Dhol skin is typically made from animal hide, most commonly goat skin or buffalo skin.
The hide is carefully prepared through a process of tanning and stretching to create a durable and resonant surface.
The specific type of animal hide used can influence the dhol's sound, with goat skin often producing a higher pitch and buffalo skin a deeper, resonant tone.
The quality of the skin and the skill of the craftsman play a significant role in the dhol's overall sound and longevity.
