Modern Method for Timpani by Saul Goodman is one of the quintessential timpani method books in history, providing detailed and in depth descriptions of technique and approach by Saul Goodman, one of the legendary father's of modern timpani playing.
Modern Method for Timpani is broken down into four sections: one that covers technique fundamentals, and then three sections of musical material. These final three sections include exercises for technique development on two drums, a section of exercises for three and four drum technique, and a final section that covers orchestral repertoire for timpani, providing sheet music from common excerpts.
This is and has been a great timpani method for years, helping generations of timpanists develop their own voice and technique.
