Adams 28″x22″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum

Adams 28″×22″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum offers full-bodied sound, compact dimensions, and excellent portability—making it a great choice for schools, smaller ensembles, and stage setups with limited space. With its free-suspended maple shell and smooth pedal tuning, this bass drum delivers professional tone in a highly manageable size.

Materials and Build Quality

The 28″ diameter and 22″ depth give the drum a warm, round tone with solid low-end presence. It’s crafted from select maple, prized for its rich acoustic properties and consistent projection. The free-suspended design allows the shell to resonate freely, enhancing sustain and eliminating any unwanted damping from the stand.

Outfitted with premium synthetic heads (calfskin optional), the drum offers excellent tuning range and durability. The tension rods and heavy-duty counterhoop ensure stable tuning during long rehearsals or performances. The adjustable frame features oversized locking casters and a tilt mechanism, allowing for easy angle adjustment and secure placement—whether on stage or in the rehearsal room.

Performance and Use Case

The 28″×22″ Free Suspended Bass Drum is ideal for school bands, chamber groups, and pit orchestras where rich tone and space efficiency are both essential. It’s an excellent middle-ground size—smaller than standard orchestral bass drums but still capable of delivering impressive depth and resonance. Its compact profile also makes it easy to transport and store.
