Are you sure its the kick that's producing the bounce?
Sometimes there's a bass sound that goes along with the kick, like a 303, and the rebound which is kinda bouncy is produced purely with the bass sound when the kick has already died away.
Also something like a 303 sound is easier to manipulate and extend than a kick. You'd have to be producing the kick completely synthetically to add more to it. This could be either a) very novel or b) very wasteful and time consuming.
In short... imo
Creating a bouncy, groovy, locomotive or gallopy effect in your music can be achieved more easily by manipulating the bassline rhythm as opposed to the percussion. Seeing as you're usually using a hardware/soft synth to produce the bassline which is far easier to customise for your specific needs than samples of drums.
I just use the percussion to give the rhythm its initial bite. But then... I'm more into psy-trance and hardhouse and I love to go the alien, synthesized route.
