Never trust the living
I'm on it like Bluebonnet.If you get a chance, would one of you mind sharing a sample?

You rock Mike! Maybe I'll check out Ark 3 timpani when OT starts doing a la carte sales.Alright, so 4 (technically 3) timpanis for comparison sake:
I'm still using True Strike 1 timpani. It's eq'd half to death and features some extra RR (neighbor borrowing) since it only has 2X RR, but it has held up well enough over the years. If I wanted another/new timpani, the first options that come to mind are Ftsamples, Modwheel, Orchestral Tools, and maybe Spitfire. Lots of options these days.What about True Strike's Timpani and Spitifre Percussion's Timpani ?
Orchestral Tool's Timpani sounds great

I don't see any love for VSL here, and they tend to be some of my favorite libraries. I don't have much experience with their timps, what do others think?
I have the Synchron Timpani. They sound very clean. Lots of smack, but less splash, if that makes sense. It's a firm, focused, pristine sound with clear tonality that will never muddy the mix, which is great. Quite versatile too.
Was going to suggest Berlin. Unfortunately, I don't have it to tell you any more. @The Darris says good things about it (the whole perc set actually).No offense to the other developers but these comparisons are really driving home how high-quality the timp is in HZ01.
Out of all the options mentioned so far, I think I like the Berlin Series Timp (aka "Expansion A") the best. I still have a 50 EUR voucher from BOI1 so it would be just 75 EUR.
