  Not sure about Dafos. Not the tracks one thinks of! Higher tuned percussion is quick, but OP wants fast bass.
  
  I think Mickey and his gang favor a lot of resonance in their low end. It's big bass. But not really fast.
  
  Just listened to Oscar Peterson and Count Basie "...Meet Again" track 3, Home Run.
  
  Put the system up to jazz club levels. Shouldn't hear much except a "gut drop" when that kick hits sometimes.
  
  Remember, at realistic levels, your lungs are passive radiators and the best judge of bass timing.

    I said "maybe" as part of many to consider. When Mickey kicks over the massive batterie, the impulse of it comes first and then the massive waves of very low frequency waves which pulsate enormously. If the impulse of it is weak and you can't hear the waves pulsating in different directions all over the sound field (like standing on a beach with crashing storm waves), that's a weakness.
    
    If you strike a 60" bass drum tuned to 25hz you will get the immediate impulse but the frequency of the resonance is 1/25 sec., which is v. slow.
