Description
Adams 23″ Professional Generation II Copper Timpani is a high-register timpano offering bright, focused tone and smooth pedal control. Designed for orchestral and academic use, this model features a seamless copper bowl and Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system, delivering reliable pitch accuracy and tonal clarity for advanced percussionists and institutions alike.
Materials and Build Quality
The 23″ bowl is crafted from seamless, polished copper and shaped into a traditional parabolic profile. This design supports excellent tonal focus and pitch center, producing a clear, articulate sound in the G–D range. The copper construction ensures projection and resonance across all dynamic levels, while the polished finish adds a refined visual touch for professional stage settings.
The Generation II balanced-action pedal system provides smooth, responsive tuning and stable pitch transitions. A fine-tuning gauge is integrated for precise visual pitch reference, and the high-tension tuning hardware ensures consistent head tension. The timpano is supported by Adams’ lightweight aluminum suspension frame with pneumatic height adjustment and oversized locking casters—ensuring mobility, comfort, and secure placement in any venue.
Performance and Use Case
The 23″ GEN2 copper timpani is typically used to cover the upper range of a timpani setup, making it essential in four- or five-drum configurations. Its clear tone and rapid response are ideal for exposed passages and solo lines, particularly in Classical and contemporary orchestral repertoire. It is a trusted choice for conservatories, orchestras, and professionals seeking accurate, articulate upper-register performance.
