The '''Patayani thappu''' is an Indian [[frame drum]] with a wooden frame. It is played with the hands. Thappu is used in the ritual art of [[Kerala]] known as [[Padayani]], in which the drum accompanies stylized dance movements and provides percussive music in a rhythmic ensemble. Some of the rhythmic patterns performed are ''Champa'', ''Kaarika'', ''Kumba'', ''Adantha'' and ''Marma''. In [[Devotional song|devotional music]] it is usually accompanied by traditional cymbals called [[elathalam]]. Different rhythmic ensembles can be produced by blending thappu with [[chenda]] drum.<br />
