Amazing plugin! Huge time saver, and the randomize feature makes it super fun to discover unique ideas. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next! This honestly has the potential to become the ultimate tool for making harder genres. Must have for all producers!

Hardkick is the perfect plugin for layering your signature kicks.
Thanks to the various soundbanks available in the store, it opens up endless new possibilities for bringing your ideas to life. Plus, the export function is flawless and makes processing your results a breeze. Highly recommended! If you take your kick drums seriously, you will like this toolkit!

I’ve been really impressed with this plugin it’s a genuinely creative tool that makes it easy to get the ideas flowing. With just one click you can generate a powerful, polished kick, but what really stands out is the level of control you have over each layer if you want to fine-tune things.
Even after only a few hours of use, I’ve already created some amazing kicks and had a number of colleagues ask what I used, which says a lot. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how this plugin evolves it feels like one with a lot of potential.

Psy Kicks mit rollendem Bass, Hard Tech kicks mit Rumbles, oder Hardstyle und Zaags, alles geht und hat wirklich unendlich Kombinationsmöglichkeiten.

I’ve used many kick plugins, but this one is definitely worth taking a closer look at. Thanks guys for the great work, and special thanks to the extremely responsive customer support!! Greetings from Geneva. Alex

This is an amazing plugin. Great for instant inspiration and for finding the right kick for leads/screeches. I would like to see that the pure sub gets more controlls like volume and ADSR. I hope it gets updated regularly so it keeps up with the always evolving kicks aswell!
I was surprised by the quality of the kicks that you get with it. They can be used pretty much straight out of the plugin itself with little to no processing.
Great work on this!

Thanks for the nice review. You can click the edit icon next to the OSC type icon to use the ADSR and volume control.
We have many updates planned on our backlog. Check out Discord channel for the list.

Bought this plugin yesterday and i absolutely love this plugin! I recommend it for every harddance producer. This is such a live saver if you can’t make your own kicks or if you ever run out of samples, then this is the BEST. The finetune options are very handy and they seem easy to use, although some crunches have a reverb of a attack in it, but thats an easy fix with the eq and the start of the tail. Probably the best feature is that it automaticly pitches the kick!
conclusion: This is a very nice plugin for people who can’t make kicks or run out of ideas. Because you basicly come up with ideas when you make a kick!
To the creator: Thanks for this amazing plugin!
PS: i would love to see a wider option, becuase on my screen it its a bit small, but dont do it if you think it looks better this way!

I have been using the plugin for a while now and can say that Hard Kick is a fantastic plugin for hard dance producers. It’s super easy to make a good kick with this plugin and you can also customize it to your taste. You can quickly get a kick that fits into your mix, and that’s a time saver (trust me). This makes everything so much more fun and you can be very creative with this plugin (also with rolling the dice).
A key factor for me is that the low-end/sub bass is excellent and the sound quality is top-notch (which is often not the case with samples, for example).
My thanks and compliments to the creators of this plugin.

I just bought Hardkick and I love it! It speeds up your work, it’s simple. This is so much better than a sample pack. You can scroll through the presets while composing your drop and immediately feel whether the vibe is there or not.
In the future, I also want to use my own kicks in the VST, especially because it follows the pitch and tempo of the track.

I love how much time I save when I’m either looking for or creating a kick, I’d spend so much time perfecting a kick, but with Hardkick, I can randomise, or build it from scratch. Recommended for any harder style produce
