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. :)
