  Tamil folk drums have a rich variety of patterns suited to different occasions like marriage, festival etc.
  
  Thappu - 'Parai' group instrument.
  Parai represent a group of folk rhythm instruments. Thappu is an important percussion instrument belonging to Parai group
  
  Thappu is a circular drum with one end closed with cow skin membrane and the other end open. It is played with 2 hand sticks made of 'Echa' wood.

  I started a topic on the "Thappu" drum, I love hearing it, along with pirai, udukku, thavil, and chenda, the most popular drums of Kerala, especially thappu, I hear it when Puli aatam is performed, and other folk dances...

  Parai instruments, are absolutely the BEST in any kind of dance or music for Tamil Nadu, and Kerala..

  Hello people,
  
  I am looking for audio recordings of the tapphu music of Tamil Nadhu. Do any such recordings exist? I play the instrument myself, but am looking for more study material. The mp3 files on www.southindianmusic.net don't work. If anyone knows about cd's with Kerala tapphu music, I would also like to get to now this variety.
  
  Thanks.
