Comments:

These Baroque timpani are decent. They come with calfskin heads (currently). They must be hand tuned. The tension rods are quality and substantial, well machined and come lubed. The kettles and stands are good quality. They've included a fine tuner on each drum which is helpful because they are very reactive so far. My two qualms are that one drum had stray bits of lube on the rims and most importantly, I don't like the way the heads were mounted. The sweet spots, typically a long the "spine" if there is one we're not mounted in a way that made sense with the position of the fine tuners. Additionally, the tension rods are very uneven once the heads are cleared. For example one tension rod has almost no "play" left, so I wanted to bring the 26" up to an A for example, I might run out of room on only one tension rod.
