75 Tuning Etudes for the Accomplished Timpanist

75 Etudes for the Accomplished Timpanist was written for the timpanist to focus primarily on tuning and glisses in a thorough way. I spent a tremendous amount of time during my developmental years working out of the Friese/Lepak timpani tuning book. The book is exceptional! Throughout my education and career I always wanted more of these types of etudes to practice on this particular skill. Now we have it!

Enjoy 75 Etudes! - and remember, as my teacher, the great Cloyd Duff used to say to me often, "It is not a sin to play out of tune, but it is a sin to stay out of tune." - Tim Adams

This is a "must-have" text book for every serious timpani student, performer or instructor. Mr. Adams has composed a complete assortment of practice-performance etudes that can challenge and develop further even the most professional player. The spiral bound book sets perfectly on the music stand, allowing the performer to read Performance Notes on the left hand page, accompanying the respective etude on the right hand page. The book is divided into four specific sections: 40 2-Drum Etudes, 20 3-Drum Etudes, 5 4-Drum Etudes and 10 Glissandi Etudes.
