Timpani specifications
By tradition the kettle is formed by deep drawing a single sheet of red copper in our own factory. Contrary to other moulding methods, deep drawing has the great advantage of maintaining the same thickness throughout the kettle which is extremely important for a good sound. Since we have moved to the new factory. We invest a lot of time in research and development of the bowls. We test different materials and different thicknesses. By improvement we can implement this directly in our production. Adams supplies four different models of bowls.
Available range for Revolution Timpani
Available range for Universal, Professional and Symphonic Timpani
Available range for Philharmonic Timpani
Copper Cambered Hammered
This type of kettle is our top-of-the-range model. The quality of the tone is really focussed. The tone is very warm. This type of kettle is used in the Professional series, Symphonic series and Philharmonic series timpani.
Copper Hammered
This type of kettle has the best price-quality ratio. Compared to the Polished Copper you pay a little more, but you get a tone that is more focussed and direct.
Copper Polished
Because of the only small difference in weight compared to fibre this kettle is often used in the universal timpani. In the end, copper gives a richer and more vivid tone than fibre.
Fibre
The main characteristics of fibre are a lower weight and the sound. It is a synthetic kettle that has a good sound. This kettle is mainly used in the universal timpani. The combi-nation of a light kettle and the construction of the timpani, make these timpani a very interesting model.
