Are you sure it shook the entire stage? I'd think that it just shook the timpani head from the vibration.

@BLdrummer740 Well the stage where we (the percussion) were playing was hollow so yes it was enough to shake the stage...

why are there 2 sets of timpani?

@Aaaronicus Mahler 6. is written for two timpanists, that's why.

Actually, seeing this begs the question; did this performance include the infamous 3rd Hammerblow that Mahler himself took out?

No, we didn't play it. But I've played the 3rd hammer blow in a concert once with the finnish conductor Leif Segerstam.
