Help finding a drum sound

Hey everyone,
I've been going through my library, and I'm having some difficulty reproducing the drum in 'Steiner's Theme'. (

I looked in percussion, drum, toms, and even snares, all with the use of a drum compressor, but nothing sounded similar.
Does anyone know how I could go about reproducing this sound?
Thanks.

Thank you so much!
It certainly helps when you know what instruments are actually called, hahaha.

I just got home and checked my Ableton instruments, and I do not have a timpani/kettle drum.
How would I go about getting one, and adding it to my Ableton instrument library?

I see that there's a pack on Ableton for 130$ which contains a timpani drum, but that's a lot of money.
Are there any free packs I can use which have this instrument?

Use Google.
Type in 'timpani sample' (or 'kettledrum sample').

I you have Suite I believe there is a Timpani in there. Or if you have Kontakt from NI Komplete (6/7/8) else as has been suggested search the web *or* look for an orchestral soundfont as one may contain one and you should be able to load that into Sampler if I recall? Or use a SFZ Player.
