Gonna have to go with My Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar for just the best bass drop in general. Like a whole new world. But it's not a headbanger or anything.
If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven't heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.
It's one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there's nothing quite like them out there, even if you don't end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.
Chemical Brothers - Under The Influence has always been my go-to system tester. The song itself is meh, but a good system will rattle your bones listening to it.
I was pretty confused for a moment reading this, thinking you were pumping music into your spinal cord or something then I realized it was speakers you're talking about haha
You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It's early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me?
There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.
The same is true for Wave music, but here's a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000
Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.
My only complaint with Flat Beat is that the song never goes anywhere. Just the same, flat, unchanging beat for an entire five minutes and 25 seconds. I suppose that's the point.
I don't disagree. There were better songs on the Analog Worms Attack album but that is the song I remember the name of having not heard it in a decade or more.
Oh man, I had that phase in my teenage years where I was absolutely obsessed with all that EDM music. My tastes are more varied now but I still enjoy those absolute headbangers.
I.Y.F.F.E - Jurassic
Lock N Bounce - Illusions
Rameses B - Full Force
xKore - Full Russian
RIOT - Overkill
Monstercat Uncaged is still a great label to search through if you want more of this high energy stuff.
It’s not a bass drop in the strictest sense but FUCK dude “Stone” by Mammoth WVH has a sludgy fucking breakdown with some of the most epic dramatic pauses in all of music and I can’t get enough of it

If you want a headbanger: Born Slippy by NUXX
There's also Livin' Loose by George Clanton with a legendary bass drop, but it's not very high energy, more like chilled out:
If you do want a bit more high energy:
Quicksand by Sweet Valley
If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven't heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.
It's one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there's nothing quite like them out there, even if you don't end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.
Tekka by Sweet Trip
Pro:lov:ad by Sweet Trip
Also if you like that song above, check out this fan-made music video by rigging a facegen AI to react to the beat of the music
If you want something more normal:
I wait for u (by the telephone) - Figurine
If modern electronic/rap is also okay: check out this, it's basically death grips but less over the top experimental:
Not that I'm anywhere by Cities Aviv
And as an extra non-EDM "epic bass drop" (well more like drums kicking in), I can't help but mention this:
Talking Distance by Soundbeam Sound Machine
and
Doomsday by Speedy Ortiz.
EDIT: sorry if that's too many! It was hard to narrow it down to so few of my all time favourites that fit the criteria or that I think OP will like!

Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.
If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I'll refrain. Here's just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X
The same is true for Wave music, but here's a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000
Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.

I’m a fan of subsonics.
Here’s one from my recently liked songs.
https://youtu.be/vQVpjDIL-vg
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
Are subsonics the bass sounds that are so low that you can't hear it but can feel it if the space is small enough?
I used to listen to some electronica that would move my cars subwoofers like crazy but you couldn't hear an audible base.
Brkdncr@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Listen to some Lorn for some other examples. I appreciate music you can feel.

Bot of War, from the Astro Bot soundtrack. Let's just say the bass drop is memorable if you played the last 2 GOW games.
