The frequency of a drum depends on the size and tightness of the skin and the volume of the resonating chamber. So, a smaller skin, a tighter skin and a smaller volume will each contribute to a higher pitched drum.
The reasons for this have to do with
(a)the speed of sound waves across the skin, which rises when the skin is tighter,
(b) the speed of sound in air inside the drum which means higher resonances will happen when the drum walls are closer together and
(c) the distance from the point you strike the skin and the edge of the skin, which means reflections from the edge happen sooner on small skins.

Does the frequency change if the observer moves?
actually the frequency donot change but apparent change in frequency is observed by the observer...........(may be this help u)
How does sound frequency change?
the frequency of a sound can change depending on how fast the source is vibrating
Does Amplitude change frequency?
no...frequency is the property of source....
How can you change the frequency of a wave?
You can't. Once the wave leaves its source, its frequency doesn't change.
How is frequency made?
To make sound frequency change alter the pitch.
Why do windows shake when you beat a drum?
This is probably due to the frequency that the drum emits after being hit. That frequency is probably similar to your window so it oscillates while its resonance is increased by the loud drum.
What do drums have to do with physics?
The vibrations (sound) of a beaten drum are sound waves. The frequency, of the produced sound waves, is what determines the pitch of the drum.
Is a teakettle whistle have greater frequency than a drum beat?
false because it does

What is frequency sensitivity?
the amount of frequency change in the carrier frequency per unit amplitude change in the message signal is the frequency sensitivity this term comes in the frequency moulation
How does area affect a drum pitch?
The area in which you drum will not change the pitch but change the way in which you hear the drum. The sound may last longer or less, it may be loud or quiet.
The change in allele frequency?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
How does sound frequency change?
the frequency of a sound can change depending on how fast the source is vibrating
Does Amplitude change frequency?
no...frequency is the property of source....
Can the pich of a drum be change?
yes!
