This DVD combines interactive, multi-angle video performance of the set of eight pieces with an in-depth voice-over performing artist's commentary as well as PDF articles about the works by percussion scholars.

These unique timpani mutes were originally designed for "March" from Elliott Carter's Eight Pieces for Four Timpani. They attach to the counter-hoop of the timpani and are quickly, easily, and quietly flipped up or down with the timpani mallet. The mutes' sizes are proportional to a standard set of four timpani. If you are purchasing the set of two, you will get the two middle sizes. Click on the animation to see the mutes in action.
