Timpani (/ˈtɪmpəni/; Italian pronunciation: [ˈtimpani]) or kettledrums (also informally called timps) are musical instruments in the percussion family. A type of drum categorised as a hemispherical drum, they consist of a membrane called a head stretched over a large bowl traditionally made of copper.

However, the microscope has some limitations and may cause complications such as damage to the chorda tympani nerve.

Timpani, or kettle drums, are a special type of drum used in an orchestra. These drums are tuned. By adjusting the tension of the membrane stretched across the head of the drum, different notes can be produced. In orchestras they are often used in pairs, with each drum tuned to a different pitch.

middle ear The tympanic membrane is also called the eardrum. It separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When sound waves reach the tympanic membrane they cause it to vibrate. The vibrations are then transferred to the tiny bones in the middle ear.

timpani, (Italian: “drums”) also spelled tympani, orchestral kettledrums. The name has been applied to large kettledrums since at least the 17th century.

Because. That's a very dud dead sounding. Sound that you don't want to tip if you want to be ringing. And resonating you want from the rim. You won't play about three inches from the rim.

At the beginning of the 16th century kettledrums in German-speaking countries began to be equipped with screws to tension the vellum, which was stretched over a hoop. The term timpani and the French word timbales are derived from the Greek word tympanon (Latin: tympanum) which referred to a drum with a skin.

Tympani are large, deeply resonant drums. When you go to the symphony, you'll most likely hear tympani being played. Tympani, which are also known as timpani, timps, or kettledrums, are made of drum heads stretched across big metal bowls.

Timpani are a central part of the percussion family because they support rhythm, melody and harmony. Most orchestras have four timpani of different sizes and tuned to different pitches and they are usually played by one musician, who hits the drumheads with felt-tipped mallets or wooden sticks.

Tympany or tympanites (sometimes tympanism or tympania), also known as meteorism (especially in humans), is a medical condition in which excess gas accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract and causes abdominal distension. The term is from the Greek τύμπανο (meaning "drum"); it should not be confused with tympanitis.
