My timpani plays a rhythmic song,
With hammer on anvil I play along.
Down my canal no ship sets course,
And I have a stirrup that fits no horse.

What am I?

It's the ear...the timpani is the eardrum.
The "hammer", "anvil" and "stirrup" are the three bones of the middle ear, and the "canal" is the Eustuchian canal connected to the bones.
