I'd actually argue that if you are going to tune your kick you should be using the current bass note as the tuning reference so that it sits well with that bass note rather than an arbitrary scale based tone that may or may not appear in the bassline at all
- the oldschool rock mantra was kick is tuned to the tonic of the home scale snare to the 5th and toms tuned as 8ve, 5th, and 3rd
