    It was just about clipping, if I remember correctly, back in the 90s.
    Get a good 909 BD.
    Bring GAIN up to the max on the channel, just play with that when you have the distortion kickdrum you want.
    Then, bounce it to audio sample.
    There you have it. You can add some reverb, as well.
    Here an example. It's just playing with dark reverb, tune, decay of the kick...
