i like single kick personally, but it all depends on what the track calls for. i always start with the one though until i get deeper into the track.

i think munki meant he would put kicks in any of those positions, not all of them at the same time.

for me the kicks got to have a good relationship with the bass(line), possibly the most important connection in a track. so for complex basslines, a high amount of kicks in a loop sounds bad, overcrowded. in turn, simpler sounding basses benefit from variating kicks, changing places, doubling etc.

ofcourse, that's just an impression, there are no rules really

Hahah ROFL

Anyway, I do it single kick, maybe put another kick before the first one, like doodoom, it really adds power.

and now you've gone to an even higher level of drumprogramming: using no kicks at all, only snares and ghosts Big Grin Big Grin
