2017 kick was a whole different vibe 🥳😀

[@DTunezOfficial]

Great video and cinematogrophy!

[@Fraiz0r]

2014 - 2018. Missing that kind of kicks !! 😢

[@Hardcrafter2807]

I'm making a doomcore/darkcore track at the moment and I'm actually super happy with how my kick turned out for it. I'm surprising myself to be honest since while I have made kicks the past, I wasn't making them all the time and constantly learning. It's actually the second kick I've made this year, the first kick was for an extremely experimental 300bpm terrorcore type track which I made in the Cubase 11 trial (though I decided to getting FL Studio after). One thing I particularly enjoy about hardstyle and hardcore kicks is that you can just play around with any distortion type, and more different types of effects until you eventually find something you love. Plus, having Kick 2 or any other drum synthesizer that you can play with the settings of even post-processing can help find the sound you want. Kick production might just be my favourite thing in hard dance music production.

2016 kicks hit different

[@LOCKY777777]

2014 kick. So good 👊

[@Aerox90]

Thanks for the tips! 🙂 I just got back into producing after a 10 years break. It's really cool to see how different techniques has evolved since I was active! 😁

[@carloscalvo6428]

Thank you clockartz!❤

[@puntech3248]

Thanks for the tricks man this is helpful and encouraging, i know how stressful it was in making kick process, people keep suggesting using sample available but my desire will never fulfilled in producing if i give up on them. Once again thank you

[@Clockartz]

Thanks you Jerry! Yeah you say it, i couldn’t live with it haha😃

[@HardstyleCastle]

1:47 I hear Zatox from 10 years ago. But perhaps it is just the screetch which sounds like the one in "How Much Can You Take". Personally I like the old ones but the 2020 is fking dope man.

[@Hardcrow777]

Yes, i learned something here. Thank you 🎶🎧

[@Clockartz]

then i am happy! thanks for watching ;)

[@AnymMusic]

"I guess" my man it sounds like a good kick for that era of hardstyle don't be so modest 😂🙌

[@xxeriloquendoGTA]

Would love a kick tutorial in depth later, great job! :D

[@inarax8972]

Hello, I love the kick of 2014 and 2018, any tips to make such good tails like this (3:40) ? they sound so good !

[@czechmex88]

lots of careful layering to get the character and lots of subtle tweaking after the main character is achieved. I exported my kick 20+ times even after the character of the tail and tok were achieved and blended well

[@paradigmshift7541]

what the hell is this style kick called, it's so much better than the garbage raw style and sharp punchy kicks you hear for the last 4-5 years

[@Armingo6]

reverse bass FTW!!!

[@darbomusic]

Nice and clean 😉

[@wyyho]

Dope video!

thank you!

i like 2012 the most

[@jlc5271]

Can you make a tutorial on that 2012 kick style please? The 2015 one is also nice

[@IgnacioPM]

amazing kicks man! i think you forgot "nothing last forever" kick, i really love it and also one of my favorite from you

[@Clockartz]

oh yeah, well i have many more hehe. I just showed you 1 for each year so you could hear the revolution! xD

[@AnymMusic]

(sad thing is I lowkey stopped hardstyle production because of that dang kick making, just can't get behind it lol. who knows maybe I can learn it in-between all the future rave I'm making)

[@netsonmusic]

Most recent is the sweetest imo , thank you for video , bro . Seriously , let's do a collab pliz? just once , i'm more in melodies and you can create nice kick-bass

[@paradigmshift7541]

Hey Clockartz, what style kick is 3:40? Hardstyle is so fun to dance and listen to at live concert/festival with this kick, but I don't know what type of kick it is. I would love to popularize it more with USA scene, because I'm more familiar with this region and it would be very popular here.

[@TraxtasyMedia]

2018: Hello my name is Clockartz and now I sound like Headhunterz back in 2012 with Dragonborn xD (not offending) but the similarity is too obvious. By the way: BIG PROPS to everyone who uses FabFilter by Dan Worral

[@TommyNation]

Cubase in German settings? Never thought you are German.

