Kettle Drums, or Timpani, are large drums that are named for their shape, which looks like a large copper kettle. A set of these drums would be more than one often in differing sizes. Kettle Drums are used in different musical applications such as: Bands, Orcestras, and Percussion ensambles. Kettle Drums are also one type of drum that can be tuned to a particular note for use during a song. A percussionist changes the note by maniplating a foot pettle which in turn tightens or loosens the head depending on the direction the percussionist need to go.
