Protection Racket 18x16" Floor Tom Case RIMS

Protection Racket's 18x16” floor tom case in RIMS configuration accommodates drums fitted with suspension mounting systems rather than traditional legs. RIMS–equipped floor toms require case solutions that account for the hardware footprint without the leg assemblies; this model (catalogue no. 2017R–00) provides exactly that spec. Protection Racket's rigid case construction and attention to internal dimensioning have established the brand as a trusted choice for drummers moving serious gear between venues.

The case's internal dimensions of 22” × 17” provide clearance for an 18” × 16” shell and its mounted hardware fixtures. The external profile is engineered to accommodate RIMS suspension systems during packing, allowing the drum to remain mounted while inside the case–a critical distinction from standard floor tom cases where legs must be removed entirely. Rigid construction protects against puncture, crush, and the cumulative wear of touring, whilst the case architecture ensures efficient packing into truck beds, van compartments, and flight cases.

Touring musicians and session players working with RIMS–suspended toms benefit from the ability to pack and unload without repeated hardware assembly and disassembly. This streamlines load–in and load–out cycles, reduces setup time between gigs, and minimises wear on tom lugs and RIMS clamps. The case sits within Protection Racket's broader floor tom range, which includes standard leg–mount versions (such as the 2017–00 model with 21” × 17” internal space) and complementary hardware cases for cymbal stands, boom arms, and pedals.
