  • @666Atuor The timpanist to the right of the conductor is Steve Weiser, my teacher. I just asked him who the other soloist. I can let you know if you want.

  • depends on the concerto- schwanter's percusson concerto the percussion soloist is to be in the back for the first and third movement and then come to the front for the 2nd movement

    Gillinghams concerto for percussion all the soloist remain in the back as well

  • Well this is a Minimalist piece composed by Phillip Glass in the 20th century so the time period has no effect on the choice of sticks. They probably used hard sticks because the softer ones weren't articulate enough and the sound got garbled together by the time it reached the middle of the hall which depending on the size of the hall could be much more drastic then this recording would lead you to believe. That could also be due to how active the timpani parts are in this concerto.

  • Fun!

  • big guy? or small timpani? hahaha i love this piece!!!!

  • Who are the soloistes and what is this orchestra?

  • I agree it probably would but if this piece was written in the classical or early romatic period then harder sticks would have been all that was available at the time and hence the recital with harder sticks now

    If anyone knows anything more about choice of sticks I would be happy to learn more

    Sorry viharrad if this sounds like I'm having a go
