I use the Markus Hakala 500 tuned kicks pack, and I literally never try to find a kick that is in key.  It is more important (for me at least) to find a kick that sounds right for your tune.  It's like going to the shops for low fat milk and all they have is expired low-fat, then using it anyway.  Just cause its got the right name or whatever is not the definitive factor.

Type 2 usually doesn't have a recognizable note. If your ears or a tuner can't find a note, this is probably the case. In this case, it's probably not necessary to tune it. (This is why rock bands don't worry about tuning kicks).

Thanks for sharing this, most of my kicks are "type 2"
