Adams 32″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani

Adams 32″ Professional Generation II Fibre Timpani is a lightweight, cost-effective solution for orchestras, schools, and mobile ensembles seeking deep, resonant tone without the weight and maintenance of copper. Built with a high-quality fibre bowl and Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system, this timpano offers reliable tuning, strong projection, and exceptional value for professional and educational use.

Materials and Build Quality

The 32″ bowl is constructed from reinforced fibreglass (fibre) and shaped into a traditional parabolic profile to enhance depth, resonance, and fundamental pitch. While lighter than copper, the fibre material still provides a broad, warm tone suitable for foundational timpani parts in the D–A range. Its resistance to temperature and humidity changes makes it especially ideal for school, rehearsal, and touring environments.

The Generation II balanced-action pedal mechanism delivers smooth, stable pitch control with quick, responsive tuning changes. A built-in fine-tuning gauge ensures precise visual reference, and the reinforced counterhoop and high-tension lugs maintain even head tension. The drum is mounted on Adams’ durable aluminum suspension frame, which includes pneumatic height adjustment and large locking casters for effortless mobility and ergonomic comfort.

Performance and Use Case

This 32″ Professional GEN2 fibre timpani is perfect for ensembles needing a low-end timpano that is both practical and tonally strong. Whether in school band rooms, regional orchestras, or mobile performance setups, this drum provides dependable low-register presence and stable pedal tuning. It pairs seamlessly with other fibre or copper GEN2 models in a full-drum configuration.
