Yes, drums do not have a specific pitch like other Musical Instruments such as Guitars or pianos. They produce a sound based on the size and material of the drum, but it is not a distinct pitch like a specific note on a musical scale.
For optimal sound quality, tune drums to a pitch that is consistent across all drumheads and resonates well with the overall tone of the drum set. Experiment with different tensions on the drumheads to find the best sound for each drum.
The untuned percussion family consists of instruments that do not produce a definite pitch when played. This includes a variety of instruments such as drums (e.g., snare drums, bass drums), tambourines, cymbals, maracas, and claves. These instruments primarily create rhythm and texture in music rather than melody. They are often used in various musical genres, including orchestral, folk, and popular music.
Electronic drums are generally quieter than acoustic drums because they produce sound through speakers or headphones, rather than through physical vibrations like acoustic drums.
Electronic drums are generally quieter than acoustic drums because they produce sound through speakers or headphones, whereas acoustic drums produce sound through vibrations in the air.
To achieve the best sound quality from your drum set by properly tuning your tom drums, start by ensuring the drumheads are in good condition. Then, tune each drumhead evenly and gradually, using a drum key to adjust the tension of the lugs in small increments. Experiment with different tensions to find the desired pitch and tone for each drum. Finally, use a drum tuner or your ear to fine-tune the drums to achieve a balanced and harmonious sound across all tom drums.
All drums can change pitch, but you're most likely thinking of Timpani, or Kettle Drums.
All drums have a pitch, and are therefore able to play melodies.

You need to be clearer with whuch type of drum. Drums originated in native america, when the stretched animal hide over wooden hollows, which they could tighten to produce a differet pitch. They were called 'talking drums' as they were able to change the pitch to make them sound as if they were actually talking.
To change the pitch of drums, you can either retune the drumheads by tightening or loosening them using a drum key, or use electronic drum modules to adjust the pitch digitally. To change the volume or loudness of the drums, you can adjust the force of your drum strikes or use drum dampening products like moon gels or drum rings. Additionally, adjusting the mixing levels of the drums in a live or recorded setting can also affect their perceived loudness.
Drums are almost always lumped into the "general percussion" category. In reality, however, all drums can be tuned to a specific pitch if desired. For example, most orchestral percussionists tune their snare drums to an A or B Flat.
Because the pitch can vary by hitting a drum harder or softer, or by playing a stroke away from the center of the skin.
