Description
Adams 32×18″ Concert Bass Drum (no stand) is a professional-quality orchestral bass drum. Designed for deep, resonant tone and powerful projection. Built with precision and care, this instrument is ideal for concert halls, academic institutions, and ensemble performances where tonal clarity and reliability are essential. This version includes the drum only and is supplied without a stand—perfect for percussionists who already have a mounting system or require a custom setup.
Materials and Build Quality
The 32-inch diameter and 18-inch shell depth create a rich, full-bodied tone that offers excellent low-frequency response and sustain. The shell is constructed from select maple plies, chosen for their acoustic warmth and projection. The bearing edges are precisely cut to enhance head response and tuning stability, while the shell’s finish is both durable and elegant for professional stage use.
The drum features high-tension, low-mass cast lugs and chrome hardware to ensure maximum tuning range and mechanical integrity. It is fitted with Remo Fiberskyn or equivalent heads, which offer a traditional calfskin-like response with improved weather resistance. The result is a powerful yet nuanced voice that works equally well in symphonic, wind band, or theatrical contexts.
Performance and Use Case
This model is particularly well suited for orchestras, schools, and conservatories where a deep, expressive bass drum sound is needed without the inclusion of a stand. It allows for flexibility in stand selection, whether floor-mounted, suspended, or tilting frames. The 32″×18″ size delivers strong fundamental pitch with controlled resonance, ideal for classical repertoire, cinematic scores, and dramatic accents in ensemble settings.
