Gator - 22-Inch Elite Air Series Molded Polyethylene Cymbal Case with Integrated Wheels and Pull Handle

Gator Cases presents the GP-PE302, a professional-grade cymbal case from the Elite Air Series designed to accommodate cymbals up to 22 inches in diameter. This case is constructed from high-density molded polyethylene, providing a rigid hard-shell exterior that protects against impacts and vibrations during transit. The internal architecture uses a specialized strapless wing nut system that anchors cymbals firmly to a central post, preventing shifting, clashing, or edge damage without the need for nylon straps. For enhanced mobility, the case is equipped with integrated recessed wheels and a pull-behind handle that extends for ergonomic transport and folds away flush against the shell for compact storage. Additional molded-in carrying handles provide a secure grip for lifting and loading, while the slim 4-inch exterior height ensures the case fits easily into tight vehicle spaces or equipment trailers. This heavy-duty storage solution is engineered to meet the demands of touring drummers, offering a balance of structural strength and ease of movement for local rehearsals or professional stage environments.

• Precision Storage for Cymbals Up to 22 Inches: The Elite Air Series case is engineered to accommodate a wide range of percussion brass and fit cymbals up to 22 inches in diameter. Its interior provides a specialized fit for standard rides, crashes, and hi-hats, ensuring your primary kit components are housed in a dedicated environment. This tailored sizing is essential for maintaining organized inventory and protecting the delicate edges of your instruments during transit.
• Heavy-Duty Molded Polyethylene Construction: This case is constructed from high-density molded polyethylene, providing a rigid and durable outer shell that outlasts standard soft-sided bags. The high-impact plastic is designed to absorb the shocks and vibrations encountered during frequent loading and unloading in professional environments. This robust build serves as a dependable shield against the physical rigors of local gigging and long-distance touring.
• Secure Strapless Wing Nut Mounting System: The internal architecture features a center-post wing-nut system designed to anchor cymbals firmly in place without nylon straps. By securing the instruments at the bell, this system prevents cymbals from shifting or clashing, which can lead to keyholing or edge cracks. This mechanical security ensures that your equipment remains in its designated position regardless of the case’s orientation.
• Integrated Wheels and Fold-Away Pull Handle: To simplify transport, this case features heavy-duty recessed wheels and a dedicated pull handle. The handle extends to provide comfortable leverage while rolling, reducing physical strain, and folds away flush against the frame for a snag-free profile during storage. This mobility system is ideal for navigating crowded venues, parking lots, and backstage ramps without heavy lifting.
• Space-Saving Slim Profile and Rugged Handles: With an exterior height of only 4 inches, this case maintains a streamlined footprint that maximizes storage efficiency in tight vehicle spaces. The exterior features integrated handles molded directly into the shell for maximum structural integrity and a secure grip. This design is perfect for drummers who need professional-grade hard-shell protection but must operate within the constraints of limited cargo or equipment trailers.
