Musical example: parts for six timpanists arranged for four timpanists and one percussionist. Part II, figure 417

Brian specifies parts for six timpanists that require around 21 drums. This can practically be minimised to four timpanists and 14 drums, borrowing one percussionist from the battery. Arrangement from Part II of the Gothic, figure 417.
