Four: D, A, C and G. Only two drums (26" and 29") are needed though. The only chorus part that has pitch changes is: "For unto us." That starts in D and A, then they are changed to C and G, finally the C is changed back to D. "Glory to God" (depending on the edition) has Timpani in D/A. Of course, "Hallelujah" is in D/A. :)

How many notes do drums have?

different notes are simply the heads being pulled tighter or loosened. If you want music theory, if the song you are playing is a very minor song, you tune the drum to the note that will sound minor at that time or major. A timpani is the main drum for that purpose, because it can be tuned a little easier. It could also mean the drummer liked the way it sounded and doesn't mean anything beyond that. You can't over think these things.
