Description
Adams 23″ Professional Generation II Copper Hammered Timpani is a meticulously crafted timpano designed for upper-range clarity, responsive tuning, and robust tonal projection. Featuring a hand-hammered copper bowl and Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system, this model is ideal for professional orchestras, conservatories, and serious percussionists who require brilliant, focused tone in the high register.
Materials and Build Quality
The 23″ bowl is hand-hammered from seamless copper and shaped into a traditional parabolic profile. This enhances the tonal body while maintaining a strong pitch center and clean overtone control. The hammering process enriches the drum’s sonic complexity, giving it both brilliance and warmth—ideal for the G–D pitch range.
Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system provides smooth and precise tuning with excellent pitch stability across dynamic ranges. A built-in fine-tuning gauge offers quick visual pitch reference, while the heavy-duty counterhoop and high-tension lugs ensure consistent head tension and tuning accuracy. The timpano is supported by a lightweight but strong suspension frame, featuring pneumatic height adjustment and large locking casters for mobility and ergonomic positioning.
Performance and Use Case
This 23″ Professional GEN2 model is a key part of any advanced four- or five-drum timpani setup, offering exceptional clarity and articulation for upper-register passages. Whether in orchestral settings, chamber ensembles, or solo performances, it provides the responsive tone and tuning required for high-register detail and definition. Its compact size also makes it ideal for performance spaces with limited room.
