Slow,

I have little dount that the "jumping" is related to the "kick-drum" noises. Is your car from the islands? "JA - Mon! We're jammin'!"

I would guess that you need to take a very close look at the ignition system, from the reluctor to the plugs, and everything between. If that doesn't completely cure it, it will at least eliminate a lot of the possibilities.
