diferent velocities dont usually create different pitches, at least not with sample based drums. your volume will change when you hit it from 0 to 127, but the pitch will stay the same all the way through, as for regular drums, they are pretty much the same too.
a drummer has some control over the tuning of his kit, but not that drastic as debauch was saying.
if one were to tune his kit, he would probably tune it to a certain song for recoridng purpouses i would think.
but most drums in rock or funk songs arent inentinally tuned. we have an advantage with electronic music though because we can tune any sample we want.
there is a lot of sample packs that each drum is tuned in it, and it says in the sample name, those are the kind of drums i was talking about before.
a lot of people just chop a break and raise or lower the pitch until it sounds good though, so you can also do that.
im kind of over obsessive about that kind of shit though, so if i wantn something to be tuned exactly i will get a tuned drum sample rather than tune an untuned one.
but that also has to do with not having the greatest ear for pitch on my end either.
hope this helps.
