looking for those heavy tom drops, does anybody have any idea what i'm talking about? if so please help me find some! and also i'm looking for a heavy up to date 808x kick cause the ones i have aren't doin it :( not the regular 808 kick, the one that layers under it as meaning the sub behind the kick. thanks all cheers! happy music making
 
Could you provide an audio example of some track where these toms are easy to hear, and point out the timing in the song.

yeah it's normally like a down tune of the snares, though i'm looking more specifically on the tom side to gain that heavier jungle effect sort. i did happen to boost my 808 kick so thats fine. let me get that audio example. youtube this i havent posted more than 5 yet lol.



@ 3:19 those aren't exactly snares right? they're more on the heavy tom side as they down shift tune? i'm looking for something sort of on that low end. thank you!

That's a real drumkit. Either a sample from a song, or a couple of oneshot samples.
The first hit is a snaredrum, and the rest are toms at different sizes, going from a tom with a higher pitch, and moving downwards.
To get that drum pregression, you simply need to either find a nice sample of it and use it, or find a samplekit with recorded drumhits and/or drumloops that match your needs (or of course do a real recording, if you now wanna do that).
And just to mention, you won't be able to recreate that by using 1 tom sample and pitching it down, you'll need to think a little bit on the drumset and use multiple different toms recorded with the same drumkit.
If you'll go with a oneshot drumpack, the best would be to have one with several recorded takes on each drum.
Then you can do some processing to enhance them and make them hit harder.

finally listened to this: on a 16th grid I hear it as follows (xx means both sticks hit the indicated drum)

1e&u2e&u3e&u4e&u
tom1x
tom2xx
floor tomx
snarexxx

almost a stock rock/pop drum fill

this is also filled with dynamic information and a very subtle groove and the toms are panned with some separation between them
