Yeah, what Lucas said.
The kick and the bass guitar aren't playing well together. Sounds like you may have added a low end shelf EQ on the bass track. I would recommend reducing the amount, and high-passing it at about 40Hz. Then tackle the kick... Frankly, I found the recorded kick so lacking, I just replaced it with a sample. But, you have to carve out space in both the kick and and the bass, so they're not competing over the same dominant frequencies. Example, if the kick really "sings" at 60Hz, notch out a little 60Hz on the bass guitar. And, if the bass sings at 100Hz, pull a little 100Hz out of the kick. Plenty of great tutorials on YouTube on that subject. But overall, the drums are too quiet in the mix.
