No, they are not. Timpani are tuned drums, but snare drums cannot be tuned. They are also made of different metals and have different shapes to the bottom of the instrument. And then there's the snares - timpani don't have them.
Timpani, snare, and bass drum. A set of timpani will have 2-5 drums.
They're both DRUMS :) ROFLOL xD bibi
it is the snare drum, the bass drum and the bass bum :)

There are many percussion instruments that can be used in the symphony orchestra, but the most common are timpani, bass drum and cymbals, also the triangle.

The drumset? No not typically. Snare Drum, Timpani and Bass Drum on their lonesome? Probably.

Quite a few actually: Timpani (Kettle Drums), Toms, Marching Bass Drums, Tenor drums (quints, quads, scottish tenor,etc.), Even snare drums can be pitched.

snare drum
The short answer is a snare drum. But snare drums really do need to be tuned - they just aren't tuned to a specific note like a xylophone or timpani (unless you are a hard-core tuner, then you could). Snare drums are on every drumset, in every marching band, and found in most concert band repertoire.
Most membranophones are drums. Examples of membranophones include Kettle Drums, Tubular Drums, Mirlitons, Friction Drums, and Kazoos. Other examples are vessel drums, frame drums, cylindrical drums, barrel drums, and conical drums.
For the most part if they have keys like the piano or bells then yes. Timpani are also tuned to certain notes before they are played. Drums though, like snare and bass, do not play different pitches.
