Adams 36×18″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum

Adams 36×18″ Universal Series Gen II Concert Bass Drum offers a perfect blend of deep tone, fast response, and practical portability. Built for schools, ensembles, and rehearsal settings, it provides concert-level sound in a compact, easy-to-handle size.

Balanced Sound with Quick Response

With a 36″ diameter and 18″ depth, this drum delivers a powerful low end with a slightly quicker articulation than deeper models. It’s ideal for music that requires rhythmic clarity without sacrificing warmth and resonance. The size makes it perfect for ensembles needing a strong foundational tone with faster recovery between notes.

Free-Suspended Frame for Better Resonance

The drum is mounted in a free-suspended cradle system that allows the shell to vibrate freely. This design improves sustain and projection while keeping the sound open and natural. By minimizing frame contact, the tone remains full and consistent in any setting.

Lightweight and Mobile

The Gen II frame is built for mobility and durability. Oversized locking casters ensure smooth movement and secure placement, whether in the classroom or on stage. Height adjustment allows for comfortable playing positions for students and professionals alike.

Built for Everyday Use

Outfitted with durable synthetic heads, this drum holds stable tuning and delivers consistent tone regardless of temperature or humidity changes. It’s a dependable choice for daily school use, rehearsals, and transport between venues.
