The Timpani is such an awesome instrument. :D

[JimmyEatBlinkRcr]

uh....no....

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

[Boe1771]

@winnryautomail ..are?

[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

[predvcecerom]

is the conductor really needed ?

[kibadanghi]

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

[cskillet2003]

You may want to have your ears checked.

[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?

[fliegevogel]

Hey should use tomtoms - would sound the same!
