Professional Timpani

Adams Professional series Timpani offer an unbelievably affordable price for an instrument of this quality. They feature both a wide range of bowl configurations, plus a perfect combination of exclusive features unmatched by the competition. With such an outstanding array of options, sizes, and configurations available, there is a set of Adams Professional series timpani to perfectly fit your budget and performance needs. Simply put, Adams Professional series Timpani represent the finest instruments available in this price range.

Our Professional series Timpani line offers one Cambered bowl type in Hammered Copper, plus parabolic shaped bowls in three different bowl types, Hammered Copper, Smooth Copper and Fiberglass. Like all of our copper Timpani, including our Top of the line Philharmonic Light, all of our Professional series Hammered Copper and Smooth Copper bowls are seamlessly formed from a single piece of the finest Copper. Our hammering process is designed to increase the frequency range of the drum and to produce a clear, pure tone. All four Professional series Timpani bowl types are suspended by an extremely strong, contoured steel ring. The steel ring is used to maintain bowl roundness and offer the best protection during transport.

The Professional series pedal mechanism is a balanced action system, designed to balance the head tension against the spring mechanism located in the base of the timpani. The spring mechanism is easily adjusted using an easily accessible tension knob located on the base of the timpani. The result is a pedal with the smoothest action available. The entire tension mechanism is located outside the kettle, allowing maximum unobstructed tone quality. Adams has taken the balanced action design to the next level, eliminating a number of the original design flaws that are so common with systems designed by other manufactures. All Professional series Timpani provide two wheels at the rear, each custom designed with a braking mechanism that prevents the wheel from not only turning but also from rotating. Adams Professional series Timpani are offered in five bowl diameters, 20”-23”-26”-29” and 32”.
