Kick - You should replace that kick immediately. It's super duper distracting. The track they gave is absolute garbage. I hope you agree. It also seems like a lot of your kick sound is from the overheads, and I personally advise against doing that. Every time the kick hits it dips your cymbals out in a bad way. It also makes you lean on the bass for the entire mix's low end content, which seems to be damaging the master. I do like the attempt at giving the kick a high end presence. I have to applaud you for that.

Jade, the kick track included with this set of multi tracks is a kick trigger track, it wasn't recorded with a mic at all and was intended to be replaced. Personally when I mixed this track I replaced the entire kit with samples and called it a day . The kick track isn't garbage, it's just not a traditional kick drum recording.
