I always thinking of Timpani and drums players in general in any orchestra as unknown soldiers without them the whole symphony will be incomplete

That is a great drum roll for timpani

I've wanted to play this part for the longest time!

The best timpani section ever.

Dear Craig, The great thing about Orff was that he was a percussionist, composer, accoustician, and manufacturer of percussion instruments. When I studied timpani with Richard Hochrainer in Vienna in the early 1970's, his mallets etc. were the only ones available with any real quality (times were obviously very different during those years).

Dear Craig...I am, INDEED, one of your neighbors...I had absolutely NO idea how great you sound on your instrument of choice, the timpani, until I removed my "industrial strength" EARPLUGS! I especially, absolutely love the emphatic, definitive, no-holds-barred G timpano roll you deliver at the end of "Were diu werlt alla min"!...the best I've ever heard...period...now I know who the chorus is "Heiling" at the end!

this guy is great !

This is captivating!

Love dem drums. Always like the timpani. Can't play too loud for me.. The Met had a great tympanist. Thanks for post.

There 2 timpani parts are only in a couple of the movements. The way we handled it, the second player just comes over and shares the same drums. If you watch all the posted video (parts one and two) you will see where a second player comes over.

I bet your neighbors love you?

Craig, great playing... So relaxed.

i love the timpani sound 😍

Love that timpani loud!! Great intonation and way to make the low drum speak with the choir and the brass. Would love to hear the 3rd percussion part come out. Those four stroke ruffs sound amazing when made audible and of course the right timing. And i would put more of a flam in those large cymbal crashes in the beginning. But... Fire the first trumpet. I had to stop listening not long after O Fortuna. Hit the note and get off it. We toured with this opera in college. Our symphony winds did a

Thank you for posting. Great shots and great playing!

Hi, I love this performance of Carmina Burina! The timpani is one of my favourite instruments and I like how the camera stays on the timpani the whole time. Do you have any more videos from this performance? Particularly the section containing Veni, Veni, Venias?

Beautiful!

Excellent demonstration of the rympani.

Oh ok, I haven't watched all the way in. I study at the University of Georgia and Carmina is programmed this season. Thanks for your response!

Ufffffff que espectacular

Hello Craig Zerbe ! My name is Jorge Lucena . I am studying timpani and watch and added your video, I marveled at his presentation . I want to be like you! .. I hope someday to buy wonderful timpani like yours. Goodbye. His Brazilian . I have no money, but I have hope.

This piece is nothing without timpani

I love timpanis!

Davvero bella

These are Yamaha 7200 series timpani. Sizes 32, 29, 26 and 24

Dam u are fast at changning ur clothes xD

mto bom adorei o timpano!!!!!!!!!:D

I had heard this piece with others of its kind and actually purchased some that were of the same intensity. I think some were "Gods of War". Another work I enjoyed was the music for the Trinity Project the Atomic Bomb Movie. It is always a treat to see music you enjoy performed well. This was wonderful. I wish I could have seen the entire choir and orchestra. It was too bad that it wasn't a higher quality video. Still it is EXTREMELY enjoyable.

Awsome

Some good comments. Yes, a little early on the transition in the rehearsal. I am actually left handed.

que lindo!

@guitarharvey Those are little mutes. I don't want the timpani to ring too much in that section. It gives me a more articulate sound. They are called Moon Gels.

Muito legal!!

I love the energy and the accuracy. The only place that I saw that needed a bit of work was that straight odd rhythm at 5:59.

Muzіka је ekstra.

Where had you been at 8:45 that you had to come darting back from? Thanks for posting this, I love watching a busy timp and percs section.

The percussion part may be purchased separately. The timpani and percussion are all on the same part. The music is still copyrighted so I cannot give the part out. I bought my own personal part on eBay. You might try there yourself. Good luck...

hello! would be possible to have a pair of this arrangement for the timpani .. I find it very interesting to study and technical!Excuse the English but I'm Italian and I'm using google translator! :)

Steve Weiss percussion sells the part. See if they will ship it to you. You can Google them, or search for: Orff-Carmina Burana : Timpani e Batteria

yes yes I know it is still subject to copyraigt asked for this arrangement for many times I've seen the video and did not find him anywhere on ebay I'll try thank you very much;)

OMG....!!!!

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but how are the timpani tuned? Based on notes?

You look like Arjen Rooben

hoeheet deze nummers van de muziek

I love timpani rolls so much but i myself i dont have a timpani but i have very fast hands :D

is this the reduced orchestration? I thought there were two timpani parts

how did they change clothes when the camera angle switched?

Bruce Willis?

me manda a parte de timpano

Scare the shit out of a ghost. If Europe is ever reborn, it'll sound like this.

attack on titans !!!!😭😭😂😂

Does anyone have an extra $20,000 sitting around they are willing to give me?
