Some will do both but do any of you have a marked preference for designing your own percussion? I dislike the fact that samples are more static than synthesised instruments

drum sample is not bad at all, you can do layering,EQ to create different sound shapes...
and synthesis is more advanced and provide you more control than sample
sample is portable and efficient,for people want to get the sound fast,just want to get into composing fast as possible,don't want to spend alots time to mess around with synthesis
but synthesis can help you get unique results

Use both. I usually syntesize the body of kick with simple sine wave and overlay it with sample to add some character.

Yeah makes sense guess. I prefer not to synthesise drums from scratch. I found out how quite accidentally which was fun. I was playing around with a BP filter and pitch envelope and suddenly my nice melodic pluck turned into a kick. I just end up spending way too long tweaking things to get the kick into that perfect zone. Its hard enough with dedicated synths like drumatic where only relevant parameters are displayed!DJ Warmonger wrote:Use both.

Does anyone find producing kicks designed to sit in a mix is harder than producing a kick for solo use?

I often use a combination of a sampled drum break and synthesized kick / snare ... or sometimes sampled kick & snare. Usually my synthesized drums get sampled anyway.
