No, drums don't have a key to follow. A key refers to what notes in a melodic scale are meant to be used in a certain song. Since drums only have single rhythmic sounds, they don't produce a scale that needs to stick to a key. Most rhythmic percussion instruments don't have keys

Drums don't need to be in key since they produce non-pitched sounds; however, they should complement other instruments in terms of rhythm and dynamics.
