you could double them up on separate layers.  some
filters make things a lot louder, like megasweepz.

personally though, I'd record each hit into a DAW at
the highest possible level withoug clipping and then
compress, EQ, etc.  that means you have to rely on a
sampler or a computer to trigger it back live.

but honestly, not even just the loudness, to me the
drums don't pack the same punch that a professional
recording does.  if you're at a gig and a DJ either
plays before or after you, my experience has been with
the XL rom that my beats didn't hit the same.  the
kick especially.  hip hop and techno get this kick
that sounds really deep and powerful.  

if anybody has a secret to making super fat kicks
please share. (on or off the actual XX-7) I have two
tips. 
first, gate a tone across it, route a send from the
kick to a low sine tone ( like 40 hz. or thereabouts)
then when the kick hits it opens up the tone.  40 is
the hip hop standard.  
another sweet trick is to take an eq, and turn the
Q/bandwith as narrow as it will go, jack the gain all
the way up, then sweep the low freq. until you find
the sweet spot.  add as much as 10 dB to that freq.,
and they say 51hz. is a magig freq. for techno.

peace,

wesley
