dubstep bass is too weak and doesn't go low enough.
Feist's Tout Doucement
little-scale's truly amazing 8bit masterpiece, Carcass (https://8bc.org/music/little-scale/Carcass/)
Gorillaz's Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach
Shirley Bassey's (Where Do I Begin) Love Story (Away Team Mix)

One of my favorite kicks in the world to test with is The Hitmen - The Energy Is You.

 

I also absolutely love the above stated Deamu5 - Strobe.

 

And then for testing really low I actually prefer stuff like Logistics & Netsky because they use really low bass lines along with clear kicks.

I will definately agree that Rusko doesn't go low enough, but there's some out there that's good for testing extention.

For deep bass testing, this works well Three 6 Mafia - Late Nite Tip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FonmhUBsXOY&hd=1 - once vocals kicks in, constant 15 ~ 25Hz rumble or something like that until song ends, with headphones that lack in deep bass you'll barely hear anything or perhaps even nothing of the bass. On my XB500 I feel it a lot more than I hear it, the experience you get from sitting in a car with the sub pumping bunch of air. It's meant for testing car subs though more than headphones. :p

This definitely got powerful audible deep bass, my guess in the 30~50Hz or so range sweeps. It works well for brainmassage lol.

For bass "thump" I like listening to hardstyle as it uses both deep and punchier bass at the same time for strong kicks. Such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs0Ls6eA2qM&hd=1 or this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1csm_Yc3oxU&hd=1

Going through my test song list. My absolute favorite to test lowest of the low is this one: Puscifer - Indigo Children (JLE Dub Mix)

Lil Wayne - "A Milli"

Far East Movement - "Like a G6"

 

Understandable if you aren't into that type of music, but they give some nice rumble. A Milli is crazy if your headphones can handle it.

I really like my A Milli instrumental track. It's pretty great.
