Adams Revolution Series Timpani have a number of patented developments that combine truly professional performance sound quality with an innovative balanced action pedal system, height adjustment system, wide range hand fine-tuner, and a removable, folding base for true portability. For the first time ever, calf heads can be used on a balanced action pedal, and an octave can be achieved from each drum with the range tuner. There has never been a more practical, portable, high-quality instrument. The base and bowl of the Revolution Series Timpani easily separate without tools, making these the only truly portable high-quality drums available. When separated from the base, each Revolution drum maintains tension and has a range of a 5th using the hand fine tuner feature. The base itself folds and locks and can be easily carried away using the built-in handle. The oversized double locking swivel casters combined with the permanently installed locking third wheel assembly on the pedal help the Revolution drums glide with fingertip effort.

Adams Baroque Series Timpani are designed in the tradition of the 18th century, a perfect balance between traditional perfection and 21st-century technology. A combination of the finest Kalfo heads along with a specially produced hammered copper timpani bowl enables a perfect match of articulation and vintage character needed for an authentic baroque timpani sound. Baroque Series Timpani feature special stain lacquered bowls, raw formed steel counter rims, and brass lug appointments that create a striking look that is both up-to-date and timeless. Large thread tuning screws and swivel nut style lug casings allow for easy and fast tuning. Baroque Timpani have a very clear and bright sound throughout the range that enables precise articulation.
