This is a matter of taste, what genre you are writing drums for, what sounds you use for the kick etc.

One example can be if you produce EDM (electronic dance music). Then the kicks are often quite long, and have a distinct tone in them (usually a 808 kick). Then it’s common to tune the kick, since it will otherwise create a disharmony. You can use the tune knob in EZdrummer 2 (click the small arrow on the kick) – or use a tuning software in your DAW.

My personal preference is, if the kick has got a ringy tone, I tend to tune it to the song key.

The best way to deal with this situation is to disregard the key and simply go by how well it sounds in the mix.

Is there any way to make EZbass compatible with MacOS 10.6.8?
