Hi,

First post here, been reading a lot on these forums and all over the internet tbh to find out more about composing your own kick drum.
Been messing around with Hydra, just got logic pro x yesterday and been checking out ultrabeat.

The reason why i post here is because there is little to no information or help on creating your own kick drum.
Got the best results from hydra but i get confused since i don't know when to distort and eq with what particular distortion vst.

My prime example is the crossbreed alias of Bratkilla (Contrage)

Maybe if someone could help me analyze this kick drum? Is it a short 808 kick with a massive reese layered on it?

So my question is how i can get my own kick drums sounding like that (which is the best vst/plugin for kick drums like that, maybe throw in some distortion vst's you'd think would suit best for hardcore drum & bass.

Let me know if i'm not clear enough, any help is welcome & thanks in advance
 
The kick is more than likely a sample. It does not sound like there is much to it. Just a little distortion. That fuzz sound on top sounds like noise osc with a bunch of distortion side chain under the kick.
