What causes the sounds that come from drums?

When a drum is struck with a hand or a mallet, it causes the drum-skin to vibrate. This vibration creates a wave of vibrating air molecules. When this wave reaches your ear, it causes your tympanic membrane (commonly referred to as the ear drum) to vibrate. This vibration sends a nerve impulse to your brain which is registered as a sound.

What would happen if you beat a drum on a planet where there is no air?

There would be no sound. Sound requires a medium, like air, or water or anything with mass to propagate the wave that causes the vibration in the ear that produces the effect of sound in the brain. If you put your ear or more likely, the helmet of your spacesuit against the drum, the physical contact would transfer the vibration to the air in you helmet and then to your ear, enabling you to hear the sound.
