Adams Professional Gen II Timpani

Balanced Action Spring Mechanism
This system guarantees smooth and easy pitch changes throughout the entire range. The pedal's spring and rim tension are balanced so that the set pitch is maintained even when the player removes his or her foot from the pedal. To reduce problems that similar systems on the market have, Adams engineers developed a patented technique that produces a much more stable system. Zelfs wanneer er na verloop van tijd een onvermijdelijke onbalans ontstaat tussen veer- en velgspanning. Het gepatenteerde systeem is zo stabiel en krachtig dat zelfs het gebruik van kalfshuiden mogelijk wordt in combinatie met een Balanced Action veermechanisme.

Bowl Design & Construction

Our kettles are pressed in-house using a unique Adams press and a specialized forming process. Kettles produced in this way are distinguished by an unmatched consistency in shape and wall thickness.

The Professional GEN II kettle hangs freely in a chrome-plated steel ring with a single flange and is supported by reinforced struts. This construction provides maximum stability while allowing the kettle to resonate freely for optimal tone and projection. Scroll down for more information about the different kettle options.

Polished and hammered to perfection
Adams developed an advanced hammering and polishing machine that accurately reproduces the technique of experienced craftsmen. This process ensures extremely consistent hammering of the copper and an unmatched polishing quality. The result is a perfectly shaped kettle with an exceptionally even finish.

Excellent Stability & Smooth Mobility
The commercial-grade locking, double-wheel swivel casters, wider stance base legs, and integrated third wheel provide excellent stability and smooth mobility. The wheels are also designed to eliminate any possibility of noise caused from vibration.
