Not accurately. Korg tuners take a second to register and by then your sound is gone or has changed. It can't pick up individual lugs on the drum either - which is what you need to tune. It only picks up the overall sound of the drum. You are best to do this one by ear hitting the area around each lug trying to match the pitch with your desired sound.

Is a pitch pipe tuner the same as a chromatic tuner?

No, a pitch pipe just plays the pitch and you match the string to it. For a chromatic, you play the string, and it tells you if its to high or to low. I would recommend a chromatic, especially if you are a beginner.

How to Tune an Electric Bass Guitar Using an Electronic Chromatic Tuner?

Tuning an electric bass guitar can be easily simplified by using a chromatic tuner to do the work for you. Normally fairly inexpensive (starting at about $15 and going up from there), a chromatic tuner is a great choice for bassists who will be using standard tuning on their four and five-string basses as well as for those who will be frequently changing their tuning to suit the musical mood.What is a chromatic tuner and what makes it different? To keep things simple and theory-free, a chromatic tuner is essentially a more precise tuner that allows for the recognition of all twelve notes of the scale, whereas simpler tuners may only allow for the display and recognition of a smaller range, such as standard tuning only.After you've purchased your new tuner, simply plug the guitar into the tuner with your cord, and turn the tuner on. Most tuners will also allow you to simply play the note for their built in speaker, but connecting the bass directly to the tuner with a cord is the most reliable method.When is a note too flat? When is a note too sharp?There are a few fundamentals you will have to recognize before beginning the tuning process. Understanding the musical symbols for flat (looking very much like a lowercase b) and sharp (a somewhat italicized looking #) is the first step. When a note displays on your chromatic tuner as being too flat, you must tighten the corresponding tuning peg by turning it clockwise to tighten the string slightly. Conversely, when a note displays on your chromatic tuners as being too sharp, you must turn the peg counter-clockwise to flatten the note down a bit.How to Tune your Bass to Standard TuningIf you are playing a four string bass, standard tuning is E A D G (You can use Ears Are Dangerously Goofy as a mnemonic in order to remember more easily, though you can easily substitute your own). This means that your top string, the thickest, should be tuned to E when it is played open – that is, without any fretting being done.The standard tuning for a five string bass is B E A D G (Big Ears Are Dangerously Goofy). This time, the top string is tuned to B and progresses from there. Five string basses are a little more difficult to learn, but they also possess a more extensive range for certain genres of music.How to Tune your Bass to Drop D, Drop C, or Half-Step DownThree more commonly used tunings that exist outside of standard tuning for four string basses are Drop D, Drop C, or Half-Step Down.The tunings are: Drop D (D A D G), Half-step down: (Eb Ab Db Gb – remember, the lowercase b denotes that the note must be flat, and the symbol will be displayed on your tuner), and Drop C (C A D G). Drop D and Drop C are both very common tuning styles for extreme heavy metal (death metal, hardcore) and Half-step down is common in rock, hard rock, prog rock, heavy metal, and jazz fusion.Learning to tune your guitar with a chromatic tuner will eventually lead you to being much better at tuning by ear, as you begin to instinctively recognize the sound you are trying to achieve – practice makes perfect!
