I really don't know. I think you have tO hit the drumskin with the drumstick to make it vibrate
You must hit it with something.
When a drum is hit, the skin (head) starts to vibrate and transfer acoustic (kinetic) energy to the surrounding air. That energy is the "noise" of the drum.
The drum head vibrates when the drummer strikes it with a stick or hand. The tighter the drum head, the higher the pitch.
The drumstick makes the skin vibrate. The vibration is transferred to the air in the drum interior. This amplifies the sound and you can hear it when it transfers the vibration through the air to your ear.
The drum head is struck causing a movement of air the shell amplifies the sound of the drum head developing into a sound wave, the vibrating sound is from the snare drum which has wires stretched across the lower head the sound wave makes the wires jump causing the crack or snap sound.
If you hit the resonant frequency, yes it will.

Make noise
When a drum is struck with a hand or a mallet, it causes the drum-skin to vibrate. This vibration creates a wave of vibrating air molecules. When this wave reaches your ear, it causes your tympanic membrane (commonly referred to as the ear drum) to vibrate. This vibration sends a nerve impulse to your brain which is registered as a sound.
The drum head(s). On a snare drum, the "snare" is a set of metal wires that strap onto the bottom head and vibrate against it as it vibrates in response to the striking of the top head, creating the characteristic snare drum sound.
