I've always been impressed with Madeon's drums, specifically his kick sounds. Whenever I process my own kicks, I pretty regularly use some of his own samples I have as a reference. There are a couple different things about his samples that I've noticed but have never been able to reproduce, and so I'm wondering if anyone else has any thoughts as to how I can achieve a similar result.
The first thing is his transients. Compared to other kick samples, his transients are ridiculously fast and snappy, so much so that the sub frequencies of the kick hit almost simultaneously to the top end. Here's a screenshot as an example:

I'm assuming a transient shaper is what's causing the 'snappiness', but whenever I use one (I'm using NI's shaper) on my own samples it ends up changing the tonality of the kick drum in a really undesirable way.
The other thing is the frequency response of the sample. What's different from a lot of kicks I use, is his aren't peaking at any one frequency nearly as much as mine do. Example:

With frequency response, my question is how can I reduce peaks in the low end in the most transparent way possible?
