Do you have to be good at tuning to play a timpani? I'm playing it for the first time in our fall show and I'm a little nervous.

No Not Really Cause When I was in my first concert playing the Timpani..I was pretty bad at it.. Thats Why We have the Tuba.. To kinda Blur the Sound of the Timpani XD ...But just do your best...

well first time i played timpani i only had Eb and Bb and had like 32 measures of rest at a tempo of 56 before i played a Bb roll for a whole measure then hit Eb once and waited 2 more measures to play. But for pit this year i got assigned to timpani and played a High F Eb and Bb but got switched to marimba so i would say you don't have to tune well just tune up before the song
