Built with a seamless copper bowl and Adams’ smooth pedal tuning system, this drum combines professional-level sound with everyday practicality—ideal for schools, ensembles, and mobile setups.

Materials and Build Quality

This construction delivers a clear, articulate sound in the B–F range with quick response and excellent projection. The copper shell enhances tonal clarity while also providing durability and visual elegance on stage.

The balanced-action pedal system ensures accurate and effortless pitch changes. A built-in fine-tuning gauge allows for quick visual reference, while reinforced counterhoop hardware and high-tension lugs help maintain consistent tuning.

Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller stages or tight storage areas where larger drums may be impractical.
