In ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, the ‘the sagging skins of the dilapidated drum’ refers to the poor and worn out condition of the drum being played by the grandmother.

It refers to the old and broken drum and this has been used as a simile to the weathered condition of the grandmother who was once young but is now old and haggard.
