∙ 15y agoTimpani have a foot pedal you can use to tune it to different pitches (it tightens the drum head, i think) Bass drums can't be tuned like this and generally have a much lower tone (you can cut a hole in it to make the sustain shorter thhough).

∙ 12y agoTimpani (plural) are often called kettledrums. Usually made out of copper or fiberglass and are usually 23-32 inches in diameter. They are usually played with softer mallets and are bowl-shaped. Snare drums are smaller - usually 12-14 inches and are cylinder shaped. Snare drums have a springs or nylon strings that go across the bottom head to give the sound an extra snap or buzz when the top (batter) head is struck. Snare drums are often found on drumsets, in Marching Bands, etc. Timpani are usually reserved for more classical sounds such as symphonies, and wind ensembles, but can be used in the 'pit' of a marching band. Not very portable.
