Record 3 2009-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Percussion Instruments
DEF

A drum consisting of a hollow brass or copper hemisphere and a parchment top that can be tuned by adjusting the tension using screws around the circumference.

OBS

[Kettledrums] are played by striking the head with a specialized drum stick called a timpani stick or timpani mallet. Unlike most drums, they produce a definite pitch when struck, and can be tuned, often with the use of a pedal.

OBS

The term « timpani» is an Italian word and is the pural of «timpano». The plural form has been adopted in the English language and appears as such in reference dictionaries. The term «timpani» can refer to either one kettledrum or to a set of two or more kettledrums; it can therefore be used with a plural or singular verb. The English plural form «timpanis» is also sometimes used.

Key term(s)
