    why do we lock to the kick drum?

    Hi, I was wondering for the acoustical or physical reason the bass often plays the same rhythm as the kick drum. Is it because the kick, as well as the bass, sounds lowest? Or to support the impact of the kick, which is often hard to be heard clearly? What are your thoughts?

    To lock or not to lock... that is the question.

    I was recently in a conversation regarding the fundamental role of the bass player in a band and came across some differing opinions. As we all know, the bass is the bridge between the rhythm and the melody. But, as is to be expected, not everyone approaches it the same way. I hear more and...

    Crosstalk - Kick drum mic and my rig

    Ok - there has been a weird issue my last couple of gigs. It seems that a few times during a gig, a particular note (low D) will seem to trigger some very low frequency boomy feedback from my drummers kick mic. When it starts, if I mute everything, it will continue until he zeros the kick mic...

    Kick drum through my bass amp?

    We play bar gigs mostly indoors but some outdoors shows on the deck. We have the typical powered mixer with 2 mains and 2 powered monitors, no subs. Small set up, only the vocals go through the board. For our outdoor shows we want to mic the drums. I like this idea but the sound guy is...

    That pedal you cant kick off your board

    You know that pedal that you are extremely happy with, but for some ridiculous reason you still keep searching for something better to replace it with anyway? You try other effects but by the next week its back on there. Mine is my vt bass deluxe. No other pedal does my toneshaping and...

    808 kick bass on a sub bass

    help me think here. lets say i have a bass tuned down much lower or an octave pedal. how can i make it sound more like an 808 kick aka bass hit? a compressor sustainer seems to be the first thing that comes to mind, second a static low pass filter like the iron ether xerograph deluxe. for pitch...

    Triggering Kick Drum Sample with Line Signal from Bass

    Okay...so I'm gonna try and explain this as best I can. I play electric bass in a folk/Celtic/bluegrass style trio (think Nickel Creek). Most of the lines I play are heavy two-beat parts based on steady quarter notes (think Folsom Prison Blues). Since we don't have drums or percussion, I...

    Just kick me ... (silliness of GAS)

    I have a great rig. Amazing Zon bass, choice of 2 killer amps (Genz Benz Shuttle or Sonic Farm 2Di4 into RAD 1000 watt monster), the best cabs I've ever played through or heard (MAS). And although I seldom have need for them, a nice set of effects. I am blessed, and I am grateful. I have...

    Kick drum punchiness

    I'm looking for the kind of punchy tone where it seems there'd be a kick drum behind each note played :D. Where would one start to achieve such a punchy tone? Pickups? Cab(s)? more power? I've come to realize that flat wounds DID help me to get a punchier tone; but What else can I try? My tone...

    How do you sidechain your bass to the kick drum?

    When making music digitally, especially in electronic styles like House, EDM, Trance, Dubstep, etc. the bass is sidechained to the kick drum so it slightly dips in volume when the kick hits. Thus, both sounds being low frequencies don't interfere with each other, making the mix flow better. Is...
