A major innovation in timpani design, the Concert Aluminium Series offers the superior sound and performing properties of metal bowl timpani at a price still within reach of those with budget restrictions.
Designed in collaboration with Michael Baker (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), the Concert Aluminium Series is extremely light weight and portable making it the perfect choice for schools and all educational establishments.
Premier Concert Fibreglass timpani feature hand laid fibreglass bowls.
These instruments have the advantage of an overall reduction in weight and provide the perfect alternative for those players on a tight budget, whilst retaining many of the features of the top of the range instruments


Premier Academy Series timpani are ideal for session players, schools, teachers and ensembles who require good tone with economy and ease of transport. They provide an excellent basis for learing two important areas of timpani playing, tuning and relative pitch.
The tuning handles are fixed making them impossible to loose and the three legs are adjustable for height and tilt to suit all playing positions. The legs also have the added advantage of retracting inside the body of the instrument for compact storage.
These instruments have an excellent tone yet have little to service and maintain and the powder coated fittings make them extremely durable. Altogether an excellent introduction to the art of playing timpani.
