Ryosuke Yagi - Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra (Excerpts)

[predvcecerom]

is the conductor really needed ?

[carpii]

@predvcecerom yeah, he is. It might look like he's just going through the motions of waving a stick, but hes the one giving the instructions and coordinating it all. Not telling them how to play, but just guiding them on timing and sometimes volume, and keeping the orchestra all gelling together.

Its kinda like a manager in an office, often looks like he's sat there all day doing nothing, but if he disappeared it'd be VERY noticeable :D

[kibadanghi]

pretty impressive, never heard of it before. the percussion has enormous presence

[ponhand]

pretty serious

[batteurII]

I like it very much, not just the timpani but the whole percussion section.

@fliegevogel: warum tomtoms? das is ja ein riesen unterschied?

[JimmyEatBlinkRcr]

uh....no....

That would not work....at all...

[fliegevogel]

Hey should use tomtoms - would sound the same!
