"I created these samples specifically for people to use in the context of dnb + halftime bass music. I based all of them on the kinds of characteristics I look for when creating a kick for any of my tunes. I ideally want stuff to be punchy and hard hitting, but sometimes I layer really weird longer tails into my kicks to make them a more feature piece of the track. Many of the samples are synthesised using sine waves, passed through vocoders, phase distorted or otherwise transformed. I'm hoping that they'll provide both a quick and easy source of strong kick sounds as well as be a source of inspiration."
Atrium Audio Presets
- 9 Presets useable for EDM, Rock, and Metal
"We spent some time trying out different samples and played with all of the options that Kickforge included. You can get a lot of wildly different sounds just with a few simple clicks! We hope these presets help push some boundaries for various genres!"
Kane Churko Presets

- Wide range of fun and interesting offerings to create insane sounding kicks
"These presets are a range of alternative kicks that can be used to build a track around or supplement an existing mix. I find myself most interested in superhuman kick drums that can live in an industrial metal song, an electronic production or a standard active rock jam. I like presets to be inspiring so I think you’ll find each of these has a unique flavor to them that sets them apart from each other or from a traditional kick drum. Often a kick drum can be the first element I build a production around so my focus with these presets was to build inspiring sources to do exactly that!"
Prince Fox Presets
- 9 Presets for use in EDM productions
- Wide range of tightly crafted kicks for maximum punch and power
"These samples will certainly get users up and running quickly with a great kick sound you can go on with or tweak to your heart's desire!"

KickForge is amazing! Very intuitive interface, easy processing and most importantly: perfect sound! Any tone can be created quickly.
And the plugin is stable, no crashes in my Cubase!!!
I am in love with this plugin. It does everything I always wanted in a drum/kick creating plugin & does it in a way that makes simple sense. Absolutely Great Plugin.
This is really a tool that help get fast kick sound with less effort. Looking foward for SnareForge.:)
A quick way to get the perfect blend of sub and top end to make the kick cut through ! Love it !
very good samples and great vst
i bought it and then I got it for free. If I spent money on it, I wanted it, so this is a positive review.
What a great plugin! It does both layers of the kick so it's super convenient and it covers a wide range of genres! Thanks!
I found it great in acoustic and electronic sounds and very useful to shape the most important frequency characteristics from a kick drum to make it strong and present.
This is probably the absolute easiest way to dial in the perfect kick for your productions and it sounds fabulous!!
I've installed Kickforge on my PC but, unfortunately, the plugin doesn't show up in my DAW (Cubase Artist 13).
An idea about what's wrong ?
This is a virtual instrument, which means it will show up as a virtual instrument plugin in your DAW rather than an audio insert plugin. You'll need to send midi to it to trigger it.
genial
Its always a good day when you find some software that you were not aware of and find that you then use that software in every track you make.
I have several "Kick makers" already, some are ok, most are not. Kickforge is, in my opinion, the best. Its got plenty of variations to choose from that covers pretty much anything that you need, if that is not enough, it has some great FX to tweak your sound until its perfect.
Thanks Drumforge for such an excellent plugin and thanks for making my life a lot easier.
Kickforge is fantastic; it’s easy to get a great kick drum sound, and there are plenty of presets to choose from, making it simple to experiment with blending an electronic kick drum with an acoustic one, and so on. So check it out for yourself—you won’t regret it.
Adds he right punch
The ultimate kick drum solution!
If getting the right kick sound is a struggle, KICKFORGE is the tool you need. There’s no way you’ll close this plugin without finding a great kick sound for your track. So many great options to choose from, making it easy to find the right punch, weight, and impact for your mix. An absolute lifesaver for kick sounds!
ni suena y ya tiene la carpeta
Necesitas enviar señales MIDI al plugin para activarlo.
With Kickforge alone, you can get the perfect kick for virtually any genre.
It’s lightweight, easy to use, and the quality of every single sample is excellent. I genuinely recommend it.
I honestly think it’s one of the most underrated instruments in Drumforge.

This is a very useful plug-in for layering kick tracks.
Very easy to use and doesn't drain too much CPU.
Purchased this a log time ago. I must have forgotten to write a review. It's a cool plug-in.
Xcellent plug. I use this every time. Good stuff!
Easy to use and very versatile. Just about any kick sound you could want is available with Kickforge.
Thanks to VORSO for showing me this gem! Absolutely fav kick drum VST!!!
A long-standing, highly useful plugin if you want to craft your kick drum sound from A to Z.
A great sounds and easy to use kick VST. Fits in almost any mix.
Definitely find this plugin is my goto for anything rock & metal related. For electronic samples, I find it’s not as competitive but it’s still good.
Would love to see some other features, if it could look ahead to read “fast” double kick midi input and apply multiband compression to the lows that would be game changing.
Maybe a L&R sample mode similar to the drumforge samplers too. But still, great plugin as is.
I love this plugin!!! Best kicks!!!
I finally managed to dial in a punchy, powerful, and dense kick sound. The only problem is that, to keep it from sounding too repetitive, I had to spend a lot of time blending the original kick with another sample.
It would be awesome if a future version of the plugin could support 3–4 different kick sounds within a single preset and randomly alternate between them, with slight random velocity variations. That would go a long way toward creating a much more natural and human-sounding performance.
GOOD SAMPLES.HAD TO INCREASE THE ATTACK ON THE DEATH METAL PRESET.
I spent hours and hours looking for a specific kick sound. I went through many IRs and EQ combinations to resemble what I was hearing in my head. After about 3 weeks of fishing for the kick sound, I tried KICKFORGE and was able to create the sound I was looking for within 5 minutes!
I am also super impressed with the options between acoustic and electronic kicks and the ability to blend, eq, etc. to hit that sound you are looking for.
