Built to accommodate 18\" × 16\" shells with internal dimensions of 21\" × 17\", this case accommodates hardware fixtures without requiring shell removal. The design philosophy centres on absorbing road wear whilst maintaining minimal weight penalty–critical for touring kits that spend as much time in vans as on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe case utilises rigid construction throughout, safeguarding bearing edges and finishes from the inevitable impacts of transport between venues. Internal space allows for suspension hardware to remain mounted, streamlining pack-down routines. Those running RIMS-style suspension systems should specify model 2017R-00 instead, which expands internal dimensions to 22\" × 17\" to clear the increased footprint. The standard 2017-00 sits within Protection Racket's comprehensive floor tom range, which spans from 13\" × 13\" through to 18\" × 18\" configurations, each sized to match common tom specifications without excess interior void.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternal dimensions 21\" × 17\" accommodate 18\" × 16\" shells plus hardware\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRigid construction protects bearing edges and lacquer finishes during transport\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuspension hardware remains mounted; three legs removed for case entry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRIMS-compatible variant (2017R-00) available with 22\" × 17\" internal space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart of comprehensive range spanning 13\" to 18\" floor tom sizes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigned for touring drummers prioritising protection over weight\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStandard specifications suit legacy lugs and bearing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplements Protection Racket's hardware and cymbal case ecosystem\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"manufacturer-site\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, please visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.protectionracket.com\/products\/drum-cases\/item\/floor-tom-cases\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emanufacturer's website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Protection Racket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41580252921914,"sku":"2017-00","price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/Protection_Racket_18__x_16__Floor_Tom_Case_2017-00_1785986704-01.jpg?v=1785986712","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/products\/protection-racket-18-x-16-floor-tom-case-2017-00","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
