"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."

"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
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.
Instantly shapes your kick to perfection!
Works and sounds good, nice workflow but with my Mac Studio in Rosetta Mode comes the beachball of death…
Finally a bad ass trigger that I can depend on. It’s god-like hehe
This plugin is everything it says it is and more. The selection and the ease of use to achieve great results makes this a must have for anyone looking to get a great kick sound!
Straightforward, intuitive, high sound quality, punch… at your fingertips without compromises. The Best Kick Generator on the market.
I am a big fan of DF plugins, so I got this one just to see what I could do with it. I think the way the plugin is setup is great! EQ on the different bandwidths adjusting as you shape the sound is cool. My only gripe is I wish it had .wav export like Sonic Academy’s “Kick 2”. The samples are excellent on this plugin and possibilities are endless!
Handy all in one plugin. It pauses to have a little think between every operation on my W10 computer. Otherwise it would have received 5 stars.
This is very versatile and mix-ready tool!
I love how simple this plugin makes finding a kick drum. I have used it for full replacement, and color mixture; It has no competition. This sampler simply makes kick drums an easy quick banger maker, instead of an hourly headache. Stellar.
Nothing flash tbh
Really great for layering
Loving this plugin! Released just in time to to save two mixes in which the drums were not recorded on the best conditions. I have received compliments on the mix with positive comments about the kick. Indeed the right kick for the track can get the song to another level.
Performs as advertised, pumped to use this on a bunch of productions!
I really thought i was going to blend some of these tones with the microphone and ended up being the opposite, the ability to tune (both sides of the head) and basically sound design the tone of the overall kick through midi makes GREAT for a quick mix for tracking the other instruments.. or even keeping it that way. Perfect for blending or just straight up creating the custom kick tone for the song. my kick threshold thought-out the song varies always.. so from rhythmic hits to 4 on the floor it sounds great for composing something from this products nature.
A handy plugin, work perfect with my DAW. Sound quality is top notch!
Very good Bass Drums ans Snare's
The Kick drum is always my problem. Even if I know exactly what I want,it's rare that I can make it 100% as I have it in my mind.
I got the plug in yesterday, and so far, it made it to 2 final mixes, one Epic Metal and one Xmas Ballad song.
Need to say more? You guys rule.
This is the best kick drum sample I have ever tried, hopefully much more in the future
