You mean the 808 Sub Bass sounds.
There are a few ways to make the sound. You can look up Akai 808 bass sounds and certainly find something fitting your description. If you want to DIY you can start with a sine wave pitched somewhere in the A2 octave and use a grahpic EQ to cut about 6db from the 400 HZ section. You will want to have a medium sized Q sweep on your filter. Next take a narrow Q sweep and boost the bands between 50 HZ and 80 HZ you will likely hear the bass come into tune and start to feel the sub frequencies. You will want to cut at about 5K I generally uses a scooped filter so that I have most frequencies after 5K at lease - 12DB. After doing all of this you can burn down your sample, but you are still not done. The reason the bass sounds hit so hard is because most of those old school guys used outboard gear to make the sound. Almost all of them used normalization to make it thump. So just normalize the sample you've made and load it up into a drum machine or drum rack.
Please let me know if you run into any problems, i have a contact at Roland Corp that does clinics with their Fantom products and he does the 808 bass during his presentations.

Wow! After I get done with that, I'm gonna try to build a rocket!Joking aside, thats a lot of work. I'll give it a try.
Let me know if you need any help building your rocket.....lol. Here is a link to a sound I found on tis site that you can use. The reason I would use this is that when you pitch it up you should still get some sub frequencies.
