Hi guys and girls, there is a kick drum sound on a matty b track called "hooked on you" it's on youtube for reference listening, it is the kind of kick drum sound i just dont seem to be able to get, when using either AD Drums or EZ Drummer even when i layer with samples, EQ compress or what ever so has any one any clue how to achieve that sound...i doubt the artist in question would have the time or need to tell me so i wont bother asking hence i come to you people and your knowledge!
regards Peter

A quick listen tells me it sounds somewhat like a classic 808 kick.
 
Try this YouTube video for ideas on fattening an 808:

Also, see Zo's review of the Boz Sasquatch plug-in. It can be used to modify kick drums with good success.
The Boz plug is currently on sale.

thanks mikedocy, very helpfull info...indeed when i analyzed the kick in question it is peaking at 50 hz at about 10 db and cuts off steeply at about 240-250 hz i just like the sound of this kick, i am guessing matty b's producer use's a lot of ready made samples which is fine i just want to learn how to make such sounds from scratch using a vst such as AD or EZ  which in a roundabout sort of way are samples! my living room is not big enough for a drum kit plus at a wild guess my neighbors might get a bit angry with the noise!!!!

also in the boz post the man shows how to use the sasquatch he puts it on an "aux" track...why? could he have also make a bus track and insert it there and then send the various drum components to that bus and save real estate?

The best way to use Sasquatch would be to use it as a plug-in on the audio track of the kick drum.
Yes, you can put it on a bus and send various drum components to it, but they will obviously all get the same treatment which may or may not be desired. The Sasquatch was designed to be a bass drum processor. I have read about some people experimentally using it on snare and toms, but again, that was not the original intent of the plug-in design.

ok, great info..i learn something new all the time, thanks a lot

I feel like at least someone should point out that that song is utter garbage

The Addictive Drums Reel Machines AD Pak has 808 sounds. https://www.xlnaudio.com/products/adpak/reel_machines . Unfortunately the XLN 50% off sale ended yesterday. The Boz Digital Sasquatch is insanely cool on kick, snare and toms and is still on sale.

thanks once again for the infomation and it is getting me there...btw @RSMCGUITAR pointing out your opinion about the song, whist valid for you and your tastes and needs in music does not contribute in terms of useful information and as you know music is a fantastic way of expression for any one and everyone, it is impossible to determine what is "good" or "bad" music, there simply is no reference point for that...or indeed no need for it...enjoy the music!!!
