Take one TR808 kick drum, distort to fuk, then compress. Job's a good'un.

^ 909 and 808 kick synthesis.

Part 1 can be found here: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan0...ecrets0102.asp

can you show us any examples of the kicks?

from my experience ive found gabber kicks are never as simple as distorting an 808 or 909. maybe 10 years ago but the modern kicks are pretty complex

Do the modern ones actually sound better though?

well i guess it depends if you like the genre to start with

i would say they do sound better. the old ones sounded kind of cheap and nasty.

the newer tracks are very well made in comparison


just a few random examples. please note i have a limited knowledge of the genre
