Adams 28×18″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum

Adams 28×18″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum is a compact, lightweight solution for schools, ensembles, and performance spaces with limited room. Despite its smaller size, it delivers a full, resonant sound with excellent clarity—perfect for everyday use in educational and rehearsal settings.

Compact Size, Clear Tone

With a 28″ diameter and 18″ depth, this model offers a focused, punchy tone with quick response. It’s ideal for music that requires rhythmic precision without overpowering the ensemble. Its compact design makes it especially useful in pit orchestras, chamber groups, and classrooms where space is at a premium.

Free-Suspended Design for Better Resonance

The drum is mounted in a free-suspended Gen II cradle, which allows the shell to resonate freely for improved sustain and clarity. By eliminating direct contact between the shell and the frame, the design keeps the tone open and natural—enhancing projection even from a smaller drum size.

Lightweight, Mobile Frame

The Gen II frame is built for mobility and everyday use. Oversized locking casters make it easy to move between rooms or venues, and the adjustable height allows for comfortable playing for performers of all ages. The lightweight frame ensures easy transport and quick setup without sacrificing stability.

Durable and Consistent

Equipped with synthetic heads, this bass drum offers reliable tuning and consistent tone in any environment. It’s a great choice for schools, studios, and traveling ensembles that need dependable performance every day.
