I love the drums in this recording...esp. the kick drum.

That kick seems obviously enhanced with a "bass drop" sample....to give it that hip hop vibe or whatever.

How could one get that acousticly? or *maybe* they did?

I was thinking with just the right EQ and tuning...maybe.
 
If you mean an actual pitch drop, that's not doable with acoustics. If you just want a huge feel, some guys use a 12 or 15 inch speaker into a pre for a second mic on kick drum...
 
So much can (and is) done digitally nowadays.

Part of me loves this fact, for it affords me home recording :) ... but part of me misses the charm and art in engineering, mic positioning, acoustics, etc...
 
yeah, i kind of hate digital now.

there is no art to engineering anymore..i agree.

when you say "pitch drop" - how exactly would one use/generate an effect like that?

just some sample that is triggered to the kick?
 
i think there is plenty of artistry afoot in the digital realm-just the convenience of it creates a larger variety of uncreative projects. there are also plenty of people that still do neat things long before any digitizing takes place.

as far as pitch drops go, you can either take a sample and simply drop the play rate, or you can do a time compression-type thing and then drop the pitch to match the compression proportionally-lots of software has this kind of thing (perhaps often on a basic/coarse level) built-in.
