I had to buy several items just to realize that Kick Drum was the best choice for the price all along. The only negatives I’ve found were that there are better units available, but they are more expensive and the reviews I found on them were on the negative side. So here’s my final word. I 100% endorse Kick Drum and will even show you some places to get it even cheaper than retail.
why do some drummers stand on Kick Drum the batter head of the kick drum?

This is difficult to explain in words. It varies depending on the sample you’re using. In EDM production, there are often very novel sounds. Thus EQing/mixing has no universal protocol. It’s one aspect that makes EDM production actually a very difficult procedure at times. You have be creative. Kick drum punches typically encompass a wide variety of frequencies. Depending on your production, you’ll want to boost some frequencies and lower others. If you want to emphasize the lower end of the kick, anywhere from 20-1000 Hz may be used, but it isn’t limited to those areas. If you want the kick to be sharp sounding, a higher frequency like 3 kHz might be reasonable. Anything can work depending on the sound. I’ve heard kick drums filtered down to under 100 Hz occupying no other frequencies. Try making a boost peak in the equalizer and scanning along the frequencies with the kick drum playing and find out which frequencies you want to stand out. Then mix accordingly. You may have to compensate when another sound occupies the same frequency or pan it to make it stand out. You can use VST audio analyzers to figure out exactly what frequencies are used. What you ultimately boost or turn down will depend on the kick drum’s place in your production.

Use a tuba glue!Har har har, no really, I didn’t think it would be that funny.
put a blanket or pillows in your bass dum
you have to EQ them slightly to get a percussive click and get a bass formant. 400-600 hz should be boosted alittle bit to give you a click.roll off the lowsand then boost wherever you want the bass formant to be at.also to keep them in front you can send more of the kick track to your comp/squeeze track or send less of the kick track to your ‘verb track. but in general the kick drum will always stand out from the other drums becuase its at a different frequecy range… maybe the floor tom might interfere if you have the kick tuned that low but you just need to have it isolated from the bass… maybe gobo the whole kit.if your kit is tuned sloppy then you might need to retune it. if you are using midi to trigger it then you might want to buy hardware for the sound you want. the DM5 and procussion work good for industrial and metal. also the drumstation and the ER MKII is a cheap effective simple workhorse. as for software… just buy max msp or reaktor to make your own drum modules… you’ll never need to buy soft synths if you have reaktor or max msp becuase you can make your own that are 1000x better than consumer grade software.as for syncopating the kick… i’ve never really heard a kick or snare syncopated but if your a jazz drummer than you might get away with it.
I’ve done that before in a pinch. It will work (you still have to be careful of high transient spikes damaging the speaker).A lot of it will depend on how good the drum sounds acoustically, how doo the mic is, and the amp itself.Give it a shot and see if it works for you.Greetings from Austin, TxKen
A drum trigger is just a piezoelectric transducer that clips onto a drum. You can make one in 20 minutes with a soldering iron and two parts from Radio Shack (piezo transducer and mono female 6.35mm jack).However, the trigger itself cannot play back samples. It needs to be hooked up to a ‘brain’ that plays a sample (aka digital sound) every time it receives the trigger signal. And this ‘brain’, usually called a ‘drum module’, needs to be hooked up to a PA system or similar.So you need:- trigger- drum module (look at Alesis, Roland, Yamaha)- PA system
Drum triggers work just like the pads on an electric drum set or the keys on an electric keyboard for that matter. When you strike the drum head it sends a signal to a drum module with produces a presampled drum sound. Some drummers mic their acoustic drum kit and also use triggers to produce both a real and synthesized drum sound simultaneously.
I don’t understand the question…From what I gathered, you need to know what to set your compressor at. As far as the ratio, I’m pretty firm with 4:1, but with attack and release you just have to fool around with it and find something you like. I usually increase the attack time until it loses punch, then take it back slowly until it sounds right. For release, I increase the time, and then slowly decrease it until the kick ends right as the next one begins, so there’s just a tiny “breath.”Hope that helps.
The official RedOctane store is one of the only places I have seen this available yet: http://www.redoctane.com $19.99

The answer is a bit more complicated than you might think. This article explains it very well.
I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure the two are made by different companies, and if they wanted their game controllers to work together, that wouldn’t make much sense….-Jess
Kick-drum and Bass-drum are used interchangeably by most people when it relates to drumset. The link you posted IS what you’re looking for.
A cord with a micro switch where your foot pedal is.. just like a light switch to a lamp.. I can’t draw it on here but hope it helps
shit ummm either download kicklab xl reallll good on strong bass songs and that sound in grillz because you can actually make the kick sound how you want how much bass you want in it how strong the punch will hit the pitch the thrash saturation and lots more but if not just go to the fl studio sounds find packs>vintage>Vt_Bd_2 then enable the keyboard player and press number 9
Use two mics on the kick drum, it sounds excellent. Stick one way inside there and one right in front. When you combine it sounds big and fat. You’ll have to make room in your mix for more kick sound though. You could also compress the other tracks with a sidechain to the kick track. That way whenever the kick hits, the other tracks duck out a little bit to make room.
