Hardcore kicks in hardstyle.

[dj fattman]

Its the gabba kicks in hardstyle which make me like it along with the italian type energetic bass line. I have gone right off alot of hardstyle since they have stopped usin the gabba kick so much. Seems to fairy without it!!

i think that the gabba kik is 2 crazy but does sound good wen dun properly.showtek 4 instance.a bit less distortion and it frees up the trak 4 more nicer and more melodic riffs which is catchn on in uk.i find their kiks aint as bazzy. 4 it to get massive ova here we need more producers thers a few but they not as hard as hld and ger they produce uk hardtrance wiv a hardstyle twist as 4 the big hardstyle djs ova here they all play dutch and ger tunes says it all really. and the fact that every1 luvs the tidy stuff which is no were near as hard apart 4 tm4hg cds of course .imho

I love gabba I really do and have done since I started raving in 1993. The mokum records were excellent. But with hardstyle I prefer the more puncy kick than the gabba pounding and banging kick. But thats just me.
