Yes, a kettle drum, also known as a timpani, has a definite pitch. The pitch can be adjusted by altering the tension of the drumhead, which is typically done using tuning pedals. This allows the performer to play specific notes, making the kettle drum a unique percussion instrument that can contribute harmonically to musical compositions.
