Introducing the Majestic Concert hammered copper deep cambered timpani
Concert series timpani offer lightweight portability and an extended range of height adjustment making them ideal for both the gigging pro and for promoting good technique to young players.
These timpani are uniquely designed to have a flat bottom when the legs are folded up, so they can be stored upright instead of on the head. A double wheel set on the front makes the timpani stable when being transported which can be locked in place, ensuring stability when performing. And as a finishing touch they feature a wonderfully smooth pedal system, perfect for a rapid and seamless changes on stage or in the studio.
Quality hammered copper kettle
Copper kettles are a time tested, extremely popular choice - and for good reason. Not just aesthetically pleasing, they also produce a fantastic sound with a rich overtone series. These kettles have been hammered using an accurate computerised process that hardens the copper, opening up the sound. Precisely tuned and made with a deep camber these timpani produce an even, warm, and powerful tone across the full range.
The smooth blocked pedal system
The blocked pedal system renders the pedal action exceptionally light. Uniquely designed, the spring system ensures smooth pedal action over the full range of almost one octave. A total of four feet make these timpani very stable when being played. For transportation these feet slide into the kettle so the instruments can easily be stored upright instead of on the head because of the flat bottom. The two front legs are connected and have castors for easy transport on stage.
Convenient tuning
Concert series timpani are equipped with the well known and eye-pleasing Majestic tuning guages, which are extremely accurate and easily adjustable.

About Majestic
Majestic is a brand of thoughtfully designed instruments for the professional, the educator, and today's percussion student, utilising carefully constructed ideas born from both traditional percussion instrument heritage and a culture of innovation. The family firm was founded in 1921, supplying organs, pianos and wind instruments with the production of percussion following shortly after.
In 1960 the Majestic brand name was introduced, starting with drum kits which were prevalent among rock bands in the Netherlands. Orchestral and marching percussion soon became the corner stone of the brand, with timpani, marching drum and tuned percussion becoming areas of speciality for Majestic.
To this day product development, engineering, and production are overseen by family members and every model must adhere to stringent standards of craftsmanship and performance.
Please note: all large tuned percussion instruments such as xylophones, marimbas, and vibes etc. are delivered boxed and require assembly.
