Best Answer

From top to bottom:

The heads: Modern heads are usually made from plastic. Marching drum heads can be made from Kevlar, but heads on drums played indoors are polyester. Older drums had heads made of calfskin, and you can still get skin heads.

Head hoops and tuning lugs: Metal, usually. Some hoops are wood, and some drums are "rope tuned"--a rope holds the hoops on, and you tune the drum by adjusting the rope's tension.

Shells: Normally wood. Some snares are metal. There are also plexiglass drum shells, like the Ludwig Vistalite. The two most popular woods are maple and birch.

Snare strainers on snare drums: Either wire or catgut.

Miscellaneous: Drum Workshop sells a special pillow to put in a bass drum to change its sound; it's just a regular pillow.

well in the late 20's they were made out of human skulls, but as time has gone on they are now made out of wood, metal and plastic which we collect from Africa and India as they have the best materials for a drum kit.
