Besides the obvious, size directly effects tuning range, timber and tone.

Every drum has an optimal range of notes that can be played in a desirable timbre.

Larger size drums are very good at producing lower notes and smaller drums higher. The more mass an item has, the lower it's capable resonance, the smaller, the higher. this does not mean you cannot tune a large drum higher but tuning a smaller drum lower, can be impossible after it's range of notes is passed.

What is the difference between a drum kit and a drum machine?

the difference between a drum kit and a drum machine is that a drum kit you perform naturally with your hands using sticks to change the pitch on whether it is high or low, and a drum machine is like a little electronic board where all you have to do is choose which percussion instrument you want and edit the way the rhythm sounds. personally i prefer the drum machine, much easier ;)a drum kit is an instrument that you can play. a drum machine is a computer that generates a drum track. drum machines are commonly used in techno and hip-hop.
