[From Introduction] Twentieth century orchestral timpani repertoire demands an increasingly high level of technical proficiency. No longer can the aspiring timpanist be satisfied with the technique that was sufficient for timpani repertoire during the classic and romantic periods of symphonic literature. This collection of technical studies is designed as a supplemental text while performing solo timpani repertoire and musical studies as found in the major timpani methods and collections. Artistic timpani students and the professional solo timpanist should find these exercises stimulating warm-up material, and may continue to invent additional studies, hundreds of which are not included in this book. THE WELL-TEMPERED TIMPANIST was written for timpani teachers and students of all levels and designed to assist the professional timpanist. Contents include: Introduction; Foreword; Two drum sticking exercises; Three drum sticking exercises; Four drum sticking exercises; Five drum sticking exercises; Six drum sticking exercises; Two drum muffling exercises; Three drum muffling exercises; Four drum muffling exercises; Five and six drum muffling exercises; The Roll; Staccato studies; Tuning studies; Cross rhythms.
