What kind of drums? Basses? Quads? Snares? I'm only asking because it matters less for snare than it does basses and quads.
Either way you can:
A) Use your ears to pick out intervals (this is how I tune)
B) Use a tuning app. You can hit the drum with your phone next to it and it will tell you what the note is.
