Are digital synths good enough for creating kicks? If so which ones? Why?
Do you need a synth that allows you to produce a sine-wave constantly at the beginning of its wave cycle for greatest impact?
I would be very gratefull if someone could fill me in with this info..

In my experience DKS software drum synth is a good one. The reason is that it has good audio quality and can create complex sound. Actually a kick drum is very complex sound(that evolves in a very short time).
Sine wave is the simpler type of wave(no harmonics), so also the cheapest virtual synth could work, in theory. But in my experience I found that the preset sine wave from my akai s900 has some hidden musicality that could not be explained in theory... but it is for me.
