Bach, Toccata and Fugue in d arranged for Timpani and Piano

[terenchion1]

he changes the notes with his feet you idiot.... thats how the timpani works...

[MRLOVINGOOD]

This person has a good set of ears and more than likely has perfect hearing.He has a pedel at each of the drums bottom to change the pitches of each.That's my tinking of how it's done.I've not been around music for more than thirty years.I just saw a lady playing a set of seven drums in a full conceto for timpani fifteen mins ago and I saw her using her pedals a lot for changing the pitches when she had to play a lot of notes in that concerto.Thanks,loving "YOUTUBE" more each day I use,

[gmckennon]

Very cool combination. I love those rolls.

[lovesGenet]

 Wow ! What a novel and successful idea. I must learn how to right for timpani and all the resources of the percussion group !

Wow. I would've never thought about a TImpani and Piano performing as a duo...but it has an amazing effect. Truly heart-pounding.

WOW  !!!!

[linguamortua]

OH MY GOD!!!! That's insane!

[skidrum11]

Wonderful!!!

Amazing crisp pedaling...great arrangement.

The timpani really capture the sonority of an organ.

[gurcrist]

LOL. That was the best comment yet!

Incredibly entertaining, but capturing the sonority of an organ? ;)

[skidrum11]

Sonorous; Having or producing a full, deep, or rich sound.

I'm not saying that timpani are the same as organs, simply that timpani have a nice dark, powerful tonality that suits this piece better than, say, a flute.

[gurcrist]

It most certainly sounds better with timp than a flute ;)

[sruttenb]

Fantastic! You can hear every note. Great playing and arranging!

[JaredIsrael]

Superb! The arrangement, the playing, everything. How kind of you to provide this for us!

[trubr8]

Wow, that's amazing. I especially like the parts where the timpani plays the fugue and then the bass lines. I bet that took a good long while to work out!
