It has been said that the first recorded use of early Tympanum, was in "ancient times when it is known that they were used in religious ceremonies by Hebrews." In 1188, Cambro-Norman chronicler Gerald of Wales wrote, "Ireland uses and delights in two instruments only, the harp namely, and the tympanum." Arabic nakers, the direct ancestors of most timpani, were brought to 13th century Continental Europe by Crusaders and Saracens. These drums, which were small (with a diameter of about 20-22 cm or 8-8½ in) and mounted to the player's belt, were used primarily for military ceremonies. This form of timpani remained in use until the 16th century.
The oldest extant timpani-style drum is the Moon of Pejeng, an enormous cast-bronze drum in a Balinese temple, dating from 300 BC. There are written accounts of "tympanum" used in Jewish ceremonies, and also in Ireland (a 12th century Welsh chronicler asserted the Irish only used two instruments: the harp and the tympanum). Additional drums of this shape and style include the Arabic naker of the 13th century, used in military ceremonies, and much larger tympanum mounted on horseback and used in signalling. It was not until the 15th century that tuning screws allowed timpani to be tuned to a definite pitch, which increased their use in musical ensembles.
