Adams Musical Instruments - Together in Music

Universal Series Gen II

The Concert Bass Drum with Universal Stand has been developed for a wide range of playing situations and genres. Whether it's in a multi-percussion setup or in the orchestra, these instruments will impress.

The drums are available in four different diameters and two depths, have an 8-way division, and always come with the height-adjustable Adams Universal Stand, which is also rotatable by 360 degrees. Rubber dampers are mounted between the shell and the stand to improve the sound result and eliminate unwanted noises. The wing nuts allow for easy tuning with a swiveling tension screw. Upon request, we can also provide the drum with narrower hoop rings, ideal for setups for pieces like Xenakis' "Rebonds".
