Great music production is about creating energy. The energy engages the listener and takes them on a journey. Without it they may skip your track. Kick drum production is one way that you can achieve this heightened energy.
This kick drum production tip is more for electronic music production or beat making but by varying the kick sound, you can create a kick groove that “vibes” a bit more. The same is true with other drums and percussion.
Now it doesn’t work for all genres of music and the selection of kick drum will define whether or not it works so trust your ears.
An additional tip on a similar subject is layering g kick drums and having different samples taking care of different parts of the sonic spectrum. Again this gives you more energy … And bigger kicks.
