Adams 26" 2PAUFFI26D FS German
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
This Adams 26-inch timpani is a fantastic option for collegiate and professional percussionists. The parabolic bowl offers a really pleasing, warm tone that’s surprisingly responsive, and the fixed pedal makes it a joy to play. It’s a premium-priced instrument, but the build quality and sound justify the investment for serious orchestral players.
