a Timpani
Normally hitting the drum closer to the edge would make the note lower, it can make it quieter. Sometimes a drum can have a "sweet spot" as it is called this is where when struck gives the best tone.
It will make a noise. The pitch will depend on the type of drum.
It depends largely on how it is tuned. A large drum will generally produce a lower sound, but this is because they are usually tuned to produce that pitch because smaller drum heads do not have enough surface area to create that low a pitch without becoming floppy. Likewise, a large drum head such as a floor tom can produce a higher pitch, but not as high as a very small drum like a piccolo snare.
When you tighten the skin of the drum the sound will go higher
A bass drum creates a very low and deep sound. The bigger the bass drum, the lower and deeper the pitch.
He would increase its surface area.

Snare drums are not pitched instruments, and so the pitch of their sound cannot be measured, even though a smaller instrument will make a sound with higher pitches than a larger one.

How could you make sounds of diffrent pitch and loudessn with the two drums
Replace the drumhead with a different one, or put more tension on it.
A bass drum creates a very low and deep sound. The bigger the bass drum, the lower and deeper the pitch.
the amount of pressure that is stretching on the skin of the drums
You tighten or loosen the head, the drum's membrane, (very carefully). A tighter head will give a higher pitch. To avoid shearing stress on the head, you want to make sure that tension is as evenly distributed across the head as possible.
To make the pitch higher, That's not even possible except the highest notes are B and A without the back hole.
