Official synopsis Publisher
The ‘Special’ Timpanist. This book is not a manual on how to play the timpani or instructions about what you must do to become a successful timpanist (there are too many books like this). It is a combination of a short biography, some pointers in the basics and interpretation of timpani parts together with some true stories about the days in the life of just one professional timpanist.
