Old drums have firm sides, I have no idea what "lac'd about" means, but the head is taught skin "traditionally" as in a percussion instrument "drum head"

My sides are firmly lac'd about,
Yet nothing is within;

Being nothing else but skin. What am I?

You'll think my head is strange indeed,
Being nothing else but skin.
