Ed Littlefield's setup for the Seattle Children's Theatre production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Seattle, Washington.

"This show used mostly drum set and auxiliary percussion with some bell parts added for certain scenes. The Musical Director asked for a toy bells feel so I got the standard student model bell set and used hard brass mallets to get the sound he wanted.

The floor tom was only used for timpani like rolls and in 'Bombie Samba', so I tuned it low to sound like a Brazilian surdo. The auxiliary instruments were two LP Jam Blocks, cowbell, ratchet, and a triangle with The Miller Machine!"

"The main challenge that I found with this show was the very quick instrument and stick changes. Having a good pair of swizzle sticks is necessary to go from tambourine to timpani and sometimes rolls on the concert bass drum."

Back To The Future - Dave Roth

"The real impetus of this book is the timpani. It is definitely the driving force for the percussion inBack to the Future and it requires a big articulate sound and once again Yamaha with the Evans Orchestral White Opaque Heads just deliver."
