Tuning toms for recording

I need a little advice here, please. In the past I have only recorded drumsets with 3 toms total. I tuned the highest tom to the 3rd of the key of the song, the middle tom to the root, and the lowest tom to the 5th. I'm set to record an amateur band soon with 5 toms, though. The best tuning I can think of so far is (highest to lowest) 5th, 3rd, Root, 5th, 3rd. But I'm not a drummer and I haven't done that much drum recording. I'd appreciate any advice you have. Thanks.
