I like that expression-Tight as a drum!. actually it is the heads that are tightened and this does alter the pitch. Ludwig drums were/are available with three harmonics, that are controllable by expanding and contracting the tension on the drum heads- this was called machine drums. The harmonics are Tonic, Dominant, and sub-dominant. I understood Mr. Spector had use of this for his wall of sound with three drums tuned to the three harmonics- and also three singers belting things out! Ronnie, Nedra, and Estelle! those were the days- of the Ronettes.
What else can I help you with?
Does the size of a drum change the sound of the drum?
The bigger the diameter of the skin or head the lower the pitch. The smaller the head, the higher the pitch.
How do you change the sound of a bass drum?
You can tune a bass drum by turning.the knobs to the right to tighten or left to loosen on the rim of the drum. Loosen it for a lower pitch, tighten for higher pitch.
What sound does a a big bass drum make?
A bass drum creates a very low and deep sound. The bigger the bass drum, the lower and deeper the pitch.
Why are there so many drum types?
It all depends on how a drum is made, and what it is made of. For example, a small steel drum is going to be loud and high pitched, while a large drum made of a soft wood such as birch is going to be low pitched and will give off less volume.
Should you get a snare drum or drum set?
It depends on what you want. A snare drum produces higher and lower sounds, if that's all you want, and a drum set comes with a snare drum, and a base drum (lower sounds only), and another drum that has higher sounds only (sorry, i don't know the name). Also a drum set comes with cymbals.
What way can the properties of the sound of a drum be changed?
A drum's sound can be altered (changed) by tightening or slackening the tension on the skin.

How to tune a drum head for optimal sound quality?
To tune a drum head for optimal sound quality, start by tightening the tension rods evenly around the drum. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until the drum head is evenly stretched and produces a clear, resonant sound. Experiment with different tensions to find the best sound for your drum.
How to tune drum heads for optimal sound quality?

How can I improve the sound quality of my drum by tuning it effectively?
To improve the sound quality of your drum, you can tune it effectively by tightening or loosening the drumheads evenly and gradually. Use a drum key to adjust the tension of the drumheads until you achieve the desired pitch and tone. Experiment with different tensions to find the best sound for your drum.

How could you make the stretched skin on a drum give out a higher note?
Stretch it tighter - the higher the tension on a drum head, the higher a percussive note it will sound.

Can you explain how drum notes are produced and how they contribute to the overall sound of a drum performance?
Drum notes are produced when a drummer strikes the drumhead with a drumstick or mallet. The vibration of the drumhead creates sound waves that travel through the air, producing the distinctive tone of the drum. The pitch and tone of the drum notes can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the drumhead. In a drum performance, the combination of different drum notes creates rhythms and patterns that contribute to the overall sound and feel of the music.
Does the depth of a drum change its sound?
Yes, the depth of a drum significantly influences its sound. Deeper drums tend to produce a lower pitch and more resonant tone due to increased air volume inside the drum. Conversely, shallower drums typically generate higher pitches with a sharper attack. This variation in depth affects not only the pitch but also the overall sustain and tonal characteristics of the drum's sound.
