    If you do use the same kick drum for your drum roll as well as you main kick (when the track is running) then turn down the drum roll. The intensity of the roll reaching the same level as when it plays in the track will lose the impact of the track coming back in.

    A few producers (usually in hardcore and hard dance, hard house, the kind of genres using kick rolls) use the regular kick, reaching the same level as the regular kick. Being a constant blast makes huge rms power which is never matched when the track gets going, so the 'drop' where everything gets going with the beats loses impact.

    Yes, you're right about the volume
    But you need to be careful. You can't just use a different bassdrum all of a sudden out of nowhere
    Btw you can always apply effects or lower the volume a little bit, pitch it very slightly up or down as the rolls ends, putting a filter that opens/closes; etc; don't you agree?
