Take the kick drum challenge. There are seven audio samples on this page. Six of them are samples of a 22" Pearl kick drum with varying amounts of processing. The seventh is a balloon that I thumped with my finger in front of a microphone. See if you can tell which is the balloon. Send your guess to riverswim2003@aol.com

Six samples are of this... | One is this.

Kick 1 | Kick 2 | Kick 3 | Kick 4 | Kick 5 | Kick 6 | Kick 7
