It all depends on how a drum is made, and what it is made of. For example, a small steel drum is going to be loud and high pitched, while a large drum made of a soft wood such as birch is going to be low pitched and will give off less volume.

The reason is sound's type of drum creates a different type of sound. Some make a higher sound and some make a lower sound. If there weren't as many sounds the drums would sound pretty boring.
