make your drums sound harder?

Anybody that have good tips on how to make your drums sound harder and more phat with the stock plugins on the mpc software?

The transient shaper works.

Also duplicate a track, or the whole drum bus, compress one really hard with fast attack, probably with the vca compresser, leave the other uncompressed, mix together.

The low pass filter with a bit of resonance on the right bit of the kick will thump. Can be too much. High pass filter a kick around 30hz

The high pass filter can also make snares, hi-hats etc brighter if you get it at the right frequency with a little resonance.

Try a little distortion, might work.

Also eq.

Turn your drums up so high that they look like square waves, lol.

I've found that layering and adding filters and some reverb sometimes do the trick for me

Feed your drums. FEED IT.

For drum kicks take away some of the low end eq from other instruments. That will give the kick room to breathe.

does the mpc software have a stock plugin similar to the CLA-76?

In this order (for me) :

The right (layered) drumsounds
Transient Shaping
Parallel Compression
