Protection Racket 16x13" Egg Shape Fast Tom Case
Protection Racket's 16” × 13” egg–shaped fast tom case represents a purposeful approach to drum transport. The egg profile isn't aesthetic flourish; it's engineered to maximise packing efficiency whilst delivering a tailored fit for toms fitted with or without suspension mounts. Fast tom geometry accommodates deeper shells in a more compact footprint than standard designs, reducing case stack footprint in vans and flight cases–essential for touring drummers juggling multiple toms.
Internal dimensions of 19” × 18” × 14” accommodate the 16” × 13” shell plus mounting hardware without excessive dead space. The updated labelling system features enlarged, high–contrast printing specifying drum type and size directly on the silicone panel, streamlining identification during setup and load–out. This addresses a genuine pain point: misidentification of similar–sized toms under stage lighting or in low–visibility loading conditions, which costs time and introduces handling risk.
The case's strength lies in standardised compatibility across the full 16–size range (8” through 16”). Catalogue number 6016–10 distinguishes this variant as a fast tom profile, critical for drummers moving between kit configurations. The egg geometry also reduces rolling and shifting during transit, protecting bearing edges and lugs from sustained vibration damage that round or rectangular cases permit.
