Yamaha Concert Series and Symphonic Series Timpani debut

A variety of enhancements to the Yamaha Concert Series and Symphonic Series Timpani will debut at Winter NAMM 2002. 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 new drums represent upgrades to the TP4100, TP 6100 and TP7100 Series respectively. On the TP6200 Symphonic Series and TP7200 Hammered Symphonic Series, a redesigned and streamlined Pedal Adjustment Clutch is now accessible from directly on top of the base, protecting it from dirt and reducing the chance of accidental breakage or locking. The PAC™ is a Yamaha-exclusive feature that allows an artist to change the resistance of the pedal to accommodate individual playing style. These two series also feature a Remo® Renaissance® head with aluminum insert ring for a warmer, more resonant sound.
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. 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.
The TP4200 Concert Series features an FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) bowl and is ideal for middle schools and smaller high schools where weight and budget are prime considerations. It features a Remo® WeatherKing® head with aluminum insert ring for increased dynamic range and a more resonant sound. The TP6200 uses a smooth copper bowl and is available in 20-, 23-, 26-, 29- and 32-inch sizes for high schools and universities that want a projecting, dynamic sound. The TP7200, available in 20-, 23-, 24-, 26-, 27-, 29- and 32-inch sizes, boasts a 4-mm steel rim, and hand-hammered copper bowl to provide a pure, dynamic response for advanced high schools, universities and professional symphonies. All models will be available in June 2002.
