The tuning of one's own drum set is completely by personal preference. I could tell you a specific pitch to tune it to, but that is only ONE way to tune a floor tom. I personally tune my snare to a B flat, my highest tom to an F, my second tom to a D, and my floor tom to a B flat an octave below my snare. However, I suggest you play around with your floor tom and a drum key and see what sound you like best. Avoid it being so low that it sounds "flubby" or "tubby"...and, on the flip side, you don't want it to sound too high and blend in with your other toms. The purpose of a floor tom is to support the bass drum.
