Dude there's nothing "Nerdy" about it. But there is something "LAZY" about not doing it.
The right way IS the right way... Not the only way , of course not... But still the right/And True/First in the chain" way.
"ALL" Kicks Started from the Right way'(before being sampled and played with).... Think about that. If its rock or hip hop, its less important cause in the real world drums arnt tuned to every track. So why would you do it when producing/engineering etc.
But if its "Dance Music"(electronic)... You most Certainly want your kick in tune with your Bass. This is a engineering revelation that has come thru time. Im not gonna get into the (chapter in a book's worth) reason's why....to busy taking the time to mold this kick
But 2 say its Nerdy??? haha C'mon man..... Might as well say if you 'Organize' then your a neat freak.....??? Just cause you dont like to Organize. (metaphorically speaking...)
And this is all from someone that used to do it the other way.
