In this text, Peters provides a comprehensive and detailed method for timpani, including basic playing technique, stickings, tuning, ear training, muffling, and much more.
Each technique in Fundamental Method for Timpani is broken down in words, and followed by a large number of exercises and etudes that test the different techniques and help provide contextual application of what is learned. The book is organized into four main chapters that can be used concurrently: 'General Information', 'Basic Technique', 'Etudes for Two Timpani', and 'Etudes for Three and Four Timpani'.