2020 What a Kick I Love it FCK CORONA

[@Clockartz]

Thank you mate🙏🏻

[@arziva1615]

do you make a kick sample pack in the future ? :)) especially with the 2020 kick in the video ! would buy that

[@Clockartz]

maybe :)

[@arziva1615]

@@Clockartz 😍 Yeahh I'm Hopeing 😉🙌

[@sendlocation8476]

@CLOCKARTZ I am trying to make a NC crunchy kick. I am only using Distroyer only as distortion plugin. The problem I have is when I use many instances of eq and Distroyers on the Drumazon 909 I can never achieve the tail growl and crunch. The tail sound I get just sounds like a weak low passed saw wave. How can I get that crunch and growl tail sound with Distroyer? What pre filters settings in Distroyer should I set it to etc?

[@Clockartz]

I think the key is to analyze the kick that you want to remake and then make several layers with all kind of different parts that you need to come to your end result. I think making it from 1 sound is going to be hard.

[@max-y3r]

feier dein video sehr! bin auch gerade am lernen, hilft mir sehr! :)

[@Clockartz]

Kein problem Max🔥🤞🏻

[@outsidemayor2098]

[@GroundBeef1]

do you distort the reverb part after you've stemmed it?

[@Clockartz]

Normally i don’t do that, but definitely possible :)

[@DeutscherKaiser]

Heftig. Hätte auch Bock selber Songs zu Producen weil mir paar Melodien und Ideen im Kopf schweben. Hab nur keine Ahnung wie und wo ich anfangen soll 🤔

Hard style has come along way just look at the old school stuff that is more like dnb

Maybe you can add a reverse reverb to get the same result? Just thinking…

thank you! not really, mainly with distorion, eq and reverb ;)

Hey dude, you forgot to link your discord server! :-)

[@Clockartz]

oh thanks, its now in the description! :)

Hey Clockartz, produzieren die meisten Hardstyle DJs mit Cuebase oder ist das sehr gemischt? Ich würde gerne auch anfangen Musik zu machen, würde aber direkt gerne mit dem richtigen Programm einsteigen. Danke dir!

[@MoleculeMedia]

Waaait you're using Cubase in german? :D

[@Clockartz]

Yup hahaha

would be cool if you have let us listen all and then talking on them!

Funny to see that you are using Cubase with german language. Can you renew the discord link? It's expired.

[@Clockartz]

Done ;)

[@theowels5773]

How tf did he instantly render that kick in CUBASE?!

[@Clockartz]

Hey Theo, there is a function called "render in place". When you select all items that you want to render and rightclick > render in place :)

[@theowels5773]

@@Clockartz ahhh, yeah after a little clicking I found it under the edit tab, maybe it's that on mac rather than right click, cheers

@@Clockartz yeah haha, it doesn't seem to render any reverb or delay tails tho 🤷‍♂️which could potentially be a pain. Still nice to know about it

How do you add bass to it? it's not a normal sub like in house is it?

it depends, layering a regural sinus wave to it or taking the lowend of my distorded tails and adjust it until it sounds sweet ;)

Very nice Video. But what I heard is not evolving your personal experience, just only the progression of hardstyle in this years.

[@der_makrophag]

Great kicks! However, these "punches" before distortion do not sound like 909 at all. ;)

[@Luftbubblan]

Was fun to hear your progress. Not sure i found the content to be very useful doe. Don't know how to explain it, hmm. It's vague. If that makes sense. Ty for video :D

Amazing how you've spoken for 13 minutes and said absolutely nothing... but lets hear your new kick again.

[@contentuser8821]

wtf, u r german?

Love how the kicks gets worse every year. Not a diss to the producer at all, but the trend in hardstyle kicks has really been going downhill... :(

[@Clockartz]

🙏🏻

[@JakkeJakobsen]

I miss the long distorted tails of old. Hardstyle changed a fair bit the last years, maybe covid gave producers too much time to produce and not actually play it 🤔
