I cannot offer much advice other than I use to run the DM-1 iPad app live in a post punk/indie rock context. I would use the in app low pass filter on the kick, but set the wet/dry blend to 30-40% just enough to make the subs move a bit more. I disagree to some extent with what was said above about no higher frequencies should be involved in kicks. Really depends on context and the mix IMO. With that said I can really dig a kick that is all lows. --Then I added compression with a wet dry blend as well. A lot less work is needed in a live indie rock context i'd imagine as the drums aren't the primary focus, but there it is.
Also, default ILF answer: Team Awesome Fuzz Machine. always sounds great on drums if you are looking for a more aggressive fuzzy drum sound.
