It has to do with the tightness with which the head is stretched over the shell. The tighter the drum head, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. If the drum has a head on the top and bottom of the shell, the pitch is more controlled from the top head whereas resonance is more effected by the bottom head.

What would a drummer to make the sound of a drum give a note of lower pitch?
It depends largely on how it is tuned. A large drum will generally produce a lower sound, but this is because they are usually tuned to produce that pitch because smaller drum heads do not have enough surface area to create that low a pitch without becoming floppy. Likewise, a large drum head such as a floor tom can produce a higher pitch, but not as high as a very small drum like a piccolo snare.
What is difference between loundess and pitch?

The volume merely depends on how hard the key is hit. It is possible to have loud or quiet notes of any pitch. On a guitar, the higher the fret the higher the note, while volume depends on the force of the strumming. For drums, the pitch would depend on the size of the drum; the larger the drum, the lower the pitch. Volume would depend on how hard the drum is hit.
