| Element | Description | |---|---| | | A double‑headed, hour‑glass drum made of jackfruit wood, with animal‑skin heads tuned to produce a deep, resonant “boom” on the bass side and a bright “tap” on the treble side. | | Melam | The collective term for a traditional percussion ensemble, usually comprising Urumi , Thavil , Thappu , Udukkai , Kombu , and sometimes Nadaswaram (wind) and Idakka (hour‑glass drum). | | Thanjavur Style | Characterised by a slower, more expansive tempo (often 60–80 bpm) compared to the fast‑paced “Karuppu Thiruvizha” beats of Madurai. The emphasis is on layered rhythmic cycles (adi, thriputa, chaturasra) that give singers ample space to articulate lyrics. |
