I need to combine the sentences with the describing information after the word timpain
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Timpani, the large drums featured in orchestras, originated more than 2000 years ago in ancient empires.

Explanation:

This is one way to add the description after the noun. It's called an "appositive phrase"  Timpani=drums So there are two nouns in a row that refer to the same thing.

Another way:

Timpani, which are large drums featured in orchestras, originated more than 2000 years ago in ancient empires.

That's a relative clause. It substitutes the relative pronoun, 'which' for timpani, and keeps the verb, 'are.'
