YES
I use it in my every production. I also enjoy playing with it alone. Sometimes all you need is a bass drum. It even survived an accidental drop (the internal speaker did not survive,but the Volca works just fine)

My favorite Volca
This thing's a beast, I use it mainly with my volca sample to add that analogue oomph that I felt the sample was missing.
It works as a kick obviously but it can also do massive sub-basslines, there are also some good videos of people using it to play melodies via MIDI [see Oscillator Sink].
Pros:
Massive sound.
Same form-factor as the other volcas.
Fun to mess around on!
Cons:
Some blips at the start of pattern-chained sequences.
Relatively low feature-to-cost ratio (touch FX are cool tho)
Conclusion:
It's probably my favorite volca, for some reason it's simplicity speaks to me.

Busting some fat kicks to pitched noises
Korg Volca Kick is a great tool to create music in any kind of situation. I love how it carries so many possibilities in it. I am using it in my live electronic music setup.
Its one of my first analog music hardware and i love it!
Biggest plus: MIDI Sync possiblites with CV output is a lot of fun and creative!
Biggest con: The mini jack input can be quite a hassle on some stage/desk setups.

Awesome kick drum synthesizer. Use it for my techno productions. Much easier than searching for perfect kick drum from sample libraries :) Better make your own. Quick intuitive and result is great!

POWERFUL
Small but powerful. This little thing can really pack a punch to your productions for your kicks and sub bass.

Most underwhelming Volca
Even though I'm a Volca enthusiast, to me the Kick is a rather underwhelming instrument. As a kick sound generator it has some uses, but I find the humble volca beats, with its 3-knobs engine, more suitable for most applications. Apart from that the Volca Kick can be used as a (sub) bass machine and as a sine whistle synth, and it's versatile enough to produce a few weird noises... but that's all.
The "accent" feature is too clicky, in an unpleasant way, and when the instrument is powered from AC there's a bit too much background noise.

Great for Volca stack
Great sound, cool workflow and good enough build quality. Surprisingly high improvement of my Volca stack.
