Hello @kraka,

Welcome to the forum!

I am not particular good at percussion nor percussion writing myself. But I have some questions to ask:

You have two timpanis, but are you sure the tone of the timapnis can changes quick enough for those note change?

I don't think one player can play this. Unless he plays the tambourine with his feet? I don't know.

What is for sure that i know , is that there is only one player for the Percussions. I do not know how many tympani he will use. I think he can use three or maybe four. I must ask, but lets assume that he will use four. I really do not know that the tone of the tympani can changes quick enough for those note changes, and that is exactly why i asked. For somebody who plays the timpani in a symphonic orchestra to tell me, before i rearrange it.

As for the , Tympani and Tambourine playing simultaneously, i also had the same thinking, to play the Tambourine with his feet, but i am not sure.

Does somebody know ?

It's certainly possible to play a cymbal with the feet since the suspended cymbal in a drumset is often set up to crash two cymbals together with a foot pedal.  But with a tambourine roll like you have indicated in your score, it is usually necessary to slide your thumb against the drumhead producing a rolling sound.
