Adams Symphonic Cambered Copper Timpani

The Symphonic GEN II timpani

Improving on Adams previous generation Symphonic model, the GEN II features a chromed steel support ring and counter hoop, and extra strong struts to maximize the pitch and sustain. Effortless transport is provided by wide base legs for improved stability, smooth rolling casters, and a standard integrated third wheel. With the precision pitch adjustment afforded by the block pedal and fine tuner, and options of three different bowl types, Symphonic GEN II timpani give all players extraordinary control of their sound.

Cambered Hammered Copper
The Cambered, or flat bottomed, shape is based on the bowl shape used in Adams Philharmonic Light and Dresden Classic Timpani. The quality of the tone is darker than other GEN II model, and more focused with a prominent fundamental. The New optional Hand Fine Tuner feature on timpani gives you extended tuning range with a familiar feel and adjustability of a Dresden system with a balanced action pedal. The Fine Tuner also allows the use of calf heads on a balanced action system - another advancement in timpani design from Adams.
