The Adams Baroque Timpani is designed in the tradition of the 18th century, a perfect balance between traditional perfection and 21st century technology. A combination of the finest Kalfo heads and a timpani bowl that is developed and produced by Adams, special to match the sound of the old character needed for baroque timpani.

The Adams Generation II Professional Timpani are mid-range instruments that are great for high schools, universities, and aspiring professional timpanists looking for quality instruments that you don't need a mortgage to afford. Costs have been kept moderate, but quality abounds with these features:

• Hand-Hammered Copper Bowls: made from a single piece of copper without any seams, the bowls are then hammered by hand. Sound waves will slide off of smooth surfaces, but the internal bumps give the bowl enough texture to keep sound waves bouncing around inside, giving you a darker, fuller overall sound.
• Cambered Bowl: the slightly flattened bowl on this drum is of the same design found on the Philharmonic Light series, and provides more fundamental tone.
• Balanced Action Pedal Mechanism: spring tension is used to change the pitch of the heads, and no clutch is needed. The pedal action is smooth, and a spring tension knob at the base of the drum allows you to adjust the tension so that the action remains smooth throughout the entire range of the instrument.
• Suspension Ring: a single-flanged chrome-plated steel ring supported by thick struts will keep the bowl and the head from warping.
• Renaissance Heads: these Remo heads have very dark, resonant, warm qualities while still retaining the resilient qualities of a synthetic head. (Steel insert ring)
• Wheels: the Professional Generation II timpani have a special set of wheels on either side of the pedal, which lock in place while playing. This small but significant innovation makes moving these bulky instruments as easy as possible.
• Included extras: tuning key, drop cover, mute, tuning gauge

Adams Timpani Muffler (one)

The impressive Sound and Quality of the Philharmonic Timpani is worldwide the most used. The classic European style of the Adams frame, in combination with the latest computer aided machine technology, results in timpani frame construction that is unmatched in precision, quality and attention to detail.



Adams Philharmonic Classic Timpani are available in the following sizes: 20"-23"-26"-29"-32" with Remo renaissance heads. Drums can be ordered either American or German playing system.



New in the Adams Timpani line is the Philharmonic Classic. This lightweight instrument is equipped with a pedal mechanism in the old style ratchet, a very basic system like in former days. More and more musicians asked for a timpani with a authentic character. And because Adams is a company of continuous innovation and development they now proudly present this new model.



The Philharmonic Classic featured the redesigned patented split rocker arm system. An unique system with an amazing design that decreases the pressure on the frame of the timpani. This will prevent against any flex or changes in the shape of the frame or bowl.

Another great advantage of the Classic is that an extra bar for connection from the front axle to the cam is no longer needed. This is one of the reasons that makes the new model an absolutely lightweight with a great design.
