Description

Adams 29″ Symphonic Generation II Copper Hammered Timpani delivers exceptional tonal depth, professional-grade mechanics, and handcrafted artistry for orchestras, conservatories, and advanced performers. Designed for tonal richness and precise pitch control, this timpano features a hammered copper bowl and Adams’ refined Generation II pedal mechanism, setting a high standard for symphonic percussion.

Materials and Build Quality

The 29″ bowl is hand-hammered from high-grade copper, producing a dark, full-bodied tone with complex overtones and long-lasting sustain. The hammering process enhances resonance while enriching the tonal palette, especially in the lower range.

Adams’ Generation II tuning system offers smooth, precise pedal operation with excellent pitch stability. The balanced-action mechanism ensures even, responsive movement throughout the full tuning range. Fine-tuning is controlled via an adjustable tuning gauge, and each drum includes a professional-grade counterhoop and tension rods for maximum durability and tuning consistency. The drum is mounted on a height-adjustable suspension frame with large, locking casters for easy positioning and secure placement.

The Adams 29″ Symphonic GEN2 timpani is ideal for orchestras, opera houses, universities, and professional percussionists seeking clarity, control, and low-end presence. Its size and tonal profile make it a foundational component in any full timpani setup. The expertly engineered frame, tuning system, and bowl combine to deliver consistent performance in rehearsals, recordings, and live settings.
