Here is what I do, maybe some of you (especially Battery users) will find this useful. First, it's important to realize and keep in mind that there is not a single kick that will sound great in all songs. Battery, is fantastic to use as a producer because it alows me to audition an entire archive of kick samples in real time while the sequencer is playing all the other perc tracks and the bass tracks. This is an awesome tool. I can work very fast letting my ears quickly choose what sounds good and skip what doesn't. Once you find that first perfect kick sound, if necessary you can then layer a second or third kick with the first and tweak both (auditioning in real time). This will yeild a kick that sounds perfect with the song. This is the best way to produce in my opinion. It's not so beneficial for me to get a bunch of layered samples others have tweaked for their uses. However, more high quality single kick samples are always great to have.
I often layer a few kick samples together to get a little more click sound for more punch. Also, I often layer a clap sound with a snare to give it the snap i need. Adjusting the tails on each layer is a useful tweak (all very easy to do in real time with Battery) Hope it helps. Again real time auditioning and layering "Kicks"!
