Description: Overview
Timpani Redesigned from Head to Floor

The Symphonic series and Concert series timpani have been significantly redesigned for unrivaled performance. Yamaha has addressed factors from the design of the Pedal Adjustment Clutch™ to the look of the hardware-small changes that make a big difference in sound and playability.

"The new timpani line is a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts," said Steve Anzivino, percussion product manager, Band & Orchestral Division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "The combination of relatively small changes makes a significant difference in the sound and overall performance of these drums."

The PAC™ is a Yamaha-exclusive feature that allows an artist to change the resistance of the pedal to accommodate individual playing style. It has been streamlined on the new model and is now located on top of the base for easy access. It adjusts with a timpani key so that educators can keep the key in their desk to avoid unwanted adjustment by "idle hands" or inexperienced students.

The new drums also offer a cable-linked tuning gauge with letters and accidental indicators, ensuring better visual tuning accuracy. The tuning gauge housing is enclosed on the sides to protect the moving parts and keep them operating smoothly. The recessed ears in the drums' rims lower the tension rod heads, keeping them well out of the way of sweeping movements during play.

Mobility has also been addressed in the new timpani design, with larger, four-inch locking casters and a reinforced third wheel attachment on all three new series. This new design also brings the mechanism further away from the ground to reduce accidental damage and exposure to dirt.

All Symphonic series models also feature a Remo® Renaissance® head with aluminum insert ring for a warmer, more resonant sound. The Concert series uses a Remo hazy white head with aluminum insert ring for increased sustain.


All three models now feature a striking new "concert" black finish on the hardware to reduce glare and provide an appealing visual contrast with the bowl.
