drumhead

/ˈdɹəmˌhɛd/ noun

Alternative spelling of drum head.

Word Origin Literally the 'head' of a drum — the stretched membrane that you strike. The word 'drum' likely comes from a Germanic word imitating the sound, and 'head' from Proto-Germanic 'haubudą' (head). The same 'head' appears in 'eardrum' (the membrane in your ear) and 'forehead'. A vivid compound: you can almost see the drum's surface as its 'head'.
