Premier Concert 29" Pedal Timpani Polished Copper Overview
The Premier Concert 29" Pedal Timpani is the perfect blend of orchestral heritage and technical innovation. Top of the line in every area, the Concert's newly upgraded pedal assembly provides unmatched tuning flexibility and stability, with a smooth and consistent action. The highly polished copper bowl's precision-engineered, parabolic shape projects a deeper, darker, more natural tone that's ideal for orchestral playing.
The Concert Pedal Timpani's 2" oversized counterhoop is powder coated, allowing the instrument to handle a large tonal range with ease. Its highly accurate angled "shield" tuning gauge is incredibly easy to see and read and works straight from the pedal for maximum tuning pitch accuracy. With a tuning key and a protective, half-drop cover included, Premier has left no stone unturned in creating a timpani perfect for the professional player.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionSuperior tone
The Premier Concert Pedal Timpani has been precisely crafted to produce a full-bodied, organic sound. Created with orchestral playing specifically in mind, its parabolic shape focusses the internal reflections to a single point, for a more coherent and reliable tone across the entire tuning range.
Every element of the bowl's design has been manufactured to Premier's meticulous specification. A uniform wall thickness, and highly polished finish ensure a timbre that's consistent, while responding to the demanding dynamic range of orchestral performances.
Simple, solid tuning
Practical playability is at the forefront of the Premier Concert's design, and that begins with its tuning system. As well as an improved, smoother pedal mechanism, the Concert's angled 'Shield' tuning gauge has been revised and revamped for maximum visibility and easy operation. Fed directly from the pedal, the gauge is incredibly accurate, making it ideal for high pressure scenarios.
International sizes
Premier's Concert Series of timpani has been created to incorporate an 'international' range of sizes. The standard 32", 29", 26", and 23" diameter instruments produce a 9" overall span, creating a range of tuning options, so you can always select the timpani with the ideal tone for the note you require.
Premier Remo Renaissance heads
Each Premier Concert Timpani comes fitted with an outstanding, Remo Renaissance head. These durable, resonant skins offer impressive sensitivity, with an aluminium insert ring providing extra resilience, stability, and projecting a focussed, warm tone across the entire dynamic range of the instrument.
Historic percussion
The Premier name has been synonymous with top quality, specialist orchestral percussion for more than 70 years. Trusted for generations by principal percussionists in some of the world's most famous ensembles, Premier timpani are renowned for their natural, musical timbre, unbeatable durability, and fantastic, player-friendly features.
