Best Answer

In most modern western music, the standard tuning note is A 440, meaning 440 hz (440 cycles per second). The most common deviation from this is found in Baroque music, where the tuning note is usually A 415, which is slightly lower in pitch.

Improved: SUre, a Bass Drum, like any drum, is 'tuned'; by that we mean the skin is tightened to make a suitable sound. BASS DRUMS --no drum, except TIMPANI -- Are not 'tuned'..... to specific pitches. Good Question! I know that it is a percussion, and you do have to tighten the strings every know and then.Bass in this case means large because it just has a deeper sound.
