Its always best to start with the closest sounding sample. Many drum sample vsti will have tuning settings on them, like slate drums, bfd, toontrack, etc. Those work over a pretty wide range.

If you don't have that, and you just need a little tuning, you can try a pitch shifting pluggin.

interesting now you got me thinking.....usb connected microprocessor to multiple servo motors on the drum head tuners. Throw in a motor control stick to beat the head consistently.... you could tune the head from the daw....;)

There was a particular snare that I heard from a YouTube video online that I would like to learn how to duplicate on my own. Is there a way I can tune a similar sounding snare in Logic Pro to match what I heard in the video, or should I just keep digging online for a snare sample that sounds closer to what I want? If there is a way to do it in my DAW, what would you do to achieve that? EQ?

Most drum samples and loops available and those, can I say overused, aren't just the recording of the instrument.
A big part of THE SOUND, sample seakers want is a combinaison of snare and reverb.
Even if the tunnig is important, EQ and Reverb textures makes a big difference.
Most of the time a gated reverb was used in the classic samples, like the TR-808 and others.
Some bass drum samples in electronic music aren't based on a real bassdrum at all.
Some snare samples are clever combinaison of snare and hand claps (detuned and overcompressed..)

Personnaly and with all my respect, I wouldn't try to make it sound like someone else. Producing unique sounds is far more rewarding than trying to copy others...
