded bag for a 13x5.5 snare. For drummers who bring their own snare to gigs, rehearsals or backline shows.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Carrying a personal snare to shows with house backline
  • Rehearsal transport by hand, bike or public transit
  • Protecting the shell and hoops between weekly sessions

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Checked baggage or shipping, where hoops need rigid protection
  • Drummers with a 14-inch snare, the standard size
  • Anyone wanting room for sticks, keys and accessories

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.

Gator Padded Snare Drum Bag 13 x 5.5 in. construction detail

Detail 01

13 x 5.5 sizing

Fits a 13-inch diameter snare at 5.5-inch depth. Most snares are 14 inches, so check yours first.

Detail 02

Padded construction

Protects hoops and lugs from dings during carry. Bent hoops throw off tuning, so this is the real payoff.

Detail 03

Soft bag, not a case

Light enough to sling over a shoulder and folds flat in storage. No rigid shell protection.

Detail 04

5.5-inch depth

Standard depth cut. A 6.5-inch piccolo-to-deep snare will not fit; a shallower one rattles around.

Detail 05

Black finish

Hides scuffs from years of load-ins better than lighter fabric.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Snare only. Stand, sticks and throw-off hardware travel separately.
  2. 02Measure your shell diameter first. 13-inch snares are less common than 14.
  3. 03Loosen nothing, but keep the snare wires clear when zipping to avoid snagging.

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will my 14x5.5 snare fit?

No. This is cut for a 13-inch diameter. A 14-inch snare needs the corresponding larger bag.

02Does it hold a snare stand too?

No. It fits the drum alone. Stands need a separate hardware bag.

03Will a 13x7 snare fit?

No. The depth is cut at 5.5 inches. A 7-inch deep snare will not close.

04Is it enough for flying with a snare?

For air travel, use a hard case. Padded bags are built for car, van and hand-carry transport.
