heres a little tip id like to share
keying a kick drum has always been a nightmare for me but recently ive discovered this technique that just gets straight to the point. Put your drum sample in any sampler and call up a decent spectral analyser, I use voxengo span, the low frequency inspection preset is just insane. Push the attack up on the sampler to between 60 to 80ms, this will skip the attack leaving the fundamental (low end) frequency and then bring the attack back to 0 and take away the sustain and release to 0 also this will give you the frequency of the attack stage of the sample. From there you could use the circle of fifths to verify the key of your sample.
