Hey, welcome to forum. I like what you've done with a lot of this mix. I think the overall instrument balance is good, and I think the rhythm section of bass, kick and snare sound fine. I don't hear any obvious problems with the kick. from memory the supplied track is fairly clickety clack but I'm not picking that up
2 things that struck me
1) you have quite a bit of roll-off between 4-10kHz, which means your mix sounds quite dark. If that's the sound you're after then that's ok as it not overpowering. However a small boost in this area in the master buss would give you a bit more pop and drive from the snare and open the mix up a bit.
2) i think vox is borderline in how it sits in the chorus .... I'm not sure if its maybe a little too wet, or whether the synths are bit high, or maybe just a level thing but i think its worth looking again at the balance in these sections
cheers
