This is a question for the Timpanists: is there a way to have a note ( beat in your case) sound dry without the "booooiiiing" after sound? I noticed that even if our timpanist ( school orchestra) stops the sound with his hand, the "oooiing" descending sound is still there... any ideas ?

Hi @Urlicht88,

I am no timpanist myself, but will the mufflers for the timpanist minimize the oooling sound?

P.S. I love your name so much! Urlicht as in Mahler the Second! Also you should change the topic name as well since your title does not indicate the question you ask!
