but 9 times out of 10, unless dealing with complex chord changes, there will probably be another pitch that fits better overall. If there's an obvious clash, then it MIGHT still work if the sustain portion of the kick is fairly short. If it sounds like it fits harmonically all the way through, then it'll definitely fit as the fundamental to which your kick descends. A useful way of checking compatibility is to dial in a basic sine synth patch, and play, say, a quarter note low A throughout a cycle of your chord progression. So, yeah, if the song is in A, then tuning the kick's fundamental to 55 hz is a good place to look, especially if you're synthesising some of the kick's low end. If the chord structure of the track is fairly standard, then there very likely will be some common tones. It all depends on context a short, acoustic kick, may have no discernible fundamental, but that doesn't mean that some tunings might gel better than others. No, it's not nonsense yes, a fair number of people do it no, most songs don't have an A chord and a Bb, but if they do, then a kick with a strong fundamental at C would fit better with, say A minor and Bb major than one tuned to C#.
