Description
Adams 29″ Symphonic Generation II Copper Cambered Hammered Timpani delivers powerful tonal clarity and responsive tuning in a professional-grade instrument designed for serious timpanists. Featuring a hand-hammered cambered copper bowl and Adams’ Generation II balanced-action pedal system. This model offers a refined voice and reliable performance for orchestras, conservatories, and advanced percussionists.
Materials and Build Quality
The 29″ bowl is expertly hand-hammered from high-quality copper and formed into a cambered profile. This design produces a slightly darker, more focused tone than traditional parabolic bowls, with enhanced clarity, reduced overtone clutter, and excellent sustain. The hammering process increases vibrational complexity, lending the instrument a warm, expressive character ideal for mid-to-low range orchestral playing.
The Generation II pedal mechanism provides smooth, precise pitch changes through a balanced-action design, while a fine-tuning gauge allows for accurate pitch adjustments during performance. The timpano is equipped with a durable counterhoop and high-tension tuning rods to maintain pitch stability across dynamic ranges. A suspension frame made of lightweight yet sturdy aluminum supports the bowl, with pneumatic height adjustment and large locking casters ensuring ergonomic flexibility and secure mobility.
Performance and Use Case
Suited to the central role in a full timpani setup, the 29″ size covers the C–G range, making it a key component for most classical and contemporary repertoire. This timpano is ideal for symphonic orchestras, opera pits, university programs, and solo performances where tonal precision, projection, and tuning reliability are required. It pairs seamlessly with other Adams GEN2 timpani to form a cohesive, responsive set.
