You bet ... depending on the type of timpani (aka kettle drum) and its note range, it can be up to three (3) times larger, and much much heavier.

It's the drum, or set of drums that are taller (usually) than the snare drum and have more of a pitch or defined note. The bass drum can even be considered a tom. It's just (usually) a lot bigger! One of my friends even used a floor tom as a bass drum on his jazz kit once.

When you hit your floor tom your snare drum rings how do you stop the ringing?
This has always been a pressing issue for drummers. Honestly, there really is no way to completely eliminate the buzz from your snares unless you turn them off all together. Whenever I do licks on just my tom-toms, bass drum, and cymbals (not using the snare at all) I always flip of the snares until I need them again. This is the best method. However, if you are moving between the snare and floor tom then I would suggest you get a close friend (preferably another percussionist) to stand several yards away (wherever the audience will be) and tell you if he can hear the snare's buzz. Most of the time the audience can't even recognize the snare buzz. What we hear over the drum set is WAY different than what the audience hears. If it is still an issue for you then, as a last resort, you can tighten the snares all together.
