The Adams Professional GEN II has everything you are looking for as a timpanist, so you can careless focus on making music. It is not for nothing that this is the most played timpani in the world. The perfect timpani for the band-, marching-, and educational scene.
At the heart of the GEN II is a patented, balanced action pedal mechanism with adjustable spring tension. Each drum’s pedal action is adjustable via a tension knob on the base, allowing it to be smooth over an extended tuning range.
The Professional GEN II bowl is suspended from a chrome-plated steel ring, and is supported by extra strong struts. New double-wheel locking casters, wider stance base legs, and integrated third wheel provide more stability and maneuverability than previously available.
