Adams 26″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani

Adams 26″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani is a high-quality, lightweight timpano that combines excellent tonal clarity, durable materials, and smooth pedal tuning in a cost-effective format. Ideal for schools, youth orchestras, and touring ensembles, this model is engineered to deliver professional performance without the weight or maintenance of a traditional copper bowl.

Materials and Build Quality

The 26″ bowl is crafted from robust, weather-resistant fiberglass and formed into a cambered profile, enhancing pitch focus, articulation, and tonal balance. Though lighter than copper, the fibre material maintains impressive projection and consistent tonal characteristics—perfect for educational and mobile environments where weight and durability are critical concerns.

Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system offers precise, stable tuning with a fluid feel that responds easily underfoot. A built-in fine-tuning gauge allows quick visual pitch reference, while reinforced counterhoop hardware ensures even tension and long-term tuning reliability. The drum is mounted on a lightweight aluminum suspension frame featuring pneumatic height adjustment and large locking casters for easy positioning and transport.

Performance and Use Case

This 26″ timpano is typically tuned in the E–B range and functions as a central voice in a standard four- or five-drum setup. Its clear, resonant sound and responsive tuning make it ideal for school bands, university ensembles, and community orchestras. With its portability, weather resistance, and consistent tone, this timpano is equally at home in rehearsal rooms, performance halls, or outdoor venues.
