"The Complete Timpani Method"is a comprehensive and extensive method for timpani. Many essential musical skills are covered: basic theory (the building blocks of all music); technique, and facts (from sticking, muffling, and rolls to instrument care); intonation (tuning of intervals, scales, glissandos, three and four timpani exercises); a large selection of standard symphonic timpani repertoire (from the classics of Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, R. Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, and more).
