The timpani are large drums that are tuned using a foot pedal. When you press down on the pedal the pitch of the timpani rises, and when you release the pedal the pitch falls. The timpani are played usually with soft sticks, or mallets, but sometimes the player is directed to play with wooden mallets or even maracas (shakers)! Timpani are made with a copper or fibreglass shell and a plastic head (drum skin). Just an FYI, timpani is an Italian word, making the singular timpano, and the plural timpani.
