the way you painted it i think you want a snare or a clap. there's so many samples you could use for each. reverb (gated) - compression - and delay come to my mind in this respect. maybe you want one of those white - noise kinda snares?

please supply us with a snippet of the sound you are aiming at. that would be immensly helpful. are you going for that really basic 4 to the floor sound, i.e.:

Kick : X---X---X---X---

Snare/Clap: ----X-------X---

so the snare/clap comes on every second kick?

i'd really like to be of service but we need a sample! upload it via yousendit.com or sth. :boadj:
