When purchasing sets, we tend to find a 2 timp set-up is usually the 26″ and 29″ … 3 timp set-up is usually the 23″, 26″ and 29″ [known as ‘the orchestral three’] … 4 timp set-up is usually the 23″, 26″, 29″ and 32″ … and 5 timp set-up is usually the 20″ 23″, 26″, 29″ and 32″. Smooth Copper is traditionally the choice of timpanists because of its rich tone. Hammered Copper generally gives a warmer dark tone and improves resonance and sustain over smooth copper. Fibreglass has a narrower pitch response and shorter sustain but it is normally both lighter in weight than copper and cheaper to manufacture making it popular in education.
