Depends weather you're talking about new trancey hardcore, dutch hardcore etc...
New trancey stuff just uses hard trance kicks. Don't go for uk trance kicks because they're too weak for the genre - if you're talking about dutch style hardcore and gabber, try the hardcore pack at http://www.vipzone-samples.com/inde...rom=vipzone.old

I'd say they use more hard house kicks - punchy and short sometimes a little distorted but only very gently.
Def not using hard trance kicks IMHO, too long a tail when playing at 180bpm and it will muddy the usually desired effect, which is to get a choppy or rolling relationship between kick and bass.
