You can create a 808 deep bass kick or short bass kick from a pure sinewave, generated in the menu in adobe audition and/or sound forge.

Pitch down the sinewave and have it long and fading out for the long deep bass.

Same thing but cut it short for the shorted kick bass drum.

Or you can download 808 sounds from everywhere on the net.

This is a good way to create your own 808 style kicks...

Excerpt from a Keyboard (10.97) interview with DJ Shadow...

"What I do a lot of times on the 3000 is, if the break doesn’t have enough bump in it, if it’s not quite deep enough and doesn’t have enough punch in the bass, I’ll copy the bass [drum] pad and run the filter down to, like, 10, so it’s all bass. Then run it simultaneously with original. I might give it some reverb too, which gives it a kind of 808 feel."
