I tested hundreds (thousands?) of kick samples that I have and I haven't found anything close that has the same top end slappy sound as this kick. Figuring out all the processing was very difficult. :(

I did some tests and processing using AI stems to remove the kick from the song and replace it. These are some of the songs that I felt you could hear the kick well and without so much crap blocking the sound.

The following sound samples go MY KICK, NO KICK (this is so you can hear the parts that I removed), and THE ORIGINAL song.

It doesn't sound exactly the same because it's missing the original masterbus compression and the last bit of glue but it's kinda close. Listening back I think I overdid the top end a bit >:( f***

Also sometimes he uses another kick (poppy,new architects?) so that's another sound.

He still uses the kick sound on newer stuff too. This Sleep Theory song has a really clean section during the verse where you can hear the kick pretty well. I'll try to see if I can match the sound later.

This new Amira Elfeky song sounds kinda similar to the TDWP kick I made
