Description

Adams 36×18″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum combines warm, resonant tone with a compact, easy-to-manage design. Perfect for schools, concert bands, and touring ensembles, this model offers excellent projection and clarity—thanks to its maple shell and free-suspended frame that maximizes resonance without unwanted dampening.

Materials and Build Quality

With a 36″ diameter and 18″ depth, this drum strikes a balance between full-bodied sound and quick response. The shell is crafted from select maple, known for its warmth, depth, and projection. The free-suspended design allows the shell to vibrate freely within the frame, enhancing sustain and tonal richness.

Equipped with high-quality synthetic heads (calfskin optional), the drum offers a wide tuning range and excellent durability. Reinforced counterhoops and tension rods ensure reliable, even tuning across the head. The frame is fully adjustable, featuring a tilt mechanism and large locking casters for easy transport, secure setup, and flexible positioning.

Performance and Use Case

The 36×18″ Free Suspended Bass Drum is ideal for smaller performance spaces, rhythmically demanding parts, and situations where quick response is key. Its shallower depth allows for tighter articulation while still producing a resonant, concert-quality sound. Whether on stage, in the pit, or in the rehearsal room, this drum offers the tone, control, and portability today’s ensembles need.

  • 36″ diameter × 18″ depth for a warm, focused sound
  • Free-suspended maple shell for maximum resonance
