Gator GPC1309 Grooves Roto-Molded Tom Case with Padding (13 x 9")

Reliable Case for Protecting 13x9 Tom Drums
The Gator GPC1309 is a heavy-duty tom drum case designed to hold and protect 13" x 9" toms during travel, storage, or transport. This model is built for drummers who require dependable, impact-resistant protection for their gear. It combines a rugged outer shell with a cushioned interior to ensure that your drum arrives intact, whether you're headed to rehearsal or crossing state lines for a gig.

Tough Roto-Molded Construction Built to Last
Made from roto-molded polyethylene, the GPC1309's shell provides consistent thickness and superior resistance to cracking and impact. This durable construction method ensures that the case can withstand frequent handling, bumps, and drops without breaking or weakening over time. It's ideal for touring musicians and any drummer transporting valuable gear.

Soft Micro-Velvet Padding Protects Drum Finish
Inside the case, your tom drum is cradled in a plush micro-velvet lining that cushions the shell and resists abrasions. The interior lining is double-stitched through the exterior and interior of the case, which prevents separation and ensures long-term durability. This design helps protect the drum’s finish, lugs, and mounted hardware with a snug and secure fit.

Secure Stacking Design Makes Storage Easy
With interlocking design channels and pedestal-style feet, this case stacks securely with other Gator Grooves series cases. The rear-aligned stacking system hugs walls and hand trucks tightly, making it easier to manage multiple cases in storage or during load-in. This also minimizes tipping when your cases are moved together.

Built-In Strap System and Exterior ID
A heavy-duty adjustable strap wraps around the body of the case and locks in place with a high-tension buckle. This strap system keeps your tom locked in place and your lid sealed tightly during transit. An exterior sizing badge helps you quickly identify the case contents—especially useful for setups with multiple drums of similar size.

Comfortable to Carry with Reinforced Handle
The GPC1309 is outfitted with a spring-loaded carry handle that locks at 90 degrees, offering a comfortable grip and secure handling. When not in use, the handle folds flat against the case, preventing snagging or unnecessary bulk during stacking or packing. Whether you’re loading gear by hand or with a crew, it’s ready to go.
