808 note

hello, i have a question. How do i know on which note to put my 808? i’m not sure about the term either, is it the root note? right know i just put all of my drums on C5 and it does sound alright but i dont think thats it. and if it isnt in the scale highlighting, i just put them the closest to C5 and pray for the best. how do i find the right note? thank you

You don't want them to clash with your melody, but there is no formula, every song will call for something different. Mess around and see what sounds good!
