Timila

Timila

Timila is an hour-glass drum from Kerala, South India. It is made of polished "jackwood", and the drumheads made of calf hide are held together by leather braces which are also twined round the waist of the drum. This mechanism helps in adjusting the tension and controlling the sound, mainly two: 'tha' and 'thom'.Fact|date=August 2007

A Panchavadyam performance is begun with Timila Pattu and ends with the Timila Idachal thus making timila a very important component of the traditional Kerala percussion ensemble.Fact|date=August 2007
