Behind the Sound: What is a timpani? 

The second I heard "I'm Tim" I knew this was the best video on the timpani I could have clicked on

I love how even light hits clip the mics they're using for the interview. Beautiful instruments! Great video!

Thank you for the information

I’m TIM and I play the TIMpani

Tim, the best explanation is little talk and much play. I still really want to actually hear the differences of playing in the middle compared to the "best spot". Also please let us hear all the different pitches when using the pedals.... I wait for an update 😅

Thank you Tim. V informative.

Thanks for this video !

Oh the Ghetsis drum cool!

I wonder if Tim's last name is Pani?

Seems like a flaw if only the inner part of the circle sounds good. I wonder how one would fix that?

Aren’t the sticks called mallets?

I doni speaker english the pen is on the table

“I’m Tim and I play the timpani, I like to wear timberland boots” The Tim multiverse

Timpani are my favourite pitched percussion instrument.

Not only does Tim play the timpani but he also plays the trumpet

Timpani is just thumpies :P

"What are timpani?" or "What is a timpano?" For the Italians, ha ha!

He's like Maytag, the loneliest man on stage, but everybody needs a good roll and slash form the cymbals in tune to get my movie attention, Tim's got a job for life.

Very very well explained 👏🏻

Very nice explanation, shitty distorted sound...

I came here from encountering pop songs like "love don't cost a thing" by JLo recently and hearing timpani in it. Not a fan of pop songs usually. There are some silly bangers! I haven't played kit or samba group drums for nearly 30 years, but am a percussion appreciator. I love what you do!

Thanks Tim, I was drawn to check this out after watching Roger Taylor play them. Now I know a little bit more and that 'timpani' rhymes with 'symphony' - cheers

Nice video Tim.👏

Umm.... I don't think the calf is going to like having you play on it's head. Just sayin'. 😜

Its the pedal that is missing from the music keyboard. For cartoon effects of bouncing and keyboard bouncing keys... Bounce-Rebound control

Just heard a rendition of Jupiter and it didn't have timpanis...soooo disappointing

I I'm playing timpani from one of my concerts for the first time this was really helpful. Thank you from a fellow protectionist.

Tims suit makes me feel like these are actually snare drums
