Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A case cut for an 18x16 floor tom. For drummers who move a kit regularly and want each drum protected on its own.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Gigging kits where the floor tom travels every weekend
  • Storing a floor tom between rehearsals, off the floor
  • Building a per-drum case set piece by piece

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Any tom that isn't 18x16 — fit is size specific
  • Drummers wanting one bag to hold several toms
  • Cymbals, snare or hardware, which need their own cases

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.

Diameter first, depth second. That's a floor tom size, not a rack tom. Match both numbers, not just the 18.

Detail 02

One drum per case

A five-piece kit means four or five cases plus hardware. Plan the whole set, not one purchase.

Detail 03

Floor tom legs

Legs and brackets add width past the 18-inch shell. Pull the legs and pack them with the hardware.

Detail 04

$119.99

Priced per drum, so casing a full kit is a several-hundred-dollar decision rather than a hundred-dollar one.

Detail 05

Black

Hides handling marks and stays neutral in a stack of cases on a cart.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure over the hoops, not the shell — hoops add width
  2. 02Remove the legs before packing; brackets can stay on
  3. 03This covers one drum, so the rest of the kit needs its own

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit a 16x16 floor tom?

No. It's cut for 18x16. A 16-inch drum shifts inside, and movement against the walls is exactly what bends hoops and cracks finishes.

02Do I have to take the legs off?

Usually yes. The leg brackets stay mounted on the shell; the legs pull out and travel in a hardware bag.

03Is 18x16 diameter by depth?

Yes. Eighteen inches across the head, sixteen deep. That's a floor tom. An 18-inch rack tom is a different, rarer size.

04Can I stack these in a van?

Cases stack better than bare drums. Put lighter drums on top and load so weight sits on the case body, not on a hoop.
