AHEAD 16" depth X 14" diameter Floor Tom Soft Case
AHEAD Armor 14" x 16" Floor Tom Drum Case
The AHEAD Armor 14" x 16" Floor Tom Drum Case offers padded protection for a 14" diameter floor tom with a 16" shell depth. A weather-resistant exterior, soft fleece lining, and accessible zipper opening help simplify transport while protecting your instrument. Available at West Coast Drum Shop in Bellevue, WA, this floor tom bag combines practical construction with a shape that accommodates the drum's attached hardware.
Product Description
AHEAD Armor Cases are designed around the complete instrument, including the hardware that extends beyond the shell. The patented TruForm teardrop profile provides room for those components while following the drum's overall shape. For a floor tom, this means accounting for the shell, hoops, lugs, and attached mounting brackets rather than relying on a basic cylindrical bag.
The DynaZip zipper system improves access through a cutaway opening. Its zipper travels around the case and down both sides of the cutout, allowing a larger portion of the bag to open for loading. That extra access helps you guide the floor tom into position and remove it at setup time without working through a restricted opening.
Inside, DX-Core foam padding cushions the instrument against everyday bumps during carrying and handling. A Sherpa fleece lining provides a soft contact surface around the drum, helping protect its finish and hardware from rubbing against the outer fabric. The combination gives the bag both impact cushioning and a gentle interior surface.
The outer layer uses weather-resistant 600-denier polyester, providing durable fabric protection for regular trips between home, rehearsal spaces, and performance venues. This soft case construction makes it a practical option for individually packing your floor tom alongside the other drums in your kit.

Fit & Compatibility
This model fits a 14" diameter x 16" deep floor tom. Both measurements matter when choosing a drum bag: a 14" x 14" floor tom and a 14" x 16" floor tom share a head diameter but have different shell depths. Check your drum's dimensions before ordering, using the shell itself for the depth measurement rather than including the hoops.
Remove detachable floor tom legs before packing, and check the clearance around the brackets that remain attached to the shell. The hardware-conscious TruForm profile helps accommodate these protrusions, but bracket dimensions vary between drum manufacturers and mounting systems.
Matching the bag to your actual drum dimensions helps avoid an unnecessarily loose fit or a case that is too shallow. If you are replacing one bag in an existing set, verify the floor tom separately rather than assuming its size from the rest of the kit.
