The transient of the first kick hit is missing. Always start bouncing at least couple of milliseconds before the first hit to avoid these.
I felt reverberating the kick drum and the bass was a really odd choice. Usually people might end up reverberating anything but either of those two. In general I feel there's too much of that small room reverb everywhere; it sounds like I'm listening this through some cheap "room simulator" software in a Windows Media Player. If I listen only the "mid" signal of mid-side (where there is no reverb), there the low end sounds great.
A good starting point in this kind of music is to keep the drums and bass totally dry (even the snare) and start off with reverberating the pads other "sustainy" parts. One usually wants the drums as tight and punchy sounding as possible in this kind of music.
