Adams 23″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani

Adams 23″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani offers a lightweight, durable, and budget-friendly solution for percussionists who demand reliable performance without the added weight of copper kettles. Designed with educational institutions, youth ensembles, and mobile performers in mind, this timpano delivers bright, focused tone and smooth tuning in a highly portable package.

Materials and Build Quality

The 23″ bowl is constructed from reinforced fiberglass (fibre) and shaped into a cambered profile, producing excellent pitch focus, fast articulation, and a clear, singing tone. Though lighter than copper, the fibre material maintains strong projection and is resistant to temperature and humidity changes—making it ideal for school use and touring ensembles.

The Adams Generation II balanced-action pedal system allows for seamless and stable pitch changes. An integrated fine-tuning gauge provides visual accuracy for quick pitch reference, while the reinforced counterhoop and high-tension lugs maintain consistent tuning. The timpano is supported by a height-adjustable aluminum suspension frame equipped with large locking casters for ergonomic setup and secure stage placement.

Performance and Use Case

The 23″ GEN2 fibre timpani is typically used to cover the G–D range and is ideal for filling the upper-middle voice in a four- or five-drum configuration. It is especially well-suited for schools, community ensembles, pit orchestras, and performance situations that require portability without sacrificing tonal quality. Whether in rehearsal, performance, or outdoor events, this timpano delivers practical versatility with refined sound.
