The timpani rolls weren't looped, which limited their usefulness. I looped them so you can hold them as long as you want, and they end with a clean hit when you release the note.
There were separate left hand and right hand hits, which didn't make a lot of sense since they sounded the same. I combined them into a single set of hits, using the left and right hand samples as round robins.
I adjusted the tuning. Some of the samples were very far out of tune.
I crossfaded the layers to give a smoother transition.
