  • Adams Philharmonic Classic Timpani

    Timpani · Netherlands

    The Philharmonic Classic is an all-around Adams timpani that balances openness and focus, sitting in the middle of the professional range. Each seamless copper bowl is drawn from a single piece without seams or soldering, supported by a high-strength suspension ring and cast-steel struts that reduce pressure on the frame and help keep the bowl shape stable.

    The TP-7300 Series is Yamaha's professional timpani line for collegiate and professional players. Freely suspended, hammered copper bowls produce a clear fundamental pitch with fewer unwanted overtones, and the Yamaha-exclusive PAC (Pedal Adjustment Clutch) system lets each player set the pedal resistance. The series spans 20, 23, 26, 29 and 32-inch sizes.

  • Ludwig Standard Symphonic Series Timpani

    Timpani · United States

    Ludwig's Standard Symphonic Series timpani use smooth copper bowls mounted to the struts and the classic Balanced Action Tuning Pedal, with internal tuning mechanisms giving roughly a major-sixth range per drum. One of the most widely used timpani lines worldwide.
