5 EQ Tips for Kick Drums: Transform Your Mix with Pro Secrets!

5 EQ Tips for Kick Drums: Transform Your Mix with Pro Secrets!

In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody take on a critical piece of every mix—the kick drum. Whether you want deep, chest-thumping lows or a sharp, defined attack, EQ is the key to making your kick sit right in the mix.

Here’s what we’re breaking down: Fundamental Low End – How to shape the bass for power without turning your mix into a muddy mess. Low Mids – The trouble zone! Tame the mud or embrace the warmth—your call. Upper Mids – Cutting through the mix without making your kick sound thin or harsh. The “Click” Factor – How the right amount of high-end attack can give your kick drum definition and presence.

Plus, we’ll dig into cutting vs. boosting in each range and explain the “why” behind each choice—because knowing whatto tweak is only half the battle.

And since this episode is all about kicks, we promise plenty of fun, a bit of nonsense, and of course, this week’s mysterious Friday Finds (you definitely don’t want to miss this one).

If you’ve ever struggled to make your kick drum hit just right, this episode is packed with practical EQ tips to help you lock in the perfect sound. Hit play and let’s get that low end in shape!
