That was the haitian contribution to cuban music. When the revolt happened in Haiti back
in the day they got the heck out of dodge and some landed in Cuba bringing with them
the french contradance which later evolved into danzon, also tumba francesa has it's haitian
connection etc. Cuba has the danzon and P.R. has danza, all branches from the same tree.

I have heard of him before, he taught some great ones. Is a shame that
there is no a lot of information about him.

I think timpani drums come from classical orchestras.

.....also you can say that so does brass, wind and other instruments. Sometimes is not so much where the instrument comes from but the context is use on. Here you go so you can make the connection and see what I am talking about:

Your data is correct, although the last 2 videos are from mexican music (jarana yucateca) and the first video shows a mexican danzonera; those timbales were made for classical orchestras.
