AR-15 
 Unlike pressurizing a piston cylinder in the bolt carrier, the gas of the direct impingement system simply passes into a shallow depression in the bolt carrier and actually blows the carrier to the rear.
AR-15 
 Barrels of current commercial variants of the AR-15 are produced in chromed, un-chromed, and stainless steel barrels with little extraction difficulty in the more moderate climate in the US.
AR-15 
 Even the earliest AR-15 and M16 internal piston systems were chromed plated and the rifles performed well if properly lubricated and cleaned.
AR-15 
 Nonetheless some rifle manufacturers have accused the internal piston system of inferiority and modified the rifles to an external piston system and driving rod pushing the carrier.
AR-15 
 Extreme test firing (2000 rounds with no cleaning or lubing and no malfunctions) confirmed findings that simple lubrication keeps the rifles functioning for extreme periods, but all manufacturers recommend more frequent cleaning.
Timpani 
 Timpani (sometimes called kettle drums) are drums that are made out of large bowls that are usually made of copper shaped by craftsmen, which after being tuned, have a skin-like material stretched over the top.
Timpani 
 This material used to be a type of vellum or treated skin, but modern drums use a synthetic material.
Timpani 
 A timpanist will often describe the drum as being "in voice" (or out of voice, as the case may be) when it is correctly tuned.
Timpani 
 Other drums that are used in orchestras and bands make a sound rather than a note, and are not tuned.
Timpani 
 A player normally sits with a group of two, three or four timpani around him, which is why the name timpani is in the plural.
Timpani 
 They can still be seen in the bands of the modern official as in the Household Cavalry of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, in which the "kettle drums" (as they are called) are carried by large  drumhorses.(See picture below) In the 1700s timpani became popular in orchestral music, and can be heard in the music of Handel, Beethoven and other 19th century composers wrote music that needed the timpani.
Timpani 
 Nowadays all large orchestras have timpani, and some bands that play popular music use them as well.
Timpani 
 Because plastic heads are hard to break and do not cost as much as animal skin heads, they are used more often than animal skin heads.
Timpani 
 However, a lot of professional players prefer skin heads because they think that skin heads make a better sound when they are hit.
Timpani 
 The drumhead is stretched over the bowl of the timpani and held on by screws for tuning the timpani.
Timpani 
 The timpani makes a higher sound if the tension rods are made tighter, and a lower sound if they are loosened.
Timpani 
 Tuning a timpani by turning every tension rod by itself can be very hard, so some timpani makers invented different ways to change the drum's pitch more quickly.
Timpani 
 This chain is hooked up to a lever, and when a player moves the lever back and forth, it tightens and loosens all the screws at the same time to change the pitch of the drum.
Timpani 
 A player can push on the pedal to make the timpani play higher notes, or let the pedal come back up to play lower notes.
Timpani 
 Once the pedal is in the spot where the player wants it, they must push the clutch forward with their foot again to lock it in place.
Timpani 
 A balanced action system uses a spring that is attached to the pedal, which keeps the pedal in one spot until it is moved by a player.
Timpani 
 Since the pedal is not held in one spot by a clutch in a balanced action system, some people call it a floating pedal because it looks like the pedal is not held on by anything and is floating.
Timpani 
 In a friction clutch system, the pedal is held in one spot by a clutch, and the clutch is attached to a pole.
Timpani 
 The head is the part of the mallet that is shaped like a circle, and is the part that hits the timpani, and the shaft is the wooden part of the mallet that is held by a timpanist.
Timpani 
 A timpani mallet's head can be made out of many things, but is usually made out of a wood sphere that is covered with felt or a thin cloth.
Timpani 
 The shaft of the mallet is usually made out of wood, like hickory, cherry, or bamboo, but can also be made out of metal, like aluminum.
Timpani 
 In the beginning of the 20th century, some mallets had shafts made out of whale bones and heads made out of sponges.
Timpani 
 For example, Alexander Rahbari, an outstanding Iranian-Austrian composer used glissando effect produced by switching timpani pedals in the opening of his piece, Persian Mysticism Around G, where the player moves from Bb up to C and then rolling down to G(see the timpani part on right below).
