Its ez to complicate stuff and get super nerdy about one drum but i prefer just to try and vibe it out. Try and find one great kick sample thats the dominant force and contains the right elements to start with ie sub,low,low midi, mid hi mid and tops, punch etc. All this IS possible with the right sample.

If the sample is lacking in any way then key a sine to add more subs or grab a kick with a nice attack and filter out all the elements apart from the attack. Then compress it all together to taste.

I have many tracks with just one kick in but everyones taste and methods differ.
