The timpani, also known as kettledrums, has its origins in ancient Asia, particularly in regions such as Persia and India, where similar drum types were used in military and ceremonial contexts. It later spread to Europe, becoming prominent in orchestral music during the Baroque period. The instrument is characterized by its large, rounded shape and ability to produce varying pitches by adjusting the tension of its drumhead. Today, timpani are a staple in classical orchestras and ensembles.
