This kick... ?

I'm usually not one to obsess over kicks but this one is pretty sweet. It's kinda "flat" and doesn't jump out of the mix but still packs enough body. Sounds like there's one part that's totally distorted and then layered with another part but I'm not sure what's giving it the body, sounds kinda 808-ish but not really.

Just a saturated 909 kick with subtle pitch envelope (attack), cranked up mids and a bit of compression on top . You think way too complex dude
Re: This kick... ?
Thanks, i'll try that. Maybe I'm thinking too complicated, I'm not good with kicks
Re: This kick... ?
The common mistake is to go for too much attack on the kick itself. Whereas that fat sound comes from bending the sine content towards square with saturation. If you had a hw mixer and a 909 i'd say just crank up the channels input level till it bleeds and run it through something like a dbx.

Nice tips, yeah I often find that easing the attack in punchy/clicky kicks can do wonders in bringing out the fundemental body.
With try your tips too Rktic

Also a nice track, very basic and classic but so much energy!

Just sounds like a compressed 909 to me, maybe some lows chipped out a touch.
Actually I just think it hasn`t been mixed very well, the low end is really flat, I mean, it`s off topic and not too relevant, but it`s a trait of not having accurate low end monitoring. Might be the mastering engineer has just killed all the life in the low end.
But yeah, kick is just a compressed 909.
