Zelon is a material designed by Adams to emulate the sound of wooden marimba bars while eliminating the damaging effects of humidity and sun exposure. Zelon has a glassier, more resonant sound than wooden bars, and can withstand more of a beating.

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

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.

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.

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.

Adams continues to meld the worlds of today and yesteryear with the Philharmonic Dresden Classic Timpani. These instruments from this German city have long been considered to be among the best in the world, and Adams continues that legacy with several features:

• Strong Struts: the simple, sturdy struts on this instrument will keep anything from warping or bending due to strain.
• Calfskin Heads: All-natural calfskin has been the preferred material for timpani heads for centuries, and many professional timpanists still hold that opinion.
• Fine-Tuner: a hand crank within easy reach allows the timpanist to finely tune the pitch when just slightly sharp or flat.
• 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 fuller overall sound.
• Dresden-style Pedals: these pedals have a clutch-lock mechanism that allows the pedal to be mechanically locked in place when not in use, keeping the pitch of the drums true. To hold with tradition, this pedal has a ratchet with interlocking metal teeth that will lock in the pitch and hold it true.
• Wheels: timpani, for all of their glory, are bulky and heavy. Wheels were invented long ago to help people move bulky, heavy objects.

This instrument is 20" in diameter.
