The above answer seems to be correct, but only in theory. The snare drum does and must have a pitch. They need to be tuned up and kept at the right pitch as they become broken in. In these cases we are not concerned with how tight the drum is, but how even is the tension. Once the drum is evenly tensioned it can be brought up to pitch. Using the Key, gradually tighten the tension rods until the pitch of Ab - B is achieved for a 5 inch drum. Use a piano to verify. Once to pitch, turn the drum over and repeat the process for the bottom head. Tighten until the bottom head reaches a perfect fourth to a perfect fifth higher than the top head. This can be difficult, no distractions allowed.. Turn on the snare strainer and reajust the tension if necessary.
No, snare drums do not have a pitch, as like all drums, the snare, when hit, produces a multitude of different frequencies, and as certain notes have certain distinguishable frequencies, you cannot tune it to be a certain note.

To change the pitch of drums, you can either retune the drumheads by tightening or loosening them using a drum key, or use electronic drum modules to adjust the pitch digitally. To change the volume or loudness of the drums, you can adjust the force of your drum strikes or use drum dampening products like moon gels or drum rings. Additionally, adjusting the mixing levels of the drums in a live or recorded setting can also affect their perceived loudness.
you can tune the front and back of the bass or you can put "O" rings on the heads of it.
