The timpani, or kettledrum, is the orchestral percussion instrument with the longest tradition. It has been established as a staple of the symphony orchestra since the 17th century. Whereas in the Baroque and Classical period one pair of timpani was the standard, four (or even more) instruments in Romantic and modern works are common. The timpani is one of the rare membranophones with a definite pitch and its tuning requires extremely sensitive hearing. The intensity of performance tasks makes it essential that the timpani part in the orchestra is played by a specialist, the “timpanist”. As opposed to other percussionists who usually change instruments as required by the piece (e.g., bass drum, a-due cymbals, tambourine, triangle) the timpanist focuses on playing the timpani part exclusively.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe instrument has a range of about a sixth, a timpani group of several instruments covers approximately two octaves. The sound of the timpani blends homogeneously with other instrument groups of the orchestra. Timpani with majestic brass fanfares have their roots in history, and the combination of strings played in tremolo over a foundation of timpani rolls is a popular combination for creating dramatic and thrilling effects. We’ve recorded single strokes, tremolos (with and without dynamics), and glissandos with various wooden and felt mallets (hard – medium hard – medium) as well as with finger strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSample content:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTIMPANI - A:  Single hits normal and secco \/ 1–3 upbeats \/ Rolls normal and strong dynamics (1, 2, 4, and 6 sec)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eSystem Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePC Windows 7\/8\/10 (latest update, 32\/64-bit), Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.8 (latest update) or higher, Intel Core 2 Duo\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVIENNA KEY (Vienna Symphonic Library USB protection device) or other USB eLicenser (e.g., from Steinberg or Arturia)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1.9 GB free hard drive space for the Standard Library, 1.9 GB for the Full Library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vienna Symphonic Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450019704935,"sku":"63532","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/vienna-timpani-standard-1_ab19ee25-8c24-4662-9b9d-9cb351a0fc3e.jpg?v=1787091354","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/vienna-symphonic-timpani-standard-electronic-delivery","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
