The part about percussion was very helpful. I've been using percussion more in my sequences, and it sounds better than I thought it would. It just takes practice.
I know reverb works on psytrance kicks, but you have to layer it and not reverb the low end. Works really well when at a bush doofs/raves and the reverb of the kick reverb is reverbing of the trees and hills. Sounds like it is calling your name.... trippy
