The last couple of years at Synth DIY UK I got several questions from people 
asking how I modelled the well known TR-808 bass drum digitally, and if I 
uncovered any of it's supposed "secrets" in the process?

This DAFx paper linked below gives an excellent explanation of pretty much 
everything I had to contend with when I developed the bass drum model for my 
DSP:

I didn't write the paper.  However, I'm glad that they did as it is a 
factually correct and concise explanation for those curious about such 
things,

-Richie,
