Adams Symphonic generation II copper pedal timpani - 20"

Introducing the Adams Symphonic generation II copper pedal timpani

The Adams Symphonic Generation II Copper Pedal Timpani delivers unmatched professional performance, precision, and tonal clarity for orchestras, concert bands, and advanced educational settings. Its parabolic copper bowls, polished to a brilliant shine, project rich, vivid tones with full resonance and stable pitch. The updated chromed steel support ring, extra-strong struts, and counter hoop maximize pitch focus and sustain, while wide stance base legs with double-wheel locking casters and an integrated third wheel provide superior stability and smooth mobility. Equipped with a European-style block pedal system and an easy-to-use player-side fine tuner, the Symphonic GEN II offers exceptional control, precision, and reliability for performers at every level. Supplied with Adams Remo Renaissance heads, mallets, and a protective cover, this timpani combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering.

Parabolic Copper Bowls and Precision Craftsmanship

The parabolic copper bowls are machine-hammered and polished to reproduce the exacting technique of expert craftsmen, ensuring consistent tonal quality across all notes. Combined with Adams Remo Renaissance hazy heads with aluminum insert rings, the timpani delivers warm, dark, focused tones with full-range projection and stable pitch in every performance setting.

European-Style Clutch Pedal and Fine Tuning

The toe-release block pedal system locks the pedal in any desired position while maintaining smooth, stable action. Unlike spring-based mechanisms, the fundamental pitch of the head can be adjusted without affecting pedal performance. A player-side fine tuner provides precise control over pitch, allowing the most demanding performers to achieve exact intonation with ease.

Stability, Mobility, and Ergonomics

Wide base legs, double-wheel locking swivel casters, and an integrated third wheel ensure excellent stability and smooth, noise-free movement. Extra-strong struts and the counter hoop support the bowl securely while maximizing pitch and sustain, allowing the timpani to perform reliably in symphony halls, school auditoriums, and touring situations.

Durable, Professional Design

The chromed steel support ring, counter hoop, and reinforced construction combine durability with aesthetic appeal. The Symphonic GEN II is engineered for effortless transport, precise pitch control, and consistent professional sound, making it suitable for the most demanding performance environments.
