What are the teapots for the drums?
Kétkoviny, also known as Timpani, are drums that consist of a skin or head stretched on a large bowl. The name of the "kettle" comes from the similarity of the drum bowl to a large copper kettle. The end drums can be tuned to sound specific notes and play head hit with a specialized drum rod known as Timpani Palička.
The end drum is an ancient drum tool. The largest one -time bronze drum in the world, the Moon Pejng, is assumed that it was made at about 300 ° C. Mesopotamian carving shows the teapots that are even older. The construction of modern Timpani comes from Arabic design, which was first imported to Europe during the 13th century. Game drums can be made of copper, bronze, wood, clay or even turtles. The drum head was traditionally made of animal skin. Modern teapots usually have a body made of copper, glass fibers or aluminum and a synthetic plastic head.
One of the most unique properties of the teapot is the ability to sound a specific note or playground. The sound of the drum can be adjusted by tightening or releasing the screws that connect the head of the drum to the body. The simplest and most common way to achieve this is to use the foot pedal. The pedal is connected to the tension screws and the drum pitch can be adjusted and fixed by locking the pedal.
Historically, in military campaigns, curse for drums to indicate time, intimidating opponents and signaling field commands in a similar way to military military calls. After being incorporated into the symphonic band and the symphony orchestras, the role of the teapot was even more diverse. The bubbles were used to emphasize musical themes, provide a bass foundation for the orchestra and even imitate the sound of thunder.
If you want to play a kettle, drum or time, he hits the drum with a pair of tympani sticks or sticks. These specialized drum sticks are ODDeer made of wood and have a rounded head covered with felt. The type of material at the tip of Timpani Mallet can have a great effect on the note, and the timpanist may be required to switch mallet in the middle of the song, depending on the style desired in the score. Placing the stroke of the drumstone on the head of the teapot can also have a great effect on the edge of the note.
