10 Greatest Timpanists of all time?

[s***@gmail.com]

Who, in your opinion are the greatest timp players of all time? For the
purpose of this question, I am confining elegibility to only those players who
made their mark as the Timpanist of a MAJOR World Orchestra performing the
"standard" Classical Works!! What about players still performing? Salvitore
Rabbio MUST be on this list, I am sure!!

Vic Firth is up there

Surly someone must mention the tympanist for all 17 years of the NBC's existence under Toscanini, KARL GLASSMAN.

I would put in for Timothy Adams, current Timpanist for the
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Percussion head at Carnegie
Mellon University...
Saw him perform with Evelyn Glennie and the PSO...
fantastic!

Hmmm... what about William Street with the RPO? Or Karl Glassman of the
Toscanini NBC Orchestra?
And let's not forget all my teachers that I have studied with! :)

While I'm at it has anyone ever heard or played David Morby Timpani
Sticks?

Matt My friend timpanist w/ Milwaukee Ballet highly suggests Morby Mallets- about the only ones he uses. expensive but well worth it.
