Overview
Firth, Vic. The Solo Timpanist. New York, New York: Carl Fischer, 1963.
Firth wrote these studies to further develop advanced techniques. All of the etudes work on problems related to some of the most difficult classical and modern repertoire. There are etudes for six timpani, piano-staccato for the lower register, changing meters, glissandi up and down, odd rhythmic groupings, and difficult solfege problems. Each etude has a paragraph of very specific instructions about how to play the piece and what to pay attention to.
