We are pleased to introduce the new version of the professional timpani. For years they have been one of adams most successful instruments both for amateurs and professionals. The main principal of the mechanism has remained unchanged.

Dimensions and sizes

Adams Professional timpani are available in size of 20", 23", 26", 29" and 32". The range of these timpani are: 20" E-B, 23" D-B, 26" A-F, 29" F-D, 32" D-B. On special request these ranges may be 'shifted'. The tuning key is stored in a plastic holder in the base.

The Kettle

By tradition the kettle is formed by pressing a single sheet of red copper. Contrary to other moulding methods, pressing has the great advantage of maintaining the same thickness throughout the kettle which is extremely important for a good sound. Adams Professional timpani are available in four different types of kettle ie. fiberglass, polished copper, hammered copper, hammered-cambered copper.

Pedal

The pedal system of the Professional timpani is perfectly balanced by means of a balanced spring mechanism in the bas of the timpani. It is very light and easy to use. No mechanical adjustment is ever required if head tension is tuned to the correct fundamental. The Professional timpani is the world easiest timp to use!

Tuning Gauge

All Professional timpani come standard with a tuning gauge. The cast aluminum gauge is very stable and is fitted with easily adjustable indices which slide perfectly over a chromium-plated strip.

Construction

The frame of the Professional timpani ie. base and struts, is made of aluminum. The struts are mounted on to the base using wider plate. The kettle is suspended by means of a strong and firm, contoured and rolled steel ring. This ring ensures the timp's stability during transport. If a flat ring is used the timp will not stay 100% round and the sound will soon deteriorate.
