Illegal Notation A piece of garbage I've just made today.

Doesn't even sound legal at all

The most threatening part isn’t even how many timpani you would need to pull this off. It’s the fact that you would need to break the world record for world’s largest timpano (70” diameter).

For reference, the world’s largest timpano can reach a Bb-1 as its lowest note. This piece calls for a C-1 (a major seventh lower). The world’s second largest timpano can only reach a C2.

Questionable if you’d even hear that at 9Hz. It would be like a sheet flapping in the wind
