Re: broken speaker kick drum...used in Berghain style techno

Give this a try and see if it starts getting you close.

cut the "hit" of the drop into a single beat, reverse this snippet then dub it off into a delay - the longer and more modulation the better. take this delay print and reverse it and paste it back under the mix before the drop as a buildup.
