My name is Boon-Kah Lim, a freelance Malaysian percussionist and timpanist with the professional orchestras of Malaysia and Los Angeles. 欢迎你来，请问你是如何成为专业敲击手的？中学时有受过什麽训练吗？
The pedal is at the base of the drum.A good timpanist can tune the drums very quietly and quickly.However, it is necessary to practice a lot. 踏板在鼓的下方，一个好的定音鼓手可以以非常安静和快速的方式把鼓的音调好，这是需要花很多时间去练习的。
Think of the transfixingly strange Scherzo of the Fifth Symphony, when the music effectively stops moving and the timpanist drums lightly on the note C like a finger tapping on a pane. 想想第五交响曲的谐谑曲中奇怪终止的地方，当音乐突然停止时，定音鼓手轻轻的敲出C音，就像用手指轻敲方格一样。
