Kick Drum roll?

[djwired]

Hi there peeps, sorry if i sound a bit thick but please help! Basically in my tracks i have usually made the drum rolls with snares. But am workin on a track now & want to us e a kick for the roll without it being too much. Can i use the same fat as **** kick i'm using all the way throught the tune? Do i have to kill the bass or something when i use it on a roll so that it does not sound so meaty! I have an example here... http://www.sendspace.com/file/gfarxe of a drum roll using a Kick which i took off a tune i have. Hope someone can help me...thanx

hi mate...will check yer track in aminute..

some info before, though:

i reckon you would want to shorten the decay (possibly release, dunno) just shorten the kick... depends on the length of the initial kick, though.. but as you said it's ''fat'' i reckon it's a longer booming one - so cut it so it's only a 16th note (or 32th) note long, depending on what you want roll wise. thing is you don't want them to overlap each other...if you use fruity loops there is a very easy way to do rolls. give me a shout if you do, mate :)

Whatever sounds good to you dude:)
What Loopdon said about shortening the decay would work well.

velocity changes also work well in kick rolls

try using another (similar sounding) kick, against the one you are already using.
