What is the drum head called?

The drum head is also known as the drum skin or drumhead. It is a crucial component of a drum that generates sound when struck by a drumstick or beater. The drum head is typically made of various materials, such as animal skin (calfskin, goatskin), plastic (polyester, Mylar), or synthetic materials like Kevlar or carbon fiber. The choice of material affects the drum's sound characteristics, such as tone, pitch, and sustain. Drumheads are available in different thicknesses and sizes to accommodate different drumming styles and musical genres.
