What would a drummer to make the sound of a drum give a note of lower pitch?

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.


Is drum a musical instrument with high sound?

Drums come in a verity of sizes and depths each can be tuned by adding tension to the drum head, the smaller the drum the smaller the surface area of the drum head this can have a lot of tension put in and will create a higher pitch. The Smaller tom-toms are normally called tenor tom-toms but bongos played by hand can be tuned high. The Snare drum can also have a high pitch as well but all in all it depends on how the individual drum is set up.

How is it possible for a big drum and a small drum to produce the same pitch?

It Isnt, PoindexterIt Isnt, Poindexteredit by a drummer: it is possible! it's all about tuning! I'm just a starter so not very good at it, but my teacher said the following: if you want a deep pitch, you gotta make sure you start tuning at the top, and keep the pitch as low as possible, then the bottom should be pitched a little bit higher, (half a turn of the screw or so, try and learn), and to get it pitched high, one should do the opposite. thus, if one tunes the biggest very high, and the smallest drum very low, they can produce the same pitch.
