Blankets are commonly put inside the kick drum to change the sound. It is usually used to dampen the sound to give a tighter low thud. Also prevents the sound from having a a higher toned sound from the kick drum heads from rattling too much. Some drummers prefer and old pillow. Feel free to try different objects and find the sound you like.
