Freebase pretty much summed it up.

Although I have seen in some post-hardcore/metalcore bands (or any band that uses breakdowns), drummers tune their bass drum to the open C (or Db, B) or whatever to match the low string on the bass guitar. Makes a breakdown, or any segment of the song where guitarists and bassists are all playing an open note sound heavy as ****. But unless you're going for that type of sound, or playing all your songs in the same key, that's not going to do you a whole lot of good.
