Definitely. The greatest song for timpani is this one: Also sprach Zarathustra opening movement. I used to play in a little orchestra here and we did that one in one of our conerts. I felt fucking awesome doing the solo on stage.

Oh yeah, Carmina Burana is absolutely great. Best thing I ever got to play was a piece called "Odyssey for percussion", basically a solo piece for 4 drummers with a bit of trombones around it. Jesus Christ, I fucked that up about a million times during the rehersals, because all four drummers play in different measurements. But it was worth the hard work, it was just pure awesomeness.I played in the school band, and we did Carmina Burana... it was sooo much fun to play timpani for that one.
microwave was making these weird whistling noises...
I kept watching to make sure it didn't explode.
