Dubstop bass drum

Hi Mike,

There are plenty of free dubstep drum samples available online - try searching on Google or visit the Freesound website as a good place to start:

A quick tip: dubstep kick drums are sometimes deliberately 'hollow' with very little bass at the bottom end - this is to leave plenty of room for monstrous synth bass naughtiness. Try removing the lower end frequencies from whatever kick you decide to use with a shelving EQ (or high pass filter) anywhere between 40 - 80Hz as a rough guesstimate - but only if you think the kick is competing with the bassline. Also try a bit of distortion to dirty things up a bit.

Happy dubstepping!

(Slightly...) OT... Very many years ago now, our best 'reggae' bass drum for recording was an enormous rag ladybird stuffed into a plastic bucket, beaten with a wooden spoon. Difficult for touring, perhaps, but sometimes thinking 'out of the box' does the trick. (Poverty is an inspiration, too...)
