Priceless video! I'm proud to have been there that day!

[@AldoCugnini]

Terrific, even though I speak neither Dutch nor Russian. It would be great if someone added English subtitles.

[@Adair9800]

Greatly appreciate this video. I have always enjoyed great performances by a timpanist, if that is the correct term.

Would be great if you put English subtitles

Does anyone know what those black mallets he is using are? What brand?

[@brianchen2751]

I think that’s the mallet made by Nick Woud.

[@panplayer]

Anyone know what book he’s playing out of at about the 38 minute mark?

[@Rolitimp]

It is a book what was made especially for the Masterclass

Who play Timpadiddle on snare drum 🥁 here th-cam.com/users/shortsQKPiMTnoFCQ?feature=share

[@richardwilliams473]

It looks like this timpanist is using the French Grip technique?

[@Rolitimp]

He is using the traditional Amsterdam-Dutch technique

[@golfprochen]

Instead of being hit, the sound is supposed to be pulled out of the instrument by the mallet. And on-beat is everything.
