[edit] "Timpani Roll" section

This section mentions French, German, and American grips for timpanies. Not only is this lacking a source, but I question its validity. From what I know, Timpani players use the "French" grip. The French, German, and American grip things come from actual drumset playing, and to the extent of my limited knowledge, are not all used in Timpany playing. These are also not even correct descriptions. French is thumbs up, German is thumbs to the side, American is in between. None are more "agressive" than the others. Would someone like to look into these things? I think I am right, but I am not sure. I also do not have sources. --Cabazon 01:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Bass Drum Roll"

Is it possible to call the heel-toe method with double bass drum a roll too? I don't know if I can add it so would someone answer this before I put a lot of effort in a paragraph and itis being deleted. --Sikory
