Depends on the percussion instrument. What kind?
Percussion instruments change pitch by altering the tension of the drumhead or striking area, affecting the vibration frequency when played. Other percussion instruments, like xylophones or tambourines, produce different pitches by varying the size or material of the striking surface. Some instruments, like timpani or hand drums, can also be tuned to specific pitches by adjusting the tension of the drumheads.
The two types of percussion instruments are pitched percussion and unpitched percussio n; pictch percussion produces a note and an audiable pitch, whereas unpitched percussion merely produces a note.
Percussion instruments such as timpani, xylophones, marimbas, vibraphones, bells, or chimes which have a definite pitch.

Percussion instruments are instruments that can be tuned or not but tuned instruments are tuned.
They are classed as percussion instruments.
A Drum or Drums, are part of the Percussion family :)
Instruments like timpani, marimba, vibraphone, and steel drums are examples of percussion instruments that can be tuned to specific pitches. These instruments can produce musical notes with varying frequencies by adjusting the tension or size of the material being struck.
