The kick

Step 1: Rusko always begins his tracks by creating a drum pattern, and Rat Track, the dirty dancefloor beast that we’re dissecting here, is no exception. The first element is a kick drum, sampled from a house track. This has been equalised using Acid Pro 6’s built-in EQ. The 79Hz region is boosted by 2.9dB to add punch, and a high shelf is used to give extra presence to the rhythm.

Hey I've just done my own dubstep bass workshop series which you can check on my youtube channel. It's based around Ableton 8 as well and the exclusive use of the amazing Native Instruments Massive synth.
