Grade 1-2 pieces with significant timpani parts

Posted by Kipp Brewer on 3/22/2023, 10:22 am

Good morning,

Just looking for pieces in the grade 1 or 2 range that have a significant timpani part. We just got a new set of copper timpani and we need to use them! I'm assuming any piece with a 2- or 4- measure percussion feature might fit the bill...?

Yours,
Kipp Brewer

Afterburn by Standridge has a prominent timpani part. Might be what you're looking for

Check out anything by Randall Standridge... Off the top of my head Darkheart and Darklands Legends may have one. Zooveniers might have a good moment or two. You might send Randall a message and ask him for suggestions, I guarantee he has several pieces that would fit the bill here!

Hercules vs. the Hydra by Scott Watson might have something. Maybe Krakatoa by Owens? (I'm having a hard time remembering the timpani parts specifically right now)

Congrats on the new drums!
