Dwight A. Thomas

Principal Timpani - Omaha Symphony

Welcome to the home page of Dwight Thomas, Principal Timpanist of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. The instrument you see above is a Light Mark XI American Dresden timpano, made by the American Drum Company in Denver, Colorado.

In addition to my position with the Omaha Symphony, I am a computer consultant (Macintosh only)

I also teach timpani/percussion, and Finale (a music notation program)

Here I am with another one of my friends...
