Description

Adams 32×18″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum offers rich tone, fast response, and an easy-to-handle size—perfect for schools, concert bands, and smaller performance spaces. Its compact depth makes it easier to control while still delivering the warmth and resonance expected from a professional-grade instrument.

Materials and Build Quality

The 32″ diameter provides a strong low-end voice, while the 18″ depth gives the drum a quicker response and more focused attack. Crafted from high-quality maple, the shell produces a warm, balanced tone with excellent projection. The free-suspended design allows the shell to resonate without obstruction, maximizing sustain and clarity.

Fitted with durable synthetic heads (with optional calfskin available), the drum offers a wide dynamic range and tuning flexibility. Reinforced counterhoops and heavy-duty tension lugs help maintain stable, even tuning—even under frequent use. The aluminum frame is height-adjustable and includes a tilt mechanism and oversized locking casters for smooth transport and secure positioning.

Performance and Use Case

The 32×18″ Free Suspended Bass Drum is ideal for ensembles that need a warm, resonant sound in a space-saving design. It’s a great choice for pit orchestras, school stages, and mobile setups where size and portability matter. The shallower shell helps improve articulation, making it especially useful for rhythmically detailed or fast passages, without losing depth or presence.

Key Features

  • 32″ diameter × 18″ depth for clear, full-bodied sound
  • Free-suspended maple shell for maximum resonance
  • Synthetic heads included (calfskin available on request)
  • Fully adjustable frame with tilt and locking wheels
  • Compact and easy to move—great for schools and pit setups
