What might help, if you really have to do this within QC (which is the hard way to do it, what with QC having near-zero audio processing!). Get the rough audio spectrum data (using the built-in audio patch or the QC one) and visualise it on-screen as a spectrum. With some luck, you can see the kick fairly clearly and identify which frequency band it's in. This will let you manually tune the composition.
Also keep in mind that no two kickdrums are alike, and that other instruments are going to use the same frequencies - you probably need to be able to select frequencies to use (and possibly combinations of frequencies to eliminate other instruments) on the fly for anything live.
