Adams 28×22″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum

Adams 28×22″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum offers a compact, easy-to-handle design without sacrificing tone or projection. It’s the perfect choice for school music programs, chamber ensembles, or any performance space where sound quality and portability are equally important.

Clear, Focused Sound

With a 28″ diameter and 22″ depth, this drum produces a full-bodied tone with a fast response and clean articulation. Its slightly smaller size makes it ideal for music that requires rhythmic precision, while still delivering enough low-end warmth to support the ensemble.

Enhanced Resonance with Free-Suspended Frame

The shell is mounted using Adams’ free-suspended design, which allows it to resonate freely for greater sustain and a more open sound. By eliminating direct contact between the frame and the shell, this setup helps preserve tone quality and dynamic response.

Lightweight and Easy to Move

The Gen II frame is lightweight, durable, and built for everyday use. Large locking casters make it easy to move across classrooms, stages, or rehearsal spaces, and adjustable height ensures comfortable playing for all performers.

Built for Education and Everyday Use

This model comes equipped with synthetic heads that offer stable tuning and reliable performance in any environment. The frame is tough enough for daily transport and frequent handling, making it an excellent long-term investment for music programs and portable ensemble setups.
