A nice clicky/fat bass drum sound..

snappy bass drum...

for a punchy bass kick sound in pro tools ill take and put a fairly wide band boost at 3k and a narrower boost at 8k and then slam the track with an 1176 (the bomb factory one) if you have a good compressor y0u can achieve this though. for the fat boom of a kick, try adding any where from 60hz to 100 hz
60 moves the speakers quite a bit so dont over do that one. one other tip, the BEST shelving eq for bass drums is called MCDSP ANALOG CHANNEL2. there is no shelf smoother for drums.
hope that helps man.

one more thing

i also use an udix d6 to achieve the initial snapola, youd be suprised how much you can shape a kick with that mic in play.
later.
 
HAhAHAHAHAHAHA

I posted this like... when I was 18? I did a search for a sample just trying to find a sample for a friend on his comp.

I am 24 now. I love my bassdrum sounds. Thanks everyone you probably helped me get there.
