for sure guys! loving the feedback, especially the honesty. believe me, i take none of it to heart and as long as it's constructive i will always take it into consideration
i originally had a nice, 3-layer kick that stomped fairly tough but decided to scrap it due to some EQ'ing issues that dealt more-so with gel'ing with other elements. i'm super down to give a new kick a go - none of the drum samples i use aren't processed a decent amount (and / or layered, etc.) so it'll be fun to engineer one that fits the track better.
i feel like because i've heard the track played so many times on my monitors, as well on large club / outdoor PAs, that i've subjectively become totally cool with the way the kick was >_< reasons like this are why i put this track up here. also, that rendered version is missing a (small, but integral) part of the shinier, upper khz region of the snare which i realized after checking the project file, thanks to wub.
anywho, i'm glad you really dug the track TeRRo! it shouldn't be too tough to whip up a "stompier" kick because not too much EQ'ing will need to be done - the bassline(s) are all bussed with a sidechain compressor slightly ducking specific frequencies. i'll see what i can do in the next couple of days and keep you guys posted!
