[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.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - kettledrum

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.  6, fiche 1, Anglais, - kettledrum

Timpani are typically struck with a special type of drumstick fittingly called a timpani stick or timpani mallet. Timpani sticks are used in pairs. They have two components: a shaft and a head. The shaft is typically made from wood - usually hickory, cherry, birch, persimmon, or maple - or bamboo, but may also be made from aluminum or graphite. The head of the stick can be constructed from a number of different materials, though felt wrapped around a wood core is the most common. Other core materials include felt and cork, and other wrap materials include leather. Sticks can also have exposed wood heads. These are used as a special effect and in authentic performances of Baroque music.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - timpani%20mallet
