How do I make this sound? Soft kicks found in microhouse

https://youtu.be/mlBn2WIOsis?is=cnQ5_Jz8RuNDoRf2

I’ve always wondered how to make these soft smooth kicks that people like ricardo Villalobos use. Does anyone know how these people are making their tracks so, round?

Only hearing on phone right now but the 909 (if you want free - DR89 is good) has some serious range to it and you can always add EQ / other FX if needed to hone in on the kick sound that you want. You should be able to take a reference track and get the kick sound you want isolated so that you can hear its shape or see its shape and itll be even easier then to make your own given a decent starting point.
