[[Fanfare and Dance for Solo Timpani]] by [[David Eyler]] takes the timpanist through two distinct styles, working on many traditional techniques with a few little tricks thrown in here and there to keep them on their toes. The opening fanfare is stately and proud, and there are no major tuning changes. A few times the player is told to play several pitches in a row on the same drum, and these are always stepwise in motion. In the dance, the player needs to focus on rhythmic accuracy and moving around the drums in an efficient manner - it's a good lesson in figuring out effective stickings. This section contains no tuning at all. This solo can be used as a nice teaching tool to get students comfortable playing [[timpani]] if they've only worked on [[snare drum]] or keyboards in the past. Most of the solo requires basic technique, and anything advanced is presented in tolerable portions.

Fanfare and Dance for Solo Timpani by David Eyler takes the timpanist through two distinct styles, working on many traditional techniques with a few little tricks thrown in here and there to keep them on their toes. The opening fanfare is stately and proud, and there are no major tuning changes. A few times the player is told to play several pitches in a row on the same drum, and these are always stepwise in motion. In the dance, the player needs to focus on rhythmic accuracy and moving around the drums in an efficient manner - it's a good lesson in figuring out effective stickings. This section contains no tuning at all. This solo can be used as a nice teaching tool to get students comfortable playing timpani if they've only worked on snare drum or keyboards in the past. Most of the solo requires basic technique, and anything advanced is presented in tolerable portions.
