Kickmas 2: 20+ Free Psytrance Kick Samples by Glitch Soundbanks
A focused free kick pack for psytrance producers who want ready-to-layer low-end starting points.
Kickmas 2 by Glitch Soundbanks is a compact free collection built specifically around psytrance kick drums. The official store currently lists more than 20 kick samples at a price of $0, making it an easy addition to a dedicated psytrance drum folder.
A Pack Focused on One Essential Sound
Psytrance kicks need a very particular balance of transient, body and low-end tail. Kickmas 2 avoids unnecessary extras and gives producers a selection of kicks that can be auditioned quickly against an existing bassline.
- 20+ kick samples
- Psytrance-focused sound design
- Free download
- Ready for layering and further processing
Why Dedicated Psytrance Kicks Matter
Using a generic EDM kick can work, but psytrance often demands a tighter relationship between the kick tail and rolling bass. Starting with genre-focused source material can reduce the amount of corrective EQ and envelope editing required.

Production Tips
Do not judge a kick in solo. Test it directly with your bass patch, then adjust phase, decay and low-end balance. Small pitch changes can also help the fundamental sit more naturally with the key and bass movement.
- Audition kicks with the bass playing
- Check phase at the crossover region
- Trim tails before adding compression
- Use subtle saturation rather than excessive limiting

Who Is It For?
Kickmas 2 is best suited to psytrance, progressive psy and related electronic styles. Producers outside those genres may still find useful punchy kicks for techno or harder dance productions.
Simple, Free and Specific
This is exactly the kind of small free pack that can be more useful than a giant bundle: one category, a clear purpose and very little time wasted browsing unrelated sounds.
