Yes, you can place the bottom head of a drum on the top, but it may not function properly. The drum is designed for the heads to be positioned in a specific manner, with the top head typically having a different thickness or tension to produce the desired sound. Reversing them could affect the drum's tone and playability. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal performance.

What is the name of the bottom head of a drum?

well it depends on what kind of drum you are talking about. if you are talking about a snare, the bottom head shuts off all the ringing sound and adds a surface for the springs to "buzz" up against. without it it will sound like a tom.
