Protection Racket 18x18" Floor Tom Case RIMS

Protection Racket's 18×18" floor tom case (model 2018R–00) is engineered for drummers running suspension–mounted hardware. The RIMS designation indicates internal dimensions of 22" × 19", accommodating the drum shell plus mounting brackets without requiring the case to be excessively oversized. Protection Racket has built its reputation on hard cases that balance rigidity with reasonable portability–essential for gigging musicians who need their drums protected during transport but can't afford to haul aircraft–grade flight cases between venues.

The internal space accounts for all suspension hardware: drummers simply remove the three legs from their floor tom and the case accepts the drum with its RIMS mounts intact. The 22" × 19" internal cavity provides clearance for mounting brackets, isolation systems, and tension rods without crushing or binding. This RIMS–specific sizing exists across Protection Racket's range–compare the standard 18" × 18" case (21" × 19" internal) to the RIMS version to see the practical difference accommodation makes. The case construction withstands the road; internal dimensions are significantly larger than shell diameter to buffer hardware fixtures and road impacts.

Drummers with RIMS–equipped kits benefit from Protection Racket's modular ecosystem. A matching hardware case from their accessories range stores the three legs separately, keeping the kit organised and each component protected during transit. This approach suits touring drummers, session players switching studios, and bedroom producers who gig occasionally but demand professional–grade protection without warehouse footprint.
