“Your book is very interesting for everyone, even for older timpanists who already have orchestral playing experience. It is especially interesting, though, for younger players who do not yet have very much experience and are still taking auditions. I think that this book gives many answers and ideas about how to handle difficult bars of pieces. The CD helps very much, too, to be able to listen to how the excerpts should sound. I want to recommend this book to every timpanist, both students and professionals.”
