Snare/Clap Technique?

[Spicymike]

How does Dj smokey get such a slappy snare/clap sample?

Here's what I mean:

 

[chopz makes beats]

sounds like a processed 808 clap to me.. mainly eq'ed and saturated. the kick hit on the clap too every 4 bars or so

 

[KonKossKang]

Experimentation with effects on synthesized or recorded hand claps snares etc. And layering.

 

[Massan]

it's a live/drummachine clap, most probably layered with something, but not necessarily.
any live clap sample will work just fine

 

[Excio]

It is definitely an 808 clap layered with a live clap.

 

[Oxgaz]

Layered 808 Clap & Snare, Low Pass Filter, and when layered they are not aligned together, but have some phasing.

 

[Prestige Worldwide]

Possibly he layered a clap over a metallic rimshot
