"A kickdrum definitely has a directional launch of energy." Yes, the initial compression zone leads the rarefaction zone, but is that what we *hear*? The most vexing problem when thinking about this issue arises from analogizing across phenomenological domains. Consider the post from "gymwear5@hotmail.com" which suggests the ultimate arbiters of hearing operate as "threshold triggered digital signal" generators. If this is so, we are insensitive to absolute phase. We simply hear the changes in pressure.Like you, I intend to settle this issue for myself this weekend.
