What is the texture of a drum?

The texture of a drum depends on the material used to make the drumhead. Common materials used for drumheads include animal skin, synthetic materials like Mylar, and metal. Each material produces a different sound and texture. Animal skin drumheads have a warm, natural sound and a slightly rough texture, while synthetic heads have a brighter, more consistent sound and a smoother texture. Metal drumheads produce a loud, cutting sound and have a very smooth texture.
