I wanted a little more beater sound from the bass drum.


If you mean you want to hear the kick pedal hitting the drum head, I've found quite often that boosting it around 2kHz (maybe a hair below) helps.
I know this seems weird, but the 'snap' sound of the peddle hitting the head is often found there..

Just something I've learned when dealing with drums.
It's not uncommon to have to isolate the bass drum like you described. It's part of the art of recording. Even with drums I've mic'd & recorded myself..

and as Jim mentioned, you will likely find there is a very defined and narrow range of the EQ that gets this sound ( the 'Q' in his post).

Find that narrow frequency range that has that exact snap you want and use it.

Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
