Punch The Drump

Send your drump to an aux track. Crank a compressor (1176 style) with fast attack (1-3ms), fast release (50ms), and a 10:1 ratio. Pull the threshold down until you get 10-15dB of gain reduction. Then, blend this crushed signal back under the dry signal. This adds body without killing the transient you built in step 3.

Sometimes, a user genuinely means to type "Punch the Drum" (as in starting a movement or making noise). When autocorrect changes "Drum" to "Drump," the comment section explodes. This happy accident has birthed the sub-meme: "Even my phone wants to punch the Drump."

Use Soft Clip mode or Medium Asymmetry. Drive the signal until you see the peak just kiss the ceiling. You want the kick to feel slightly aggressive, like a clenched fist hitting a leather couch.
