The free download link is located at the end of this article.
The Library – Free Kick Sample Pack
Kick Drum contains 120 analog-style kick drum samples. The included kick samples are production-ready.
The samples are available as WAV files and Kontakt patches. The provided patches are already mapped across the keyboard, making it easy to match the selected kick drum to the key of your project.
Choose the kick patch, play the desired MIDI note in the piano roll, and you’re done. This makes 99Sounds Kick Drum an absolutely perfect addition to our popular 99 Drum Samples collection.
The Instrument – Free Kick Samples For NI Kontakt
If you own the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt, you can also use the provided NKI patches, which feature a fully customized user interface.
You can control various sound parameters such as envelope attack and decay, pitch envelope amount and speed, and HP/LP filter cutoff and resonance. The high-pass filter is especially handy in this case because you can use it to boost the low end of your kick drum at higher resonance settings.
The panel also provides hands-on control over five built-in effects (bitcrusher, sample rate reducer, tube saturator, tape saturator, and reverb) and output volume.
You can easily browse through the available patches using the two arrow buttons in the top part of the user interface.
Please note that the NKI patches will only work for fifteen minutes at a time in the free Kontakt Player (this is a demo limitation of the free version of NI Kontakt).
The Artist
The included samples were created by 8-bit Logic, a UK-based sound designer and music producer. You can follow his work on his Twitter profile and his SoundCloud page.
A big thank you goes out to our friend Avner M., who provided the SFZ patches.

You can never have too many kicks, and these sound deep and thick. I will make good use of these, thanks 8-bit!
No worries! For a great fellow Sound Designer like yourself to complement them is a honour in itself!

I tried downloading this kick sample pack and it downloads some funny application file instead of a zip folder like the other packs. Maybe Im just being dumb. Can someone give me some advise thanks
The problem was caused by our file host. The link is now updated, please give it another try.
