Also provided is a film material or membrane for constituting a drumming surface, which extends flat across the area defined within the circumferential inner rim and the circumferential outer rim. Integrally formed with the film material or membrane of the drumming surface is an annular shoulder, which extends at its base between the planar upper and lower members in a co-planar orientation with the annular hoop. The drumhead is adaptable for use with a large variety of percussion instruments including toms, snare drums, bass drums, tambourines, congas, bongos and many other types of ethnic and other drums.
