Hi All,

I've been experimenting with production in the UK Hardcore style of music and want some help trying to identfy a type of kick / bass combo i've seen pop up a few times. I can't seem to find an actual released track with this, so I've linked some live examples.

To me, it sounds like some sort of big room type kick possibly. I've tried looking at jungle terror kicks, techno rumble kicks and big room kicks but they aren't quite the right sound. Wondering if anyone has any tips on making a kick or tail like this, or if they can recommend a good tutorial on youtube / name of the kick.

Any other examples of the sound in other songs from other genres would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks!

The YouTube videos don't seem to be time stamped for me. Can you let me know whereabouts it occurs and I'll have a listen :)

The answer is any punchy kick you like. There is not any kick that sounds like the next.

Sorry, timemarks in YT vids don't work here.

#1: 530 secs = 8:50
#2: 1595s = 26:35
#3: 966s = 16:06
