Adams 36×22″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum

Adams 36×22″ Free Suspended Concert Bass Drum delivers powerful projection, rich tone, and unmatched resonance in a compact and portable design. Built with a free-suspended maple shell, this professional-grade concert bass drum is ideal for orchestras, wind ensembles, and music programs that need world-class sound in a slightly smaller footprint.

Materials and Build Quality

The 36″ diameter and 22″ depth strike the perfect balance between depth and clarity, producing a deep, resonant tone with strong low-end presence and clean articulation. The shell is crafted from premium maple, known for its warmth, projection, and rich tonal complexity. The free-suspended design allows the shell to resonate fully, with no dampening from the frame—maximizing sustain and tonal color.

The drum is fitted with high-quality synthetic heads (calfskin optional), offering excellent tuning stability and consistent response across all dynamic levels. Heavy-duty lugs and counterhoops ensure precise tuning and long-term durability. The frame is fully adjustable and includes large locking casters for smooth transport and stable setup. The stand also features a tilt mechanism, allowing you to angle the drum for optimal sound projection and playing comfort.

Performance and Use Case

Ideal for professional ensembles, conservatories, and concert settings of all sizes, the Adams 36×22″ bass drum provides commanding presence without overwhelming the ensemble. It excels in both thunderous accents and subtle textures, making it a versatile option for a wide range of repertoire—from Classical symphonies to modern film scores. Its slightly smaller diameter also makes it easier to transport and store.
